Abstract

One major question in designing an EEG-based Brain Computer Interface to bypass the normal motor pathways is the selection of proper electrode positions. This study investigates electrode selection with a Distinction Sensitive Learning Vector Quantizer (DSLVQ). DSLVQ is an extended Learning Vector Quantizer (LVQ) which employs a weighted distance function for dynamical scaling and feature selection. The data analysed and classified were 56-channel EEG recordings over sensorimotor areas during preparation for discrete left or right index finger flexions. Data from 3 subjects are reported. It was found by DSLVQ that the most important electrode positions for differentiation between planning of left and right finger movement overlie cortical finger/hand areas over both hemispheres.
