Abstract: When designing multiclass motor imagery-based brain–computer interface (MI-BCI), a so-called tangent space mapping (TSM) method utilizing the geometric structure of covariance matrices is an effective technique. This talk aims to introduce a method using TSM for finding accurate operational frequency bands related brain activities associated with MI tasks. A multichannel electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is decomposed into multiple subbands, and tangent features are then estimated on each subband. A mutual information ****ysis-based effective algorithm is implemented to select subbands containing features capable of improving motor imagery classification accuracy. Thus obtained features of selected subbands are combined to get feature space. A principal component ****ysis-based approach is employed to reduce the features dimension and then the classification is accomplished by a support vector machine (SVM). Offline ****ysis demonstrates the proposed multiband tangent space mapping with subband selection (MTSMS) approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods.
