Abstract :
We review different techniques for extracting the power information contained in frequency bands in the context of electroencephalography (EEG) based Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI). In this domain it is common to apply only one algorithm for extracting the power information. However previous work and our current study confirm that one may indeed expect varying degrees of success by choosing inadequate algorithms for the power extraction. Our results suggest that on average one algorithm seems superior for extracting the power information for Motor Imagery tasks : the application of a Morlet wavelet on the raw EEG signals, with the time-frequency resolution tradeoff selected by cross-validation.
