A Novel Design of 4-Class BCI Using Two Binary Classifiers and Parallel Mental Tasks

Table 1

The mental tasks and corresponding class labels of the binary left/right BCI and the 4-class whole system in paradigm A and B. Note that the class label of left/right BCI corresponds to the movement of the left/right side of the body. For example, in paradigm A, positive output (+) of the left BCI indicates the left-hand movement. The subject is instructed to execute or imagine the movements at both sides of his body simultaneously. The left/right BCI only classifies the two kinds of movements of the left/right side at the subject body.
(a) Paradigm A


(b) Paradigm B
