Abstract

Genetic Algorithms (GAs) were used in a previous study to automate parameter selection for an EEG-based P300-driven Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). The GA approach showed marked improvement over data-insensitive parameter selection; however, it required lengthy execution times thereby rendering it infeasible for online implementation. Automated parameter selection is retained in this work; however, it is achieved using the less computationally intensive N-fold cross-validation (NFCV). Additionally, this study sought to improve BCI classification accuracy using a training data collection and application protocol that the authors refer to as 'Intra-session classifier training and implementation'. Intra-session classifier training and implementation using NFCV-driven automated parameter selection yielded a classification accuracy of 82.94% compared to 45.44% for the inter-session approach using datainsensitive parameters. These findings are significant impact since the intrasession protocol can be applied to any P300-based BCI regardless of its application platform to obtain improved classification accuracy.
