Abstract

The Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) system empowers users to communicate with their environment solely through intent, eliminating the need for muscle reactions. However, Electroencephalography (EEG) datasets are typically small and complex due to cumbersome recording processes. This research aims to provide communication capabilities to individuals with complete paralysis, brain stroke disorders, or those who rely on wheelchairs. EEG signal acquisition often includes common artifacts, introducing noise. To tackle these challenges, this study employs Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and various deep learning algorithms within the BCI system. The dataset is sourced from BCI competition III, featuring signals related to the imagined movement of the tongue and the left small finger, from 278 instances. The research introduces a classification method that involves extracting essential components using ICA and experimenting with diverse deep learning architectures to identify the most effective model. The novelty of this research lies in the process of identifying critical components and integrating them into the deep learning network. A comparative analysis is conducted to contrast classification outcomes with and without dimensionality reduction through ICA. Different deep learning models, including Long Short-Term Memory, Gated Recurrent Unit, and Convolutional Neural Network, are employed to enhance EEG signal processing and classification accuracy compared to traditional classification methods. Experimental results indicate that the Convolutional Neural Network combined with ICA achieves the highest accuracy at 89% with the decrease in hidden layers.
