Decoding EEG Signals to Detect and Classify Hand Movement

Creator:: McGrath, Patrick
Abstract:: Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals have recently gained attention to classify associated hand movement. This is particularly useful for amputees with prostatic hands or people who are unable to move their hands voluntarily. Among the decoding algorithms used to classify hand movements are support vector machines and multilayer perceptron networks. In this...
