Abstract :
The paper is a feasibility analysis of using the recently introduced by one of the authors spiking neural networks architecture NeuCube for modelling and recognition of complex EEG spatio-temporal data related to both physical and intentional (imagined) movements. The preliminary experiments reported in the paper suggest that NeuCube is much more efficient for the task than standard machine learning techniques, resulting in high recognition accuracy, a better adaptability to new data, a better interpretation of the models, leading to a better understanding of the brain data and the processes that generated it.
