An approach to EEG-based gender recognition using entropy measurement methods

作者:

Highlights:

• It was possible to use EEG signals for gender recognition. The highest recognition rate in this study was up to 0.998 based on a combination of FE feature and vote method, which could meet the needs of daily applications.

• The effect of the bagging ensemble method depended on the selection of the base classifiers and number of base classifiers.

• The GBDT method could obviously improve the performance of the detector.

• The vote classifier improved performance significantly.
