Wavelet algorithm for the identification of P300 ERP component

Abstract

Brain-computer interfaces have many algorithms based on the P300 component of ERP. Modern industry has started to produce consumer grade EEG equipment which is handy and not too expensive. This gives us an opportunity to use BCI in everyday practice. In order to improve the performance of these devices, we need effective algorithms for time series analysis and pattern recognition. We have tested Emotiv Insight headset in a real live environment and we have conducted several tests for series of standard wavelets in P300 pattern recognition task.
