Development of Machine-Learning Algorithms for Recognition of Subjects' Upper Limb Movement Intention Using Electroencephalogram Signals.

This study aims to classify rest and upper limb movements execution and intention using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals by developing machine-learning (ML) algorithms. Five different MLs are implemented, including k-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Naïve Bayes (NB), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Random Forest (RF). The EEG data from fifteen healthy subjects during motor execution (ME) and motor imagination (MI) are preprocessed with Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to reduce eye-blinking associated artifacts.
