Brain computer interface translates electroencephalogram (EEG) signals into control commands so that paralyzed people can control assistive devices. This human thought translation is a very challenging process as EEG signals contain noise. For noise removal, a bandpass filter or a filter bank is used. However, these techniques also remove useful information from the signal. Furthermore, after feature extraction, there are such features which do not play any significant role in effective classification. Thus, soft computing-based EEG classification followed by extraction and then selection of optimal features can produce better results. In this paper, subband common spatial patterns using sequential backward floating selection is being proposed in order to classify motor-imagery-based EEG signals. The signal is decomposed into subband using a filter bank having overlapped frequency cutoffs. Linear discriminant analysis followed by common spatial pattern is applied to the output of each filter for features extraction. Then, sequential backward floating selection is applied for selection of optimal features to train radial basis function neural networks. Two different datasets have been used for evaluation of results, i.e., Open BCI dataset and EEG signals acquired by Emotiv Epoc. The proposed system shows an overall accuracy of 93.05% and 85.00% for both datasets, respectively. The results show that the proposed optimal feature selection and neural network-based classification approach with overlapped frequency bands is an effective method for EEG classification as compared to previous techniques.
