| Sumario: | Hybrid EEG-fNIRS brain-computer interface (HBCI) is widely employed to enhance BCI performance. EEG and fNIRS signals are combined to increase the dimensionality of the information. Time windows are used to select EEG and fNIRS singles synchronously. However, it ignores that specific modal signals have their own characteristics, when the task is stimulated, the information between the modalities will mismatch at the moment, which has a significant impact on the classification performance. Here we propose a novel crossing time windows optimization for mental arithmetic (MA) based BCI. The EEG and fNIRS signals were segmented separately by sliding time windows. Then crossing time windows (CTW) were combined with each one segment from EEG and fNIRS selected independently. Furthermore, EEG and fNIRS features were extracted using Filter Bank Common Spatial Pattern (FBCSP) and statistical methods from each sample. Mutual information was calculated for FBCSP and statistical features to characterize the discrimination of crossing time windows, and the optimal window would be selected based on the largest mutual information. Finally, a sparse structured framework of Fisher Lasso feature selection (FLFS) was designed to select the joint features, and conventional Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) was employed to perform classification. We used proposed method for a MA dataset. The classification accuracy of the proposed method is 92.52 ± 5.38% and higher than other methods, which shows the rationality and superiority of the proposed method. |
