【 摘 要 】

In this paper, we are proposing a method to predict cognitive tasks performed by the human brain using spectral analysis of electrical signals extracted from the scalp of the brain.These electrical signals, which are generated by the synapses and neurons in the brain, are also known as Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals.The EEG signals are analysed using autoregressive spectral analysis, a type of modern parametric spectral analysis method, which comparatively yield better power spectrum over the classical Fourier methods.Power spectral densities of the EEG signals are used to train a Fuzzy ARTMAP network to predict the respective cognitive tasks.In our experimental study, we have analysed 3 subjects performing 2 different cognitive tasks and our average results of 72.22% to 93.05% for each subject show that it is highly possible to predict cognitive tasks based on EEG signals.This can be used as a mode of communication or wheelchair control for paralysed patients and also in EEG biofeedback systems.
