The Performance research about EEG-BCI algorithm in BCI-naive subjects is very important for evaluating the applicability to the public. We analyzed the result of the performance evaluation experiment about the EEG-BCI algorithm in BCI-naive subjects on three different aspects. The EEG-BCI algorithm used in this paper is composed of the common spatial pattern(CSP) and the least square linear classifier. CSP is used for obtaining the characteristic of event related desynchronization, and the least square linear classifier classifies the motor imagery EEG data of the left hand or right hand. The performance evaluation experiments about EEG-BCI algorithm is conducted for 40 men and women whose age are 23.87${\pm}$2.47. The performance evaluation about EEG-BCI algorithm in BCI-naive subjects is analyzed in terms of the accuracy, the relation between the information transfer rate and the accuracy, and the performance changes when the different types of cue were used in the training session and testing session. On the result of experiment, BCI-naive group has about 20% subjects whose accuracy exceed 0.7. And this results of the accuracy were not effected significantly by the types of cue. The Information transfer rate is in the inverse proportion to the accuracy. And the accuracy shows the severe deterioration when the motor imagery is less then 2 seconds.

BCI system integrates control or telecommunication system with generating electric signals in scalp itself after signal acquisition. This system detect a movement of EEG at real time, can control an electron equipment using a generated signal through EEG movement or software-based processor. In this paper, we deal with removing and separating artifacts induceced from measurement when brain-computer interface system that analyzes recognizes EEG signals occurred from various mental states. In this paper, we proposed a method of EEG classification and an artifact interval detection using bisection mathematical modeling in the EEG classification process for BCI system implementation.

EEG-based brain computer interface (BCI) provides a new communication channel between human brain and computer. The classification of EEG data is an important task in EEG-based BCI. In this paper we present methods which jointly employ principal component analysis (PCA) and linear dynamical system (LDS) modeling for the task of EEG classification. Experimental study for the classification of EEG data during imagination of a left or right hand movement confirms the validity of our proposed methods.

BCI(Brain-Computer Interface) is studied to control the machines with brain. In this study, an EEG(Electroencephalography) signal classification model is proposed. The model gets EEG pattern from each subject's brain and extracts characteristic features. The model discriminates the EEG patterns by using those extracted characteristic features of each subject. The proposed method classifies each pair of the given tasks and combines the results to give the final result. Four tasks such as rest, movement, mental-arithmetic calculation and point-fixing were used in the experiment. Over 90% of the trials, the model yielded successful results. The model exploits characteristic features of the subjects and the weight table that was produced after training. The analysis results of the model such as its high success rates and short processing time show that it can be used in a real-time brain-computer interface system.

Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a technology that allows users with motor disturbance to control machines by brainwaves without a physical controller. Motor imagery (MI)-BCI is one of the popular BCI techniques, but it needs a long calibration time for users to perform a mental task that causes high fatigue to the users. MI is reported as showing a similar neural mechanism as motor execution (ME) and motor observation (MO). However, integrative investigations of these three tasks are rarely conducted. In this study, we propose a new paradigm that incorporates three tasks (MI, ME, and MO) and conducted a comparative analysis. For this study, we collected Electroencephalograms (EEG) of motor imagery/execution/observation from 28 healthy subjects and investigated alpha event-related (de)synchronization (ERD/ERS) and classification accuracy (left vs. right motor tasks). As result, we observed ERD and ERS in MI, MO and ME although the timing is different across tasks. In addition, the MI showed strong ERD on the contralateral hemisphere, while the MO showed strong ERD on the ipsilateral side. In the classification analysis using a Riemannian geometry-based classifier, we obtained classification accuracies as MO (66.34%), MI (60.06%) and ME (58.57%). We conclude that there are similarities and differences in fundamental neural mechanisms across the three motor tasks and that these results could be used to advance the current MI-BCI further by incorporating data from ME and MO.

Brain computer interface(BCI) technology has been continuously developed due to the continuous development of interface technology and the promotion of brain wave research. In this paper, we propose a driving habit management system by adopting BCI to transportation. The proposed system consists of the electroencephalogram(EEG) measuring unit, the EEG analysis unit, the memory section for storing the state information of drivers, the speed controller unit and the alarming section for generating warnings. Our proposed system can reduce the drowsy driving, improve the driving habits of users and help to prevent traffic accidents.

사람의 뇌 속에 있는 신경 세포들은 여러 정보 처리 활동을 하면서 전기적인 신호를 발생시키는데 이를 두피 표면에서 측정한 것이 뇌파이다. 이러한 뇌파는 임상에서 주로 이용되어 왔으나 근래에는 이러한 뇌파를 이용하여 컴퓨터와 통신하거나 기기를 제어할 수 있는 이른바 BCI(Brain-Computer Interface)에 대한 연구가 대두되고 있다 BCI 연구의 궁극적 목표는 다양한 정신상태에 따른 뇌파의 특성을 파악하여 컴퓨터나 기기 등을 제어하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 좀 더 정확하고 신뢰성 있는 기기 제어를 위해 피험자의 의지대로 발생시킨 잡파를 이용하여 방향 제어 시스템을 구현하였다. 뇌파에 포함된 잡파 중 구별될 수 있는 특징을 나타내는 잡파를 선택하고 이들의 패턴을 인식하고 분류한 후 이를 제어 신호로 변환하여 방향을 제어하는 시스템을 구현하였다.

A Many studies have been made on the prediction of human voluntary movement intention in real-time based on invasive or non-invasive methods to help severely motor-disabled persons by offering some abilities of motor controls and communications. In the present study, we have developed an internet game driven by and/or linked to a brain-computer interface (BCI) system. Activities of two single neuronal units recorded from either hippocampus or prefrontal cortex of SD rats were used in real time to control two-dimensional movements of a robot, or a game object.
