Using Noninvasive Neural Signal to Recognize Single- and Multi-task States of Operators

In this paper, we propose an electroencephalogram (EEG) signals-based method to recognize single- and multi-task states of users by using the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) algorithm and convolutional neural network (CNN). A novel experimental paradigm is designed to validate the proposed method. Experimental results from eight subjects show that the proposed methods perform well. Furthermore, the average accuracy of the recognition model based on CNN reaches 89.13% and is 5% higher than that based on the LDA algorithm. This work not only lays a foundation for the development of adaptive assistant systems based on brain-computer interfaces, but it also advances the study of human state monitoring and human-machine interaction based on EEG signals.
