EEG Self-Adjusting Data Analysis Based on Optimized Sampling for Robot Control

摘要

Research on electroencephalography (EEG) signals and their data analysis have drawn much attention in recent years. Data mining techniques have been extensively applied as efficient solutions for non-invasive brain–computer interface (BCI) research. Previous research has indicated that human brains produce recognizable EEG signals associated with specific activities. This paper proposes an optimized data sampling model to identify the status of the human brain and further discover brain activity patterns. The sampling methods used in the proposed model include the segmented EEG graph using piecewise linear approximation (SEGPA) method, which incorporates optimized data sampling methods; and the EEG-based weighted network for EEG data analysis, which can be used for machinery control. The data sampling and segmentation techniques combine normal distribution approximation (NDA), Poisson distribution approximation (PDA), and related sampling methods. This research also proposes an efficient method for recognizing human thinking and brain signals with entropy-based frequent patterns (FPs). The obtained recognition system provides a foundation that could to be useful in machinery or robot control. The experimental results indicate that the NDA–PDA segments with less than 10% of the original data size can achieve 98% accuracy, as compared with original data sets. The FP method identifies more than 12 common patterns for EEG data analysis based on the optimized sampling methods.
