A Novel Convolutional Neural Network Classification Approach of Motor-Imagery EEG Recording Based on Deep Learning

Recently, Electroencephalography (EEG) motor imagery (MI) signals have received increasing attention because it became possible to use these signals to encode a person’s intention to perform an action. Researchers have used MI signals to help people with partial or total paralysis, control devices s...
