title: Classification of EEG with structural feature dictionaries in a brain computer interface.
abstract: We present a new method for the classification of EEG in a brain computer interface by adapting subject specific features in spectral, temporal and spatial domain. For this particular purpose we extend our previous work on ECoG classification based on structural feature dictionary and apply it to extract the spectro-temporal patterns of multichannel EEG recordings related to a motor imagery task. The construction of the feature dictionary based on undecimated wavelet packet transform is extended to block FFT. We evaluate several subset selection algorithms to select a small number of features for final classification. We tested our proposed approach on five subjects of BCI Competition 2005 dataset- IVa. By adapting the wavelet filter for each subject, the algorithm achieved an average classification accuracy of 91.4% The classification results and characteristic of selected features indicate that the proposed algorithm can jointly adapt to EEG patterns in spectro-spatio-temporal domain and provide classification accuracies as good as existing methods used in the literature.
