MLSP Competition, 2010: Description of third place method.

The MLSP competition (2010) purpose is to design a pattern recognition system for “mind reading”. This paper is a study of the EEG competition dataset and the crafting of the third place winning method. It shortly presents our signal processing methods for feature extraction, and channel selection. We accurately tuned all the parameters of these preprocessing stage before feeding a Gaussian SVM classifier. Without using any complex signal processing techniques nor strong neuroscience prior knowledge, we were able to build to a simple and fast agnostic classifier which achieves good performances.
