“…In recent years, many efficient channel selection algorithms have emerged, such as correlation-based methods, machine-learning-based methods, wrapper-based methods, heuristic-searching-based methods, and so on. Correlation-based method (Park and Chung, 2020 ; Liu T. et al, 2021 ; Tiwari and Chaturvedi, 2021 ) goes through the EEG signals obtained from each channel and uses various information-theoretic concepts to evaluate the correlated channels for each feature and to select these channels. So far, some information theoretic concepts, such as normalized mutual information (NMI) (Yang et al, 2021 ), entropy (Ghembaza and Djebbari, 2022 ), correlation coefficient (Jin et al, 2019 ; Moon et al, 2020 ), and chi-squared statistics (Baig et al, 2020 ), have been used to assess the correlation of channels.…”
