Abstract

This study aimed to finding effective approaches for electroencephalographic (EEG) multiclass classification of imaginary movements. The combined classifier of EEG signals based on artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) algorithms was applied. Effectiveness of the classifier was shown in 4-class imaginary finger movement classification. Nine right-handed subjects participated in the study. The mean decoding accuracy using combined heterogeneous classifier committee was −60 ± 10%, max: 77 ± 5%, while application of homogeneous classifier based on committee of ANNs −52 ± 9% and 65 ± 5% correspondingly. This work supports the feasibility of the approach, which is presumed suitable for imaginary movements decoding of four fingers of one hand. These results could be used for development of effective non-invasive BCI with enlarged amount of degrees of freedom.
