Analysis of Movement Related EEG Signal by Time Dependent Fractal Dimension and Neural Network for Brain Computer Interface NI NI SOE (D3) Fractal and Chaos Informatics Laboratory (NLAB)
Background and Purpose • A brain computer interface is a system that can learn to recognize patterns of increased activity in local areas of the brain. • An Electroencephalogram (EEG) based Brain-Computer-Interface (BCI) to provides a new communication channel between the human brain and a computer. • To classify stochastic, non-stationary, self-similar signals which originate from non-linear systems and may be comprised of multiple signals, using independent component based blind signal separation, a time dependent fractal dimension analysis and neural networks.
Introduction • A brain computer interface is designed to recognize patterns in data extracted from the brain and associate the patterns with commands. • Very often these patterns, or states, are referred to as thoughts, and accordingly, systems that rely on BCI techniques for input are described as being thought controlled.
EEG Signal Acquisition Module Where to place the electrodes? • The electrodes are placed according to the international standard 10-20 system. • The electrode position of 16 channels placed as shown in Fig. of frontal area (F3 and F4), central area (C3, Cz and C4), parietal area(P3, Pz and P4) • The grounding electrode and referencing electrode are placed at forehead and right ear lobe respectively. • EEG signal are digitized at 1024 samples/sec, resolution 16bit/sample. • Signal were analog bandpass filtered between 1.5 and 100 Hz.
Feature Extraction Module • Feature extraction is by Fractal dimension. • What is Fractal? • A fractal is defined as a set for which Hausdorff-Besicovich dimension is strictly greater than the topological dimension. • Fractal dimension is defining property in the study of textual analysis. • We use fractal dimension as feature extraction.
Feature Extraction of EEG signal by CEM based Fractal dimension • The method proposed here is based on fractal dimension by CEM. • Let, the αth momment is Iα • Where, P(u) = power spectral density, • u= normalized frequency whose lower cut off is 1. • Assume, P(u)~u-β
Feature Extraction of EEG signal by CEM based Fractal dimension(cont.) • Then, • Where, X=α-β+1, υ= logU • Then, αc , the critical value can get by satisfying the following equation β=αc+1=2H+1 , D=2-H=2-αc/2 , D is the fractal dimension
An Introduction to Probabilistic NeuralNetworks • A probabilistic neural network (PNN) is predominantly a classifier • Map any input pattern to a number of classifications • Can be forced into a more general function approximator • A PNN is an implementation of a statistical algorithm called kernel discriminant analysis in which the operations are organized into a multilayered feed forward network with four layers: • Input layer • Pattern layer • Summation layer • Output layer
Experimental setup • Actual and Imaginary movement of two subjects. • 3 tasks • 7 trials for each tack • 1 trial took 30sec • 5 trials is for training pattern and 2 is for testing pattern. We also tried the following sequence of task for testing our PNN.
Experimental resultof PNN • The following table shows the result of the imaginary tasks of subject 1. Window size = 2048 , step = 256
Discussion and future works • The long term goal of this research is to apply the BCI system in controlling of environmental navigation system of Humanoid robot. • The experimental results show that it is possible to recognize quite reliably ongoing mental movement imaginary in the application area of humanoid robot control. • In future, we are going to utilize Lyapunov exponent and chao neuron mpdel for classification.
Conclusions we have demonstrated fractal based TDFD based feature extraction and PNN classifier. The results of the experiment indicate that the EEG signals do contain extractable and classifiable information about the performed movements, during both physical and imagined movements. The experimental results show that the proposed classification systems are capable of classifying non-stationary, self-similar signals, such as EEG signal, with average accuracies up to 90%.
