Abstract

The electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is the key signal carrier of the brain-computer interface (BCI) system. The EEG data collected by the whole-brain electrode arrangement is conducive to obtaining higher information representation. Personalized electrode layout, while ensuring the accuracy of EEG signal decoding, can also shorten the calibration time of BCI and has become an important research direction. This paper reviews the EEG signal channel selection methods in recent years, conducts a comparative analysis of the combined effects of different channel selection methods and different classification algorithms, obtains the commonly used channel combinations in motor imagery, P300 and other paradigms in BCI, and explains the application scenarios of the channel selection method in different paradigms are discussed, in order to provide stronger support for a more accurate and portable BCI system.

脑电(EEG)信号是脑机接口(BCI)系统的关键信号载体。全脑电极排布采集的EEG数据有利于获得较高的信息表征。而个性化的电极布局,在保证EEG信号解码精度的基础上,亦能缩短BCI的校准时间,已成为一个重要的研究方向。本文梳理了近几年的EEG信号通道选择方法,对不同的通道选择方法与不同的分类算法的结合效果进行了比较分析,总结了BCI中运动想象、P300等范式中常用的通道组合,并阐述了通道选择方法在不同范式中的应用场景,以期为实现更精准和更便携的BCI系统提供较有力的支持。.
