Mental Task Evaluation for Hybrid NIRS-EEG Brain-Computer Interfaces

Table 3

Top five features for the five best task pairs of each modality combination, using the average absolute values of the SVM weights as ranking metric. The models trained on the best performing one-second window were used (three to four seconds after stimulus onset for EEG-only and 11 to 12 seconds for NIRS-only and fusion of signals).
