dc.description.abstractElectroencephalogram (EEG) is the measurement of the electrical activity of the brain measured by placing electrodes on the scalp. These EEG signals give the micro-voltage difference between different parts of the brain in a non-invasive manner. The brain activity measured in this way is being currently analyzed for a possible diagnosis of physiological and psychiatric diseases. These signals have also found a way into cognitive research. At Colorado State University we are trying to investigate the use of EEG as computer input. In this particular research our goal is to classify two mental tasks. A subject is asked to think about a mental task and the EEG signals are measured using six electrodes on his scalp. In order to differentiate between two different tasks, the EEG signals produced by each task need to be classified. We hypothesize that a bottleneck neural network would help us to classify EEG data much better than classification techniques like Linear Discriminant Analysis(LDA), Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA), and Support Vector Machines. A five layer bottleneck neural network is trained using a fast convergence algorithm (variation of Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm) and Scaled Conjugate Gradient (SCG). Classification is compared between a neural network, LDA, QDA and SVM for both raw EEG data as well as bottleneck layer output. Results indicate that QDA and SVM do better classification of raw EEG data without a bottleneck network. QDA and SVM always achieved higher classification accuracy than the neural network with a bottleneck layer in all our experiments. Neural network was able to achieve its best classification accuracy of 92% of test samples correctly classified, whereas QDA achieved 100% accuracy in classifying the test data.
