Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Brain computer interfaces (BCIs) are rapidly gaining a lot of momentum within the biomedical engineer's sphere. The BCI is a link between the brain's electrical activity and a device that monitors actions and functions based on its input. In this paper, we have created a prediction algorithm for BCI systems that takes in EEG data (i.e., data classified based on actions) using machine learning (ML) techniques. Furthermore, EEG data is obtained and subsequently examined under specific conditions. This is necessary as the data would otherwise lack significance for computation. This is due to the fact that EEG data mostly consists of highly disordered electrical brain wave activity. In the analysis phase of this study, many Python libraries could be used ranging from the MNE library which is an essential tool used in EEG analysis to scikit which is used in many branches of ML. This project has a special emphasis on the use of Pandas for ML. The project's EEG data has been obtained from workers and interns of the Turkish government agency called scientific and technological research council of Türkiye (TÜBİTAK). While the data was being recorded, a special EEG recording software has been used that assigns condition inputs that attach them to the epoched time data.
