The design of brain-computer interface for the wheelchair for physically disabled people is presented. The design of the proposed system is based on receiving, processing, and classification of the electroencephalographic (EEG) signals and then performing the control of the wheelchair. The number of experimental measurements of brain activity has been done using human control commands of the wheelchair. Based on the mental activity of the user and the control commands of the wheelchair, the design of classification system based on fuzzy neural networks (FNN) is considered. The design of FNN based algorithm is used for brain-actuated control. The training data is used to design the system and then test data is applied to measure the performance of the control system. The control of the wheelchair is performed under real conditions using direction and speed control commands of the wheelchair. The approach used in the paper allows reducing the probability of misclassification and improving the control accuracy of the wheelchair.

In the development of Brain Computer Interface (BCI), one important issue is the classification of hand grasping imagination. It is helpful for realtime control of the robotic or a game of the mind. BCI uses EEG signal to get information on the human. This research proposed methods to classify EEG signal against hand grasping imagination using Neural Networks.  EEG signal was recorded in ten seconds of four subjects each four times that were asked to imagine three classes of grasping (grasp, loose, and relax). Four subjects used as training data and four subjects as testing data. First, EEG signal was modeled in order 20 Autoregressive (AR) so that got AR coefficients being passed Neural Networks. The order of the AR model chosen based optimization gave a small error that is 1.96%. Then, it has developed a classification system using multilayer architecture and Adaptive Backpropagation as training algorithm. Using AR made training of the system more stable and reduced oscillation. Besides, the use of the AR model as a representation of the EEG signal improved the classification system accuracy of 68% to 82%. To verify the performance improvement of the proposed classification scheme, a comparison of the Adaptive Backpropagation and the conventional Backpropagation in training of the system. It resulted in an increase accuracy of 76% to 82%. The system was validated against all training data that produced an accuracy of 91%. The classification system that has been implemented in the software so that can be used as the brain computer interface.

This paper proposes a novel fuzzy modeling approach for identification of dynamic systems. A fuzzy model, recurrent interval type-2 fuzzy neural network (RIT2FNN), is constructed by using a recurrent neural network which recurrent weights, mean and standard deviation of the membership functions are updated. The complete back propagation (BP) algorithm tuning equations used to tune the antecedent and consequent parameters for the interval type-2 fuzzy neural networks (IT2FNNs) are developed to handle the training data corrupted by noise or rule uncertainties for nonlinear system identification involving external disturbances. Only by using the current inputs and most recent outputs of the input layers, the system can be completely identified based on RIT2FNNs. In order to show that the interval IT2FNNs can handle the measurement uncertainties, training data are corrupted by white Gaussian noise with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) 20 dB. Simulation results are obtained for the identification of nonlinear system, which yield more improved performance than those using recurrent type-1 fuzzy neural networks (RT1FNNs).

<div>Electro Encephalo Gram (EEG) is a monitoring method used in biomedical and computer science to understand brain activity. Therefore, the analysis and classification of these signals play a prominent role in estimating a person’s behavior to certain events. Manually analyzing these signals is very tedious and time-consuming, so an automated scientific tool is required to analyze the brain signals. In this work, the authors are explored various pre-processing segmentation techniques that are helpful in an automatic machine and deep learning-based classification methods available for EEG signal processing. Most of the machine and deep learning methods are followed pre-processing as a common step in classification. Extraction of the basic sub-band components from EEG signals such as delta (δ), theta (θ), alpha (α), beta (β), and gamma (γ) is very important in the pre-processing stage. These sub bands of EEG signal have extraordinary evidence related to multiple neurophysiological processes, which are useful for further prediction & diagnosis of diseases and other emotion-based applications. This review paper elaborates various elementary ideas of extracting EEG sub-bands and the role of EEG in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) in the classification. <b> (Submitted To IEEE reviews in Biomedical Engineering)</b></div>
