A review of electroencephalogram signal processing methods for brain-controlled robots

Abstract

Brain-computer interface (BCI) based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals can provide a way for human to communicate with the outside world. This approach is independent of the body's peripheral nerves and muscle tissue. The brain-controlled robot is a new technology based on the brain-computer interface technology and the robot control technology. This technology allows the human brain to control a robot to perform a series of actions. The processing of EEG signals plays a vital role in the technology of brain-controlled robots. In this paper, the methods of EEG signal processing in recent years are summarized. In order to better develop the EEG signal processing methods in brain-controlled robots, this paper elaborate on three parts: EEG signal pre-processing, feature extraction and feature classification. At the same time, the correlation analysis methods and research contents are introduced. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods are analyzed and compared in this paper. Finally, this article looks forward to the EEG signal processing methods in the process of brain-controlled robots.
