Abstract:
The perception of color is an important cognitive feature of the human brain. The variety of colors that impinge upon the human eye can trigger changes in brain activity which can be captured using electroencephalography (EEG). In this work, we have designed a multiclass classification model to detect the primary colors from the features of raw EEG signals. In contrast to previous research, our me…

The perception of color is an important cognitive feature of the human brain. The variety of colors that impinge upon the human eye can trigger changes in brain activity which can be captured using electroencephalography (EEG). In this work, we have designed a multiclass classification model to detect the primary colors from the features of raw EEG signals. In contrast to previous research, our method employs spectral power features, statistical features as well as correlation features from the signal band power obtained from continuous Morlet wavelet transform instead of raw EEG, for the classification task. We have applied dimensionality reduction techniques such as Forward Feature Selection and Stacked Autoencoders to reduce the dimension of data eventually increasing the model's efficiency. Our proposed methodology using Forward Selection and Random Forest Classifier gave the best overall accuracy of 80.6\% for intra-subject classification. Our approach shows promise in developing techniques for cognitive tasks using color cues such as controlling Internet of Thing (IoT) devices by looking at primary colors for individuals with restricted motor abilities.
