Motor imagery based Brain-computer Interface(BCI), which has recently attracted attention, is the technique for decoding the user's voluntary motor intention using Electroencephalography(EEG). For classifying the motor imagery, event-related desynchronization(ERD), which is the phenomenon of EEG voltage drop at sensorimotor area in ${\mu}$-band(8-13Hz), has been generally used but this method are not free from the performance degradation of the BCI system because EEG has low spatial resolution and shows different ERD-appearing band according to users. Common spatial pattern(CSP) was proposed to solve the low spatial resolution problem but it has a disadvantage of being very sensitive to frequency-band selection. Discriminative filter bank common spatial pattern(DFBCSP) tried to solve the frequency-band selection problem by using the Fisher ratio of the averaged EEG signal power and establishing discriminative filter bank(DFB) which only includes the feature frequency-band. However, we found that DFB might not include the proper filters showing the spatial pattern of ERD. To solve this problem, we apply a band-selection process using CSP feature vectors and linear discriminant analysis to DFBCSP instead of the averaged EEG signal power. The filter selection results and the classification accuracies of the existing and the proposed methods show that the CSP feature is more effective than signal power feature.

Brain Computer Interface (BCI) is a communication pathway between devices (computers) and human brain. It treats brain signals in real-time basis and discriminates some information of what human brain is doing. In this work, we develop a EEG BCI system using a feature extraction such as common spatial pattern (CSP) and a classifier using Fisher linear discriminant analysis (FLDA). Two-class EEG motor imagery movement datasets with both cued and uncued are tested to verify its feasibility.

뇌전도 기반 뇌-컴퓨터 인터페이스 기술은 신체 움직임이 불가능하거나 불편한 사람에게 새로운 의사전달 수단이 될 수 있으며 일반인에게도 상상만으로 컴퓨터 혹은 기계에 명령을 내릴 수 있게 하는 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 뇌-컴퓨터 인터페이스 연구 분야에 잘 알려진 Common Spatial Pattern (CSP), Invariant Common Spatial Pattern (iCSP) 그리고 Common Spatio-Spectral Pattern (CSSP) 알고리즘들의 성능을 비교 분석하였고, CSSP에 불변성(invariant)을 고려한 iCSSP를 제안하였다. 9명의 피험자로부터 상상움직임 실험을 통해 18셋의 뇌전도 데이터를 측정하였고, 4가지 알고리즘들을 성능 면에서 비교하였다. 그 결과 CSSP의 성능과 차이가 크지는 않지만, 본 연구에서 제안한 노이즈를 고려하여 최적의 필터를 구성하는 iCSSP에 대하여 더 나은 성능을 보여주는 결과들을 확인할 수 있었다.

To identify the spatial distribution pattern of water quality in Masan Bay, Pearson's correlation as a common statistic method and Moran's I as a spatial autocorrelation statistics were applied to the hydrological data seasonally collected from Masan Bay for two years ($2004{\sim}2005$). Spatial distribution of salinity, DO and silicate among the hydrological parameters clustered strongly while chlorophyll a distribution displayed a weak clustering. When the similarity matrix of Moran's I was compared with correlation matrix of Pearson's r, only the relationships of temperature vs. salinity, temperature vs. silicate and silicate vs. total inorganic nitrogen showed significant correlation and similarity of spatial clustered pattern. Considering Pearson's correlation and the spatial autocorrelation results, water quality distribution patterns of Masan Bay were conceptually simplified into four types. Based on the simplified types, Moran's I and Pearson's r were compared respectively with spatial distribution maps on salinity and silicate with a strong clustered pattern, and with chlorophyll a having no clustered pattern. According to these test results, spatial distribution of the water quality in Masan Bay could be summed up in four patterns. This summation should be developed as spatial index to be linked with pollutant and ecological indicators for coastal health assessment.

Identifying the major moving patterns of shoppers' movements in the selling floor has been a longstanding issue in the retailing industry. With the advent of RFID technology, it has been easier to collect the moving data for a individual shopper's movement. Most of the previous studies used the traditional clustering technique to identify the major moving pattern of customers. However, in using clustering technique, due to the spatial constraint (aisle layout or other physical obstructions in the store), standard clustering methods are not feasible for moving data like shopping path should be adjusted for the analysis in advance, which is time-consuming and causes data distortion. To alleviate this problems, we propose a new approach to spatial pattern clustering based on longest common subsequence (LCSS). Experimental results using the real data obtained from a grocery in Seoul show that the proposed method performs well in finding the hot spot and dead spot as well as in finding the major path patterns of customer movements.

For the identifying of spatial distribution pattern, Moran's Index(I) which has the range of values from -1 to +1 is common method for the spatial autocorrelation measurement. When I is close to 1, all neighboring features have close to the same value, indicating clustered pattern. Conversely, if the spatial pattern is dispersed, I is close to -1. And I closing to 0 means spatially random pattern. However, this index equation is influenced by how defining the neighboring features for target feature. To compare and understand the difference of neighborhood definition methods, fixed distance neighboring method and Gabriel Network method were used for I. In this study, these two methods were applied to two marine environments with water quality data. One is Gwangyang Bay which has complex geometric coastal structure located in South Sea of Korea. Another is Uljin area adjacent to open sea located in east coast of Korea. The distances between water quality observed locations were relatively regular in Gwangyang Bay, however, irregular in Uljin area. And for the fixed distance method popular Arc GIS tool was used, but, for the Gabriel Network, Visual Basic program was developed to produce Gabriel Network and calculate Moran's I and its Z-score automatically. According to this experimental results, different spatial pattern was showed differently for some data with using of neighboring definition methods. Therefore there is need to choose neighboring definition method carefully for spatial pattern analysis.

Braincomputer interface (BCI) technology is making advances in the field of humancomputer interaction (HCI). To improve the BCI technology, we study the changes in the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals for six levels of grip strength: 10%, 20%, 40%, 50%, 70%, and 80% of the maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). The measured EEG data are categorized into three classes: Weak, Medium, and Strong. Features are then extracted using power spectrum analysis and multiclass-common spatial pattern (multiclass-CSP). Feature datasets are classified using a support vector machine (SVM). The accuracy rate is higher for the Strong class than the other classes.

In this paper, an extension of the standard common spatial pattern (CSP) algorithm using the strong uncorrelated transform (SUT) is used in order to extract the features for an accurate classification of the left- and right-hand motor imagery tasks. The algorithm is designed to analyze the complex data, which can preserve the additional information of the relationship between the two electroencephalogram (EEG) data from distant channels. This is based on the fact that distant regions of the brain are spatially distributed spatially and related, as in a network. The real-world left- and right-hand motor imagery EEG data was acquired through the Physionet database and the support vector machine (SVM) was used as a classifier to test the proposed method. The results showed that extracting the features of the pair-wise channel data using the strong uncorrelated transform complex common spatial pattern (SUTCCSP) provides a higher classification rate compared to the standard CSP algorithm.

Brain-computer interface (BCI) is being studied for convenient life in various application fields. The purpose of this study is to investigate a changing electroencephalography (EEG) for precise motion of a robot or an artificial arm. Three subjects who participated in this experiment performed three-task: Grip, Move, Relax. Acquired EEG data was extracted feature data using two feature extraction algorithm (power spectrum analysis and multi-common spatial pattern). Support vector machine (SVM) were applied the extracted feature data for classification. The classification accuracy was the highest at Grip class of two subjects. The results of this research are expected to be useful for patients required prosthetic limb using EEG.
