An EEG feature detection system using the neural networks based on genetic algorithms
It is often known that an EEG has a personal characteristic. However, there are no researches to achieve the consideration of the personal characteristic. Then, the analyzed frequency components of the EEG have that the frequency components in which characteristics are contained significantly, and that not. Moreover, these combinations have the human equation. We think that these combinations are the personal characteristics frequency components of the EEG. In this paper, the EEG analysis method by using the GA, the FA and the NN is proposed. The GA is used for selecting the personal characteristics frequency components. The FA is used for extracting the characteristic data of the EEG. The NN is used for estimating extracted the characteristics data of the EEG. Finally, in order to show the effectiveness of the proposed method, EEG pattern was classified using computer simulations. The EEG pattern has 4 conditions, which are listening to rock music, Schmaltzy Japanese ballad music, healing music and classical music. The result, in the case of not using the personal characteristics frequency components, gave over 95% accuracy. This result of our experiment shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.
