This paper proposes a novel Takagi-Sugeno-Kang-type (TSK-type) neuro-fuzzy system (NFS), which utilizes the artificial bee colony (ABC) evolutionary algorithm for parameter optimization. The ABC evolutionary algorithm was developed based on imitating foraging behavior of natural bees for numerical optimization problems, and it has been proved to outperform other metaheuristic approaches on different constrain optimization problems in previous studies. The proposed NFS in this paper adopts an adaptive clustering method to generate fuzzy rules for determining the system architecture, and the TSK-type reasoning is employed for the consequent part of each rule. Subsequently, all free parameters in the NFS designed, including the premise and the consequent parameters, will be optimized by ABC algorithm. This study compares the performance of ABC algorithm with that of Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Evolution (DE). The simulation results show that the performance of ABC algorithm is superior to that of the mentioned algorithms for solving dynamic system problems.

In this study, we develop a novel multi-fusion brain-computer interface (BCI) system based on a fuzzy neural network (FNN) and information fusion approaches to cope with a classification task for identifying right/left hand motor imagery. In the proposed system, we utilize a filter bank and sub-band common spatial pattern (SBCSP) to extract features from raw EEG data. A self-organizing neural fuzzy inference network (SONFIN) is then applied for a recognition task. In order to improve the classification performance, we form a committee of networks and employ fuzzy integral (FI) to attain a joint decision. To further optimize the fusion approaches, a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is exploited to globally update parameters used in the fusion stage. In consequence, our experimental result shows that the proposed fuzzy fusion system possesses superior performance compared to other comparative models.

This study proposes an EEG-based forecasting system based on a functional-link recurrent self-evolving fuzzy neural network (FL-RSEFNN) for assessing mental fatigue during a highway driving task. Drivers\' cognitive states significantly affect driving safety, especially for fatigue or drowsy driving which is one of common factors to endanger individuals and the public safety. In this study, a FL-RSEFNN employs an on-line gradient descent (GD) learning rule to address the EEG regression problem in brain dynamics for estimation of driving fatigue. We analyze brain dynamics in a car driving task, which is constructed in a simulated virtual reality (VR) environment. The EEG-based forecasting system is evaluated using the generalized cross-subject approach, and the results indicate that the FL-RSEFNN is superior to state-of-the-art models regardless of the use of recurrent or non-recurrent structures.

In this paper, we develop a novel multi-fusion brain-computer interface (BCI) based on linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to deal with motor imagery (MI) classification problem. We combine filter bank and sub-band common spatial pattern (SBCSP) to extract features from EEG data in the preprocessing phase, and then LDA classifiers are applied to classify brain activities to identify either left or right hand imagery. To further foster the performance of the proposed system, a fuzzy integral (FI) approach is employed to fuse information sources, and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is exploited to globally update parameters in the fusion structure. Consequently, our experimental results indicate that the proposed system provides superior performance compared to other approaches.

A brain-computer interface (BCI) system using electroencephalography signals provides a convenient means of communication between the human brain and a computer. Motor imagery (MI), in which motor actions are mentally rehearsed without engaging in actual physical execution, has been widely used as a major BCI approach. One robust algorithm that can successfully cope with the individual differences in MI-related rhythmic patterns is to create diverse ensemble classifiers using the subband common spatial pattern (SBCSP) method. To aggregate outputs of ensemble members, this study uses fuzzy integral with particle swarm optimization (PSO), which can regulate subject-specific parameters for the assignment of optimal confidence levels for classifiers. The proposed system combining SBCSP, fuzzy integral, and PSO exhibits robust performance for offline single-trial classification of MI and real-time control of a robotic arm using MI. This paper represents the first attempt to utilize fuzzy fusion technique to attack the individual differences problem of MI applications in real-world noisy environments. The results of this study demonstrate the practical feasibility of implementing the proposed method for real-world applications.
