Abstract
Brain Computer Interface (BCI) systems enable subjects affected by neuromuscular disorders to interact with the outside world. A P300 speller uses Event Related Potential (ERP) components, generated in the brain in the presence of a target
stimulus, to extract information about the user’s intent. Several methods have been proposed for spatial filtering and classification of the P300 components. In this study, xDAWN algorithm, Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) methods are used and evaluated based on the classification performance of two different classifiers, namely the Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Fisher’s Linear Discriminant Analysis (FLDA). In addition, it is shown that the incorporation of some prior knowledge regarding the location of P300 elicitation on the scalp can reduce the computational load while maintaining or even improving the classification performance.
