Abstract

Analyzing EEG signals can help us make implications about the user’s activities or even thoughts which can result in a myriad of applications. However, clinical EEG monitoring tools are expensive, often immobile and in need of professional supervision. Lately a couple of companies started the production of relatively cheap, easy-to-use, and mobile devices with significantly lower accuracy. In this paper, we intend to investigate the usability of these devices in recognizing selected basic activities e.g., winking, raising a hand etc., showing preliminary results on how clustering can prove to be an efficient method in labeling a low-quality EEG data set so that it could be used in supervised learning scenarios.
