Brain computer interface to recognize hand movements by magnification of subtle electroencephalogram patterns

Brain-computer interfacing facilitates usage of medical devices such as Electroencephalograms to study brain activities using signal processing techniques. Hand movements are motor activities which cause signature electrical signals in the electroencephalogram recordings. Signal processing and machine learning can be used to remove artefact contamination, amplify subtle features associated with hand movement and classify them. This paper experiments to utilize mathematical models to extract features and classify hand movement from electroencephalogram data up to 98% accuracy based on tests performed on an open-sourced dataset. The study, after further tests, can be used to build prosthetic limbs and mind-controlled robotic arms.
