Typing Using Brain Signals
Wagner, Lukáš ; Malinka, Kamil (referee) ; Tinka, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor thesis focusses on the implementation of a brain-computer interface, programmed in Python language, that would enable to communicate using EEG. The thesis investigates and evaluates existing brain-computer interface technologies for this purpose. The thesis also explores the use of machine learning applied to the technology, in particular neural networks, which have proven to be one of the most accurate methods of EEG signal processing. Following that, 3 different systems are proposed and implemented, each on different paradigm of visually evoking EEG potential changes. These systems were tested with different signal classification approaches. Unfortunately, none of the systems proved to be useful in communication.

Data Analysis and Clasification from the Brain Activity Detector
Persich, Alexandr ; Grézl, František (referee) ; Szőke, Igor (advisor)
This thesis describes recording, processing and classifying brain activity which is being captured by a brain-computer interface (BCI) device manufactured by OpenBCI company. Possibility of use of such a device for controlling an application with brain activity, specifically with thinking of left or right hand movement, is discussed. To solve this task methods of signal processing and machine learning are used. As a result a program that is capable of recording, processing and classifying brain activity using an artificial neural network is created. An average accuracy of classification of synthetic data is 99.156%. An average accuracy of classification of real data is 73.71%.

Wheelchair control using EEG signal classification
Malý, Lukáš ; Sadovský, Petr (referee) ; Žalud, Luděk (advisor)
Tato diplomová práce představuje koncept elektrického invalidního vozíku ovládaného lidskou myslí. Tento koncept je určen pro osoby, které elektrický invalidní vozík nemohou ovládat klasickými způsoby, jakým je například joystick. V práci jsou popsány čtyři hlavní komponenty konceptu: elektroencefalograf, brain-computer interface (rozhraní mozek-počítač), systém sdílené kontroly a samotný elektrický invalidní vozík. V textu je představena použitá metodologie a výsledky provedených experimentů. V závěru jsou nastíněna doporučení pro budoucí vývoj.

Person Identification and Verification Using EEG
Žitný, Roland ; Orság, Filip (referee) ; Tinka, Jan (advisor)
The aim of this work was to create a brain-computer interface that reliably identifies and verifies a person using his electroencephalographic signals. Creating a user profile and verifying it is based on processing reactions to his own face, and the face of strangers or acquaintances. Algorithms such as bandpass and noise removal using wavelet transformation are user to filter signals. The classification of reactions is performed using a convolutional neural network or linear discriminant analysis. The average accuracy of the linear discriminant analysis is 66.2 % and of the convolutional neural network is 58.7 %. The maximum achieved accuracy was with linear discriminant analysis and at 93.7 %.

Controlling a Virtual Robot Using a Hybrid Brain-Computer Interface with Visual and Auditory Cues
Prášil, Matěj ; Hrubý, Martin (referee) ; Tinka, Jan (advisor)
This work deals with the control of a virtual robot using a hybrid interface between the brain and a computer in response to visual and auditory evoked potentials, EEG signal analysis and processing. OpenBCI hardware is used for scanning. I studied the methods needed for signal processing and designed applications. The output is two applications, one for controlling a virtual robot and the other for signal processing and classification. The average accuracy of signal classification on real data is low, only 22.35%

Data Analysis and Clasification from the Brain Activity Detector
Jileček, Jan ; Černocký, Jan (referee) ; Szőke, Igor (advisor)
This thesis aims to implement methods for recording EEG data obtained with the neural activity sensor OpenBCI Ultracortex IV headset. It also describes neurofeedback, methods of obtaining data from the motor cortex for further analysis and takes a look at the machine learning algorithms best suited for the presented problem. Multiple training and testing datasets are created, as well as a tool for recording the brain activity of a headset-wearing test subject, which is being visually presented with cognitive challenges on the screen in front of him. A neurofeedback demo app has been developed, presented and later used for calibration of new test subjects. Next part is data analysis, which aims to discriminate the left and right hand movement intention signatures in the brain motor cortex. Multiple classification methods are used and their utility reviewed.

Virtual Robot Control Using EEG
Drla, Michal ; Goldmann, Tomáš (referee) ; Tinka, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor thesis aimed to create an application where is user able to control the virtual robot with an EEG signal. The thesis contains a brief introduction that explains how BCI systems which are using EEG work. This introduction not only explains the basics of EEG analysis but also explains brain biology and shows different signals which are extractable from the brain. This thesis also explains the theory of neural networks which are used to implement the analysis. In implementation are shown scripts that were used to collect data and there is also shown the design of the neural network. Results of testing are good, the neural network was making correct decisions and the user was able to control the virtual robot.

EEG Biofeedback Human Brain - Computer Interface
Kněžík, Jan ; Kořenek, Jan (referee) ; Marušinec, Jaromír (advisor)
This master thesis dwells on EEGbiofeedback (also called Neurofeedback) interface of human brain and the computer and its concrete realization in Java programming language. This system is founded on the basis of the computer, which is accomplishing biological feedback (biofeedback) and the electroencephalography (EEG) by helping that state's scanning of user's brain is realized. By this way is possible to practise the human brain effectively to achieve better concentration, the elimination of sleeping and learning deficiency. Hereafter is the suggestion of direction control of computer mouse by EEG device incorporated, which makes it possible for the man to regulate the direction of the cursor's movement on the screen by the frequency of brain's oscillation. The motivation for solution of this problem is the effort to help to handicapped people to communicate with surrounding world. The introduction of this paper contains the basic facts about human brain, electroencephalography and EEG biofeedback. The following chapters dwell on the specification of claims to developed application, its suggestion and description of actual realization. The final part relates to the BCI (Brain-Computer Interface) systems and suggestion of computer's control by EEGappliance with evaluation of attained results.

Assessment of Independent EEG Components Obtained by Different Methods for BCI Based on Motor Imagery
Húsek, Dušan ; Frolov, A. A. ; Kerechanin, J. V. ; Bobrov, P.D.
Eight methods of decomposition of a multichannel EEG signal are compared in terms of their ability to identify the most physiologically significant components. The criterion for the meaningfulness of a method is its ability to reduce mutual information between components; to create components that can be attributed to the activity of dipoles located in the cerebral cortex; find components that are provided by other methods and for this case; and at the same time, these components should most contribute to the accuracy of the BCI based on imaginary movement. Independent component analysis methods AMICA, RUNICA and FASTICA outperform others in the first three criteria and are second only to the Common Spatial Patterns method in the fourth criterion. The components created by all methods for 386 experimental sessions of 27 subjects were combined into more than 100 clusters containing more than 10 elements. Additionally, the components of the 12 largest clusters were analyzed. They have proven to be of great importance in controlling BCI, their origins can be modeled using dipoles in the brain, and they have been detected by several degradation methods. Five of the 12 selected components have been identified and described in our previous articles. Even if the physiological and functional origins of the rest of identified components’ are to be the subject of further research, we have shown that their physiological nature is at least highly probable.\n
