Abstract

Brain wave signals allow communication between user and computer in a system called Brain-Computer Interface. Signal processing can detect attention, engagement, and errors in a task. Error-Related Potentials (ErrP) can be extracted from brain signals with noise, however, it is quite complicated to be recognized and accurate. This paper presents a new database, using gaming and a humanoid robot to induce the occurrence of user errors and methods to extract signal features. A Haar wavelet was used to feature extraction, and a MultiLayer Perceptron (MLP) and a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to signal classification. Several experiments are presented demonstrating that wavelet extraction outperformed Fourier transform to extract the error and MLP performed a consistent accuracy.
