Abstract

In the application of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), energy features are both physiologically well-founded and empirically effective to describe electroencephalogram (EEG) signals for classifying brain activities. Recently, a linear method named extreme energy ratio (EER) for energy feature extraction of EEG signals in terms of spatial filtering was proposed. This paper gives a nonlinear extension of the linear EER method. Specifically, we use the kernel trick to derive a kernelized version of the original EER feature extractor. The solutions for optimizing the criterion in kernel EER are provided for future use.
