A STATISTICAL FEATURE EXTRACTION IN WAVELET DOMAIN FOR MOVEMENT CLASSIFICATION: A CASE STUDY FOR EYES OPEN, EYES CLOSED, AND OPEN/CLOSED FIST TASKS

Analysis of brain signals constitute an importance, especially for paralyzed people or people suffer from motor disabilities. For this aim, some studies have been evaluated to measure signals from the scalp to provide non-muscle control arguments. Brain-Computer Interface Systems turns these signals into device signals that are controllable at the level of thought. In this paper, we classify diverse tasks according to EEG (electroencephalogram) signals. Then pre-processing, feature extraction and classification steps are hold. For classification, we use FLDA, Linear SVM, Quadratic SVM, PCA, and k-NN methods. The best result is obtained by using k-NN.
