17. 5. EEG Based Brain Computer Interface [5]
- Test with 1 hidden layer-50 neurons, 1 hidden
layer-100 neurons, 2 hidden layers-50 neurons
and 2 hidden layers-100 neurons Neural
Network.
- Left movement with eyes closed, Right
movement with eyes closed and Left movement
with eyes open are example patterns

20. Figure 10 Planning for Left movement with eyes closed [5]

21. Conclusion
-
Movement can easily be identified and observed by EEG.
-
Analytical thought process is still almost impossible
to classify, since emotions can’t be predicted via
scalp EEG.
- The more the number of neurons or layers the better the
classification is but at cost of memory and processing power.
