Abstract

This paper proposes a novel evolutionary approach
to the optimal selection of electrodes as well as relevant EEG features for effective classification of cognitive tasks. The problem has been formulated in the framework of a single objective optimization problem with an aim to simultaneously satisfying three criteria. The first criterion deals with maximization of the correlation between the features of EEG sources before and after the selection of optimal electrodes. The
second criterion is concerned with minimization of the mutual information between the features of the selected EEG electrodes. The last criterion aims at maximization of the ratio of the difference between the selected features of the EEG sources between and within any two cognitive tasks. A self-adaptive variant of FA (referred to as SAFA) is proposed to solve the above optimization problem by proficiently balancing the tradeoff between the computational accuracy and the run-time complexity. Experiments undertaken over wide variety of cognitive tasks reveal that the proposed algorithm outperforms the other standard algorithms (applied to the same problem) in terms of accuracy and computational overhead.
