Comparative Study of Linear and Nonlinear Features Used in Imagined Vowels Classification Using a Backpropagation Neural Network Classifier

Published: 21 January 2017 Publication History

Abstract

Imagined speech recognition is an alternative means to aid individuals with motor disabilities, illnesses and speech disorders, such as the mute and those under the state of coma, to communicate properly through silent communication. Imagined speech or unspoken speech is speech that is only uttered within the mind without the use of any muscle movement. In this study, the proponents compared the effects of linear and nonlinear features in an imagined speech classification model. This model was designed to classify the five vowels namely /a/ /e/ /i/ /o/ and /u/. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals were measured in each study volunteers while they were imagining the different vowels. Linear and nonlinear features were extracted from the processed EEG signals, and these features were used as inputs to an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) classifier.
