Signal Processing for Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Using Continuous Wavelet Transform

Resource Overview

Applying Continuous Wavelet Transform to BCI signal processing, followed by neural network classification including implementations using BP networks and LVQ networks with code-oriented algorithm descriptions.

Detailed Documentation

Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) is applied to process Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) signals before feeding them into neural networks for classification. For neural network implementation, different algorithms such as Backpropagation (BP) networks and Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) networks can be employed. The CWT implementation typically involves time-frequency analysis using wavelet functions like Morlet or Mexican Hat wavelets to extract time-localized frequency components. BP networks utilize gradient descent optimization with chain rule derivatives for weight updates, while LVQ employs competitive learning through prototype vector adjustments based on distance metrics. Both approaches require careful parameter tuning including learning rates, network architecture, and wavelet scale selection for optimal feature extraction.
