Abstract
Although brain–computer interface (BCI) methods
have been evolving quickly in recent decades, there still a number of unsolved
difficulties, such as enhancement of motor imagery (MI) classification. The
most commonly used signals in BCI investigations is electroencephalography
(EEG) recordings. EEG has restricted tenacity and needs extensive training and
has restricted stability. Over the past ten years, an expanding number of
studies has discovered the use of electrocorticography (ECoG) activity extracting
signals from the surface of the mind. ECOG has attracted considerable and
expanding interest, because its mechanical characteristics should readily
support robust and chronic implementations of BCI systems in humans. In this
paper, we suggest a hybrid algorithm to advance the classification achievement
rate of MI based electrocorticography (ECoG) in BCIs. To verify the
effectiveness of the suggested classifier, we restore the SVM classifier with
the identical features extracted from the cross-correlation method for the
classification. The performances of those procedures are assessed with
classification correctness through a 10-fold cross-validation procedure. Then
consider the performance of the suggested procedure by comparing it with
existing system.
