MOTOR IMAGERY SIGNAL CLASSIFICATION FOR BRAIN-COMPUTER INTERFACE USING RideNN WITH HOLO-ENTROPY FEATURES

The brain-computer interface (BCI) database's motor assessment depends heavily on the motor imagery (MI) signal classification. By examining the multiple patterns of different creative tasks in the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, the intention of humans is translated into computer-based commands in the MI-based signals of BCI data. Nevertheless, low accuracy and efficiency are issues with MI-EEG signals' classification because of the low signal-to-noise ratio, huge individual differences, overall volatility, and complexity in the signal. To overcome these problems, this research proposes a rider optimization algorithm-based neural network (ROA-based NN) to classify the MI signals effectively. Pre-processing is done after collecting the dataset of raw EEG signals. The suitable electrodes, such as C3, C4, and Cz, are subsequently chosen from the MI signals. Using the holo-entropy-based WPD feature extractor, tunable Q-factor wavelet transform (T-QWT), and common spatial patterns in the model, the pertinent features are extracted from the chosen electrodes. The developed holo-entropy-based WPD feature examines the electrode structure's association. As a result, the most diverse signals are removed from the chosen electrodes before being input into the proposed RideNN classifier, where the proposed ride optimization algorithm optimizes classification performance and correctly predicts and classes the output from the MI signals that have been analyzed. The developed RideNN classifier recognizes the patterns more accurately processes more data and tackles the noise and incomplete data effectively. Utilizing the parameters of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, the results are evaluated. The PROA-based RideNN and the combined features obtain the maximum accuracy of 92.24%, sensitivity of 92.26%, and specificity of 92.14% for the BCI competition-IV 2a database. The qPROA-based RideNN and the combined features obtain the maximum accuracy of 92.11%, sensitivity of 91.98%, and specificity of 92.35% for the BCI competition-IV 2b database.
