The Classification of Wink-Based EEG Signals: The Identification of Significant Time-Domain Features

Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) has become popular with physically challenged individuals, particularly in enhancing their activities of daily living. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are used to control BCI-based devices. Nonetheless, it is worth noting that the use of a multitude of features may...
