Hidden Markov models used for the offline classification of EEG data.
Hidden Markov models (HMM) are introduced for the offline classification of single-trail EEG data in a brain-computer-interface (BCI). The HMMs are used to classify Hjorth parameters calculated from bipolar EEG data, recorded during the imagination of a left or right hand movement. The effects of different types of HMMs on the recognition rate are discussed. Furthermore a comparison of the results achieved with the linear discriminant (LD) and the HMM, is presented.
