Differentially enabled communities face much difficulties and challenges in their life time while commuting from one place to another. Power wheelchairs were designed to aid the movement of these differentially enabled subjects and a Brain Computer Interface can also be applied to replace the existing conventional joystick method of controlling the movement of a wheelchair without using hands. In this research work, a simple protocol is proposed to record the EEG signals emanated from a subject while the subject performed four different kinesthetic motor imagery tasks. The noise present in the EEG signals are removed and three different feature sets, namely, power spectral density, Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients and Mel-frequency band structure based energy features are extracted. The extracted features are then associated to the type of motor imagery tasks and three multi-layer Perceptrons trained with Levenberg-Marquardt method are developed. The performance of the three Perceptron models are evaluated in term of classification rate and compared. From the results, it is observed that the Perceptron model trained with Mel-frequency band structure based features has yielded a higher classification accuracy for all 5 subjects, which is between 92.64-97.72%. The obtained result clearly indicates that the Mel-frequency band structure based features has potential to classify the four different motor imagery tasks.

This article reports on a comparative study to identify electroencephalography (EEG) signals during motor imagery (MI) for motor area EEG and all-channels EEG in the brain–computer interface (BCI) application. In this paper, we present two algorithms: CC-LS-SVM and CC-LR for MI tasks classification. The CC-LS-SVM algorithm combines the cross-correlation (CC) technique and the least square support vector machine (LS-SVM). The CC-LR algorithm assembles the CC technique and binary logistic regression (LR) model. These two algorithms are implemented on the motor area EEG and the all-channels EEG to investigate how well they perform and also to test which area EEG is better for the MI classification. These two algorithms are also compared with some existing methods which reveal their competitive performance during classification. Results on both datasets, IVa and IVb from BCI Competition III, show that the CC-LS-SVM algorithm performs better than the CC-LR algorithm on both the motor area EEG and the all-channels EEG. The results also demonstrate that the CC-LS-SVM algorithm performs much better for the all-channels EEG than for the motor area EEG. Furthermore, the LS-SVM-based approach can correctly identify the discriminative MI tasks, demonstrating the algorithm's superiority in classification performance over some existing methods.
