A methodology for the selection and determination of electroencephalographic (EEG) signal patterns is presented at the case study level, which can later be used as on-off control signals in other applications. Electroencephalographic signals are acquired through the use of a brain-computer interface (BCI). These systems capture electrical signals from the cortex of the brain and transfer them to a computer so that they can be analyzed by algorithms and some action is taken. In this case, the EEG signals are acquired through the wireless 14-channel Epoc+ platform. The methodology used consists first in acquiring signals from the user sample in three scenarios: in relaxation, thinking about turning on and off. Subsequently, the wavelet transform of each of the channels is obtained for each of the cases and the most significant coefficients are taken into account. Then, through digital signal processing algorithms, descriptive parameters are obtained for the on and off cases, which are used as patterns to describe each of the actions. With this information, a comparison between the incoming signals and the previously stored patterns is made to execute one of the established commands.
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.
