Abstract
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) use Event-Related Potentials (ERPs)---which are measurable brain responses to different sensory or motor events---to translate neural activity into actionable features for communication and control. Inside these ERPs, the Readiness Potential (RP) is a very important biomarker to identify motor intentionality and movement preparation. However, extracting these fast neural markers from raw electroencephalographic (EEG) data requires a strong artifact suppression and advanced state-space tracking. This thesis investigates and tries to optimize the BCI pre-processing architecture of BVibes, a specialized signal processing toolbox developed at the University of Essex to which this project contributes. We aim to improve this toolbox by adding a Time-Varying Autoregressive (TVAR) Kalman smoother.
Rather than just applying existing algorithms one after the other, this work analyzes the actual mathematical interactions between frequency filtering, blind source separation, spatial filtering, and state-space estimation across different clinical datasets
