Abstract
This paper presents an automatic selected channel method for improving brain-computer interface (BCI) performance. Finding an effective channel composition in a BCI system is important for parsing the complexity of these systems. In this study, several statistical methods based on an energy extraction method were used to automatically detect the composition of selected channels. We introduce four techniques for automatic channel selection to optimize the energy extraction method, such as mean, high mean, box, and high in box. The performance of all of the proposed techniques was evaluated based on performance accuracy, compression ratio, and channel mapping on a brain scalp. The performance of the proposed BCI framework was compared against a BCI framework that used a manual technique as the energy extraction method. The proposed BCI framework system used a conventional common spatial pattern (CSP) to extract features from two-class motor imagery EEG signals before employing extreme learning machine (ELM) to classify the features of the EEG signal. As a result, the proposed automatic channel selection methods were found effective in finding optimal channels and provided better performance accuracy. In general, the proposed method improved the conventional BCI performance by up to 16% accuracy and 87% channel compression size. Besides that, the automatic technique also yielded better BCI performance accuracy of up to 5% compared to the BCI system that used the manual technique of energy extraction as its EEG channel selection method.
