In the last decade, BCI technology has emerged to impact the society in terms of brain connectivity with the machines. This is due to EEG signals which play a key role. EEG signals are acquired from the human scalp non-invasively. EEG signals represent different states of the brain inferring to neural activity. Low amplitudes of EEG signals make it more vulnerable to the noise. EEG signals are amplified and filtered to remove noise and artefacts. To extract the useful information from the clean EEG data, feature extraction plays a critical role in assessing the person’s cognitive or mental states of brain. Brain connectivity is another perspective to understand the brain functional networks and regions. These features can be further used in brain computer interfacing, gaming, and neural rehabilitation purposes.
This tutorial will focus on brain signal processing using EEG data. The main focus is on feature extraction and classification.
The tutorial will cover the following topics:
- Fundamentals of Brain Science
- EEG pre-processing & band analysis
- Feature Extraction
- Time Series Analysis
- Frequency Based Analysis
- Time Frequency Analysis
- Classification
- Brain Connectivity
