Abstract: Brain-computer interface (BCI) is the most popular research topic to the researchers of neuroprosthetics. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop a communication channel between human brains and external devices. Feature extraction is one of the most crucial steps in this research. Combination of different features may improve the classification performance, but in most of the cases straight forward combinations of different features lead to a very poor result. So, it is necessary to combine the orthogonal features and omit the redundant ones. It is a complex and time-consuming process. We have developed two new algorithms to find optimum sets of features for fusion to obtain best possible classification accuracy for both subject-specific (SS) and subject-independent (SI) cases. Experimental results indicate that our proposed algorithms, in general, improve the classification results irrespective of the different methodological setup of BCI processes such as number of input channels and spatial filter.
