Self-paced BCI using multiple SWT-based classifiers

The presence of false activations inhibits the use of existing self-paced BCIs in real life applications. We present a new design method for a self-paced BCI that yielded 0% false activations using the data of two subjects. This system obtains templates/shapes of the movement related finger flexion patterns. To obtain the templates, the intentional control data are decomposed into 5 levels using the stationary wavelet transform. Then, ensemble averaging is done. These templates are used to train 5 radial basis function neural networks. This is followed by a majority voting classifier.
