Brain-Computer Interface Analysis using Continuous Wavelet Transform and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Classifier

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals of imaginary left and right hand movements, an application of brain-computer interface (BCI). We propose here to use an adaptive neuron- fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) as the classification algorithm. ANFIS has an advantage over many classification algorithms in that it provides a set of parameters and linguistic rules that can be useful in interpreting the relationship between extracted features. The continuous wavelet transform will be used to extract highly representative features from selected scales. The performance of ANFIS will be compared with the well-known support vector machine classifier.
