A Review on Spatial Pattern Methods for BrainComputer Interface

Author : B. Bijitha 1 Nandakumar P 2

Date of Publication :7th May 2016

Abstract: Brain-computer interface technology is the one in which the user’s mental intentions are captured and used as control signals for external devices. BCI researches are becoming more popular as it can be used as a means of communication for people with severe disability. The efficiency of a BCI system depends on its signal processing stages. The signal processing stages include the signal acquisition, feature extraction and classification. In this paper, a brief review of one of the feature extraction methods called spatial pattern algorithms for BCI is provided.
