Abstract

Non-stationarity of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals greatly affect classifier performance in brain-computer interface (BCI). To overcome this problem we propose an adaptive classifier model known as extended multi-class pooled mean linear discriminant analysis (EMPMLDA). Here, we update the average class pair co-variance matrix along with pooled mean values. Evaluation of classifiers are done on visual evoked cortical potential data-sets. We demonstrate that EMPMLDA can significantly outperform other static classifiers such as MLDA and adaptive classifiers (MPMLDA). Furthermore an optimal update coefficient can be achieved using different datasets.
