Abstract

Classification of non-stationary electroencephalogram (EEG) data are of utmost importance for brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. This paper proposes a robust multiclass motor imagery (MI) BCI data classification technique. It is based on filter bank common spatial patterns (FBCSP) and AdaBoost classification technique. The method is tested on the 4-class MI BCI competition IV dataset 2a and the results show superior performance compared to the current state-of-the-art performances. This paper also analyzes different frequency sub-bands for the MI EEG data, in order to find the best sub-band which contains the most significant features for distinguishing different MI tasks.
