Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the accuracy of linear classification techniques for a P300 Brain-Computer Interface used in a typing paradigm. Fisher’s Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Bayesian Linear Discriminant Analysis (BLDA), Stepwise Linear Discriminant Analysis (SLDA), linear Support Vector Machine (SVM) and a method based on Feature Extraction (FE) were compared. Experiments were performed on patients suffering from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH), in on-line and off-line mode. Our results show that BLDA yields a significantly higher accuracy than the other linear techniques we have compared, at least for our group of subjects.
