Classification of EEG Signals Utilizing DWT for Feature Extraction and
Evolutionary Algorithms for Feature Selection
Abstract
This paper introduces an EEG signal classification approach, leveraging
machine learning algorithms. The methodology involves the extraction of
features from EEG signal datasets through discrete wavelet transform
(DWT). Optimal feature selection is then accomplished using evolutionary
algorithms, specifically Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm
Optimization (PSO). To identify the most effective classification
method, various machine learning algorithms, including Support Vector
Machines (SVM), Naive Bayes, Decision Trees, and Random Forest, are
systematically compared. This comprehensive evaluation aims to enhance
the accuracy and efficiency of EEG signal classification for improved
diagnosis and understanding of neurological conditions.
