Modern non-invasive BCIs rely on EEG signals and machine learning techniques for interpretation, but challenges of robustness, real-time processing, and nonstationarity persist. This thesis investigates feature manipulation—encompassing extraction, selection, and dimensionality reduction—as a strategy to address these issues. Two applications are explored: Augmented Cognition (AugCog) and single-trial Event-Related Potential (ERP) detection. For AugCog, novel linear and nonlinear feature selection methods using Mutual Information and a statistical similarity-based extraction approach are developed. For ERP detection, comparative analyses of feature techniques across time, frequency, and spatial domains are presented. Experimental results demonstrate improved BCI performance over baseline systems, and guidelines for selecting appropriate methods based on data structure are provided. 000000704 540__ $$fCC BY 000000704 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000704 650__ $$aBrain-Computer Interfaces$$040031 000000704 650__ $$aEvoked Potentials$$018758 000000704 650__ $$aMachine Learning$$011449 000000704 650__ $$aCognition$$016868 000000704 650__ $$aUser-Computer Interface$$027668 000000704 650__ $$aArtificial Intelligence$$015109 000000704 650__ $$aElectroencephalography$$018287 000000704 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000704 692__ $$aDepartment of Biomedical Engineering$$041397 000000704 7001_ $$aLan, Tian$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000704 7201_ $$avan Santen, Jan$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000704 7201_ $$aErdogmus, Deniz$$uNortheastern University$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000000704 8564_ $$95570f075-43c5-409d-ab2c-ddee43e825a8$$s911238$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/704/files/706_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$23a3ef710bd2039107f3603a5a3b6b592$$31 000000704 905__ $$a/rest/prod/np/19/39/24/np193924b 000000704 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:704$$pstudent-work 000000704 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000704 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
