Motor-modality-based brain computer interface (BCI) could promote the neural rehabilitation for stroke patients. Temporal-spatial analysis was commonly used for pattern recognition in this task. This paper introduced a novel connectivity network analysis for EEG-based feature selection. The network features of connectivity pattern not only captured the spatial activities responding to motor task, but also mined the interactive pattern among these cerebral regions. Furthermore, the effective combination between temporal-spatial analysis and network analysis was evaluated for improving the performance of BCI classification (81.7%). And the results demonstrated that it could raise the classification accuracies for most of patients (6 of 7 patients). This proposed method was meaningful for developing the effective BCI training program for stroke rehabilitation.
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.
