作者:

Highlights:

• Multiobjective unsupervised feature selection with many decision variables is tackled.

• EEG signals for Brain–Computer Interface (BCI) applications are used as benchmarks.

• Cooperative evolutionary algorithms for multiobjective optimization are given.

• Parallel implementations obtain quality results in terms of hypervolume and speedup.

• Superlinear speedups are justified by adjusting models to experimental results.
