Abstract
This paper presents classification methods for electroencephalography (EEG) signals in imagination of direction measured by a portable EEG headset. In the authors’ previous studies, principal component analysis extracted significant features from EEG signals to construct neural network classifiers. To improve the performance, the authors have implemented a Stacked Autoencoder (SAE) for the classification. The SAE carries out feature extraction and classification in a form of multi-layered neural network. Experimental results showed that the SAE outperformed the previous classifiers.
