A review of signal processing in brain computer interface system

Abstract

Brain computer interface system incorporating signal processing techniques augments human capabilities by providing a new interaction link with the outside world and is particularly relevant as an aid for paralyzed humans, and even for able-bodied people. This paper describes the essential components of BCI system, types and signal processing techniques used in the system. Several methods of electrode placement, filtering, feature extraction and EEG signal classifications are also discussed. Future improvements on BCI system are proposed based on the limitations that have been highlighted.
