Abstract-We propose an off-line analysis method in order to discriminate between motor imagery tasks manipulated in a brain computer interface system. A measure of large-scale synchronization based on phase locking value is established. The results indicate that it can take advantage of the phase synchrony between scalp-recorded EEG activity in the supplementary motor area and in sezorimotor area, computing the differences between the active and the relaxation states. Phase locking value features are more discriminative in β rhythm than in µ rhythm. The proposed method is simple, computationally efficient and proves good results on EEG Motor Movement/Imagery Dataset available from PhysioNet research resource for physiologic signals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
