Color-based classification of EEG Signals for people with the severe locomotive disorder

Ankit Shrestha, Bikram Adhikari

The neurons in the brain produces electric signals and a collective firing of these electric signals gives rise to brainwaves. These brainwave signals are captured using EEG (Electroencephalogram) devices as micro voltages. These sequence of signals captured by EEG sensors have embedded features in them that can be used for classification. The signals can be used as an alternative input for people suffering from severe locomotive disorder.Classification of different colors can be mapped for many functions like directional movement. In this paper, raw EEG signals from NeuroSky Mindwave headset (a single electrode EEG sensor) have been classified with an attention based Deep Learning Network. Attention based LSTM Networks have been implemented for classification of two different colors and four different colors. An accuracy of 93.5\% was obtained for classification of two colors and an accuracy of 65.75\% was obtained for classifcation of four signals using the mentioned attention based LSTM network.
