Time Series Signal Analysis With Information Granulation Based on Permutation Entropy: An Application to Electroencephalography Signals

In this article, we reported a novel granulation method composed of complexity information based on permutation entropy (PeEn). This method aims to recognize the electroencephalography (EEG) patterns using this proposed granulation method. First, we define the complexity information for granular computing by a technique with fast calculation, i.e., PeEn. Then, the information granule can be constructed based on the time domain information, which completes complexity information. Together with the support vector machine algorithm, the proposed granulation method outperformed the existing classification methods in accuracy. It is utilized by classifying three motor imaginary EEG signals. Two of them are binary-class datasets, i.e., one dataset includes two-hand actions, and another includes hand and foot actions. The third dataset is multiclass, including two hands and two feet actions. In addition, the proposed granulation method overcomes the difficulties in cross-individual cases when classifying the EEG signals with a higher accuracy than the existing methods. Meanwhile, this classification procedure makes it interpretable and has a high performance.
