However, the ear-EEG studies have researched mostly targeting on a visual/auditory stimuli-based BCI system or a drowsiness detection system. To the best of our knowledge, there is no study on a motor-imagery (MI) detection system based on ear-EEG. MI is one of the mostly used paradigms in BCI because it does not need any external stimuli. MI that associated with ear-EEG could facilitate useful BCI applications in real-world. Hence, in this study, we aim to investigate a feasibility of the MI classification using ear-around EEG signals. We proposed a common spatial pattern (CSP)-based frequency-band optimization algorithm and compared it with three existing methods. The best classification results for two datasets are 71.8% and 68.07%, respectively, using the ear-around EEG signals (cf. 92.40% and 91.64% using motor-area EEG signals).","PeriodicalId":6537,"journal":{"name":"2018 6th International Conference on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)","volume":"67 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83969916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To improve concentration under a distracting environment, our proposed training method implemented a graphical interface as a source of visual feedback. The performance of the implemented training method is evaluated by comparing its results with those of a training method that does not support visual feedback. The experiments are held while a variety of noises are produced to simulate a distracting environment.

The GLM is very likely to make false predictions for motion artifact in fNIRS signals. The temporal characteristics of normal cerebral hemodynamics are basically the opposite tendency of oxy-hemoglobin (HbO) and deoxy-hemoglobin (HbR). When motion artifact occurs, HbO and HbR are completely different from normal cases as the baseline changes. This paper presents a cross-correlation between HbO and HbR as a feature that can determine the dynamic noise of fNIRS. Since cross-correlation is a deterministic tool that is easy to calculate, it will be very useful for noise elimination if it is noted as a criterion of dynamic noise in fNIRS signals.","PeriodicalId":6537,"journal":{"name":"2018 6th International Conference on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)","volume":"23 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83265241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
