In this paper, we proposed a brain-computer interface system using EEG signals. It can generate 4 direction command signal from EEG signals captured during imagination of subjects. Bandpass filter used for preprocessing to detect the brain signal, and the power spectrum at a specific frequency domain of the EEG signals for concentration status and non-concentration one is used for feature. In order to generate an adequate signal for controlling the 4 direction movement, we propose a new interface system implemented by using a support vector machine and a time-multiplexing method. Moreover, bio-feed back process and on-line adaptive pattern recognition mechanism are also considered in the proposed system. Computer experimental results show that the proposed method is effective to recognize the non-stational brain wave signal.

As a primary technology of Industry 4.0, human-robot collaboration (HRC) requires additional measures to ensure worker safety. Previous studies on avoiding collisions between collaborative robots and workers mainly detect collisions based on sensors and cameras attached to the robot. This method requires complex algorithms to continuously track robots, people, and objects and has the disadvantage of not being able to respond quickly to changes in the work environment. The present study was conducted to implement a web-based platform that manages collaborative robots by recognizing the emotions of workers - specifically their perception of danger - in the collaborative process. To this end, we developed a web-based application that collects and stores emotion-related brain waves via a wearable device; a deep-learning model that extracts and classifies the characteristics of neutral, positive, and negative emotions; and an Internet-of-things (IoT) interface program that controls motor operation according to classified emotions. We conducted a comparative analysis of our system's performance using a public open dataset and a dataset collected through actual measurement, achieving validation accuracies of 96.8% and 70.7%, respectively.

Recently, deep learning technology has become those methods as de facto standards in the area of medical data representation. But, deep learning inherently requires a large amount of training data, which poses a challenge for its direct application in the medical field where acquiring large-scale data is not straightforward. Additionally, brain signal modalities also suffer from these problems owing to the high variability. Research has focused on designing deep neural network structures capable of effectively extracting spectro-spatio-temporal characteristics of brain signals, or employing self-supervised learning methods to pre-learn the neurophysiological features of brain signals. This paper analyzes methodologies used to handle small-scale data in emerging fields such as brain-computer interfaces and brain signal-based state prediction, presenting future directions for these technologies. At first, this paper examines deep neural network structures for representing brain signals, then analyzes self-supervised learning methodologies aimed at efficiently learning the characteristics of brain signals. Finally, the paper discusses key insights and future directions for deep learning-based brain signal analysis.

Motor imagery based Brain-computer Interface(BCI), which has recently attracted attention, is the technique for decoding the user's voluntary motor intention using Electroencephalography(EEG). For classifying the motor imagery, event-related desynchronization(ERD), which is the phenomenon of EEG voltage drop at sensorimotor area in ${\mu}$-band(8-13Hz), has been generally used but this method are not free from the performance degradation of the BCI system because EEG has low spatial resolution and shows different ERD-appearing band according to users. Common spatial pattern(CSP) was proposed to solve the low spatial resolution problem but it has a disadvantage of being very sensitive to frequency-band selection. Discriminative filter bank common spatial pattern(DFBCSP) tried to solve the frequency-band selection problem by using the Fisher ratio of the averaged EEG signal power and establishing discriminative filter bank(DFB) which only includes the feature frequency-band. However, we found that DFB might not include the proper filters showing the spatial pattern of ERD. To solve this problem, we apply a band-selection process using CSP feature vectors and linear discriminant analysis to DFBCSP instead of the averaged EEG signal power. The filter selection results and the classification accuracies of the existing and the proposed methods show that the CSP feature is more effective than signal power feature.

The brain-computer interface obtains a user's electroencephalogram as a replacement communication unit for the disabled such that the user is able to control machines by simply thinking instead of using hands or feet. In this paper, we propose a feature extraction method based on a non-selected filter by SBCSP to classify motor imagery EEG. First, we divide frequencies (4~40 Hz) into 4-Hz units and apply CSP to each Unit. Second, we obtain the FLD score vector by combining FLD results. Finally, the FLD score vector is projected onto the optimal plane for classification using PCA. We use BCI Competition III dataset IVa, and Extracted features are used as input for LS-SVM. The classification accuracy of the proposed method was evaluated using $10{\times}10$ fold cross-validation. For subjects 'aa', 'al', 'av', 'aw', and 'ay', results were $85.29{\pm}0.93%$, $95.43{\pm}0.57%$, $72.57{\pm}2.37%$, $91.82{\pm}1.38%$, and $93.50{\pm}0.69%$, respectively.

Until now, Electroencephalography(: EEG) has been the most important and convenient method for the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy. However, it is difficult to identify the wave characteristics of an epileptic EEG signals because it is very weak, non-stationary and has strong background noise. In this paper, we analyse the effect of dimensionality reduction methods on Epileptic EEG feature selection and classification. Three dimensionality reduction methods: Pincipal Component Analysis(: PCA), Kernel Principal Component Analysis(: KPCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis(: LDA） were investigated. The performance of each method was evaluated by using Support Vector Machine SVM, Logistic Regression(: LR), K-Nearestneighbor(: K-NN), Decision Tree(: DR) and Random Forest(: RF). From the experimental result, PCA recorded 75% of highest accuracy in SVM, LR and K-NN. KPCA recorded 85% of best performance in SVM and K-KNN while LDA achieved 100% accuracy in K-NN. Thus, LDA dimensionality reduction is found to provide the best classification result for epileptic EEG signal.

In this paper, we measured EEG signals on frontal and Broca's area when subjects imagine to speak A or B or C or D. These signals were analyzed by Event-Related Spectral Perturbation (ERSP), Inter-Trial Coherence (ITC) and Event Related Potential (ERP) methods. As a result, high coherences were showed at 1$\sim$13Hz during 0$\sim$300ms after the stimuli of each character and P300 was seen clearly and there are several differences between the ERP results. However, unlike the motivation of this study to classify the characters, it is impossible that we can classify each intention or each character cause these differences. Nevertheless, this paper suggest an application system using this results so BCI can provide various services.
