ABSTRACT:
A method for classifying brain states in electroencephalograph (EEG) signals comprising building a classifier model and classifying brain states using the classifier model is described. Brain states are determined. Labeled EEG data is collected and divided into overlapping time windows. The time dimension is removed from each time window. Features are generated by computing the base features; combining the base features to form a larger feature set; pruning the large feature set; and further pruning the feature set for a particular machine learning technique. Brain states in unlabeled EEG data are classified using the classifier model by dividing the unlabeled EEG data into overlapping time windows and removing the time dimension from each time window. Features required by the classifier model are generated. Artifacts in the labeled and unlabeled EEG data comprise cognitive artifacts and non-cognitive artifacts.
