This paper presents a novel method, based on multi-channel Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), of classifying the electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings of imagined movement by a subject within a brain-computer interfacing (BCI) framework. EMD is a technique that divides any non-linear or non-stationary signal into groups of frequency harmonics, called Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs). As frequency is a key component of both IMFs and the μ rhythm (8-13 Hz brain activity generated during motor imagery), IMFs are then grouped by frequency. EMD is applied to the recordings from two electrodes for each trial and the resulting IMFs are grouped according to peak-frequency band via Hierarchical Clustering Analysis (HCA). The cluster containing the frequency band of the μ rhythm (8-13 Hz) is then selected and the sum-total of the IMFs from each electrode are summed together. A simple linear classifier is then sufficient to classify the motor-imagery with 89% sensitivity from a separate test set.
