Abstract
Electroencephalogram (EEG) has been a popular technique for brain-computer interface (BCI) and brain decoding studies. However, decoding perceptual information (e.g. images and sound) is only recently being considered. In this work, we make an attempt to experimentally analyze and address the task of classification of images that a person sees, based on the captured EEG during the visual task. For this work, we used a publicly available dataset and, as a part of our analysis, find some important concerns associated with that dataset, which also highlights challenges in EEG based image classification. After we process the data to address these concerns, we show that there may still be some discriminative traits in the EEG data for classifying a small number of classes.
