The brain-computerinterface (BCI) system is doing wonders for people suffering from restricted physical abilities due to accidents or diseases. BCI requires recording of electroencephalogram (EEG) from the subject in order to control electrical devices. In the wireless BCI system, there is always a possibility of EEG signal tampering/attacking during transmission, which may result in malfunction of the BCI system. This work introduces a security block in the BCI system that can ensure that the recorded EEG signals are intact at the receiving end of wireless BCI system. The security block identifies any tampering as well as authenticates the EEG signals at receiving end. Any change in EEG signal can result into classification error;because of that prediction error expansion based reversible watermarking approach has been used. The proposed scheme works efficiently and performance of BCI system remains unaltered after inclusion of security block.

This paper introduces a methodology based on deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) for motor imagery (MI) tasks recognition in the brain-computerinterface (BCI) system. More specifically, the DCNN is used for classification of the right hand and right foot MI-tasks based electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. The proposed method first transforms the input EEG signals into images by applying the time-frequency (T-F) approaches. The used T-F approaches are short-time-Fourier-transform (STFT) and continuous-wavelet-transform (CWT). After T-F transformation the images of MI-tasks EEG signals are applied to the DCNN stage. The pre-trained DCNN model, AlexNet is explored for classification. The efficiency of the proposed method is evaluated on IVa dataset of BCI competition-III. The evaluation metrics such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F1-score, and kappa value are used for measuring the proposed method results quantitatively. The obtained results show that the CWT approach yields better results than the STFT approach. In addition, the proposed method obtained 99.35% accuracy score is the best one among the existing methods accuracy scores.

Motor imagery (MI) tasks-based brain-computerinterface (BCI) system finds applications for disabled people to communicate with surrounding. The BCI system reliability is relied on how well the different MI tasks are assessed and identified. Electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings provide a noninvasive way for imaging of MI tasks in BCI system. In this framework, tunable-Q wavelet transform (TQWT)-based feature extraction method is proposed for the classification of different MI tasks EEG signals. The TQWT parameters are tuned for the decomposition of EEG signal into sub-bands. Time domain measures of sub-bands are considered as features for MI tasks EEG signals. The TQWT-based features are tested on least-squares support vector machine classifier for the classification of right-hand and right-foot MI tasks. The proposed method provides 96.89% MI tasks classification accuracy, which is the highest as compared to other existing same data set methods. The suggested method can be used for identification of MI tasks in a BCI system designed for controlling robotic arm and wheel chairs, etc.

These days, the Internet of things (IoT) research is driving large-scale development and deployment of many innovative applications. IoT has indeed brought many smart applications to the doorstep of users. IoT has also made it possible to connect many sensors and control equipment. Here, the authors address an important application for physically challenged. The authors present a brain-computerinterface (BCI) system to lock/unlock a wheelchair and control its movements using BCI. The approach presented here uses NeuroSky's MindWave Mobile, a single electrode electroencephalography (EEG) headset that can be connected to any Bluetooth-enabled system. The raw EEG data from the headset is processed on an Android mobile device to extract the electromyography (EMG) patterns that occur due to eye blinks and activity of muscles in the jaw. These patterns are used to control the movement of a wheelchair in all possible directions. A biometric security system is provided to lock and unlock the wheelchair by extracting the information about different brain waves from the raw EEG signal. In this system, only the user knows the password which is generated using brain waves and it can lock/unlock the wheelchair and control it. The proposed system was verified and evaluated using a prototype.

Background and Objective: Motor Imagery (MI) based brain-computer-interface (BCI) is a rising support system that can assist disabled people to communicate with the real world, without any external help. It serves as an alternative communication channel between the user and computer. Electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings prove to be an appropriate choice for imaging MI tasks in a BCI system as it provides a non-invasive way for completing the task. The reliability of a BCI system confides on the efficiency of the assessment of different MI tasks. Methods: The present work proposes a new approach for the classification of distinct MI tasks based on EEG signals using the flexible analytic wavelet transform (FAWT) technique. The FAWT decomposes the EEG signal into sub-bands and temporal moment-based features are extracted from the sub-bands. Feature normalization is applied to minimize the bias nature of classifier. The FAWT-based features are utilized as inputs to multiple classifiers. Ensemble learning method based Subspace k-Nearest Neighbour (kNN) classifier is established as the best and robust classifier for the distinction of the right hand (RH) and right foot (RF) MI tasks. Results: The sub-band (SB) wise features are tested on multiple classifiers and best performance parameters are obtained using the ensemble method based subspace kNN classifier. The best results of parameters are obtained for fourth SB as accuracy 99.33%, sensitivity 99%, specificity 99.6%, Fl-Score 0.9925, and kappa value 0.9865. The other sub-bands are also attained significant results using subspace KNN classifier. Conclusions: The proposed work explores the utility of FAWT based features for the classification of RH and RF MI tasks EEG signals. The suggested work highlights the effectiveness of multiple classifiers for classification MI-tasks. The proposed method shows better performance in comparison to state-of-arts methods. Thus, the potential to implement a BCI system for controlling

This paper investigates the use of Permutation Entropy (PE) as a feature for mental task classification for a brain-computer interface system. PE is a recently introduced measure which quantifies signal complexity by measuring the departure of a time series from a random one. More regular signals are characterized by lower PE values. Here, PE is utilized to characterize signals from electroencephalograms of 3 subjects performing 4 motor imagery tasks, which are then classified using a Support Vector Machine. Even though it is possible to obtain 100% single-trial classification accuracy, this is very much subject-dependent.
