In one type of brain-computer interface (BCI), users self-modulate brain activity as detected
by electroencephalography (EEG). To infer user intent, EEG signals are classified by
algorithms which typically use only one of the several types of information available in these
signals. One such BCI uses slow cortical potential (SCP) measures to classify single trials.
We complemented these measures with estimates of high-frequency (gamma-band) activity,
which has been associated with attentional and intentional states. Using a simple linear�…
In one type of brain-computer interface (BCI), users self-modulate brain activity as detected by electroencephalography (EEG). To infer user intent, EEG signals are classified by algorithms which typically use only one of the several types of information available in these signals. One such BCI uses slow cortical potential (SCP) measures to classify single trials. We complemented these measures with estimates of high-frequency (gamma-band) activity, which has been associated with attentional and intentional states. Using a simple linear classifier, we obtained significantly greater classification accuracy using both types of information from the same recording epochs compared to using SCPs alone.
