Motor imagery classification by means of source analysis methods.
We report our investigation of classification of imagined left and right hand movements by applying source analysis methods. Independent component analysis (ICA) is used as a spatio-temporal filter, then equivalent dipole analysis and cortical current density imaging methods are applied to reconstruct equivalent sources, to aid classification of motor imagery tasks in a human subject. The classification was considered correct if the equivalent source was found over the motor cortex in the corresponding hemisphere. A classification rate of about 80% was achieved in the human subject studied using both the equivalent dipole analysis and the cortical current density imaging analysis.
