Abstract

Brain computer interfaces (BCI) represent an alternative for patients whose cognitive functions are preserved, but are unable to communicate via conventional means. A commonly used BCI paradigm is based on the detection of event-related potentials, particularly the P300, immersed in the electroencephalogram (EEG). In order to transfer laboratory-tested BCIs into systems that can be used by at homes, it is relevant to investigate if it is possible to select a limited set of EEG channels that work for most subjects and across different sessions without a significant decrease in performance. In this work, two strategies for channel selection for a single-trial P300 brain computer interface were evaluated and compared. The first strategy was tailored specifically for each subject, whereas the second strategy aimed at finding a subject-independent set of channels. In both strategies, genetic algorithms (GAs) and recursive feature elimination algorithms were used. The classification stage was performed using a linear discriminant. A dataset of EEG recordings from 18 healthy subjects was used test the proposed configurations. Performance indexes were calculated to evaluate the system. Results showed that a fixed subset of four subject-independent EEG channels selected using GA provided the best compromise between BCI setup and single-trial system performance.
