Abstract
The Common Spatial Pattern (CSP) algorithm is capable of solving the binary classification problem for the motor image task brain-computer interface (BCI). This paper proposes a novel method based on the Filter Bank Common Spatial Pattern (FBCSP) termed the Multiscale and Overlapping FBCSP (MO-FBCSP). We extend the CSP algorithm for multiclass by using the one-versus-one (OvO) strategy. Multiple periods are selected and combined with the overlapping spectrum of the filter bank which contains useful information. This method is evaluated on the benchmark BCI Competition IV dataset 2a with 9 subjects. An average accuracy of 80% was achieved with the random forest (RF) classifier, and the corresponding kappa value was 0.734. Quantitative results have shown that the proposed scheme outperforms the classical FBCSP algorithm by over 12%.
