Abstract
This paper describes an experiment on the detection of a P-300 rhythm from electroencephalographic signals for brain computer interfaces applications. The P300 evoked potential is obtained from visual stimuli followed by a motor response from the subject. The EEG signals are obtained with a 14 electrodes Emotiv EPOC headset. Preprocessing of the signals includes denoising and blind source separation using an Independent Component Analysis algorithm. The P300 rhythm is detected through a time-scale analysis based on the discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Comparison using the Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT), and Wigner–Ville Distribution (WVD) indicates that the DWT outperforms the others as an analyzing tool for P300 rhythm detection.
