Abstract: The features extraction is the main step in a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) design. Its goal is to create features easy to be interpreted in order to produce the most accurate control commands. For this end, these features must include all the original signal characteristics. The generated brain's signals' non-stationary and nonlinearity constitute a limitation to the improvement of the performances of systems based on traditional signal processing such as Fourier Transform. This work deals with the comparison of features extraction between Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) and Welch's method for Power Spectral Density estimation (PSD) then on the creation of an adaptive method combining the two. The parameters optimization of each method is firstly performed to reach the best classification accuracy rate. The study shows that the PSD estimation is sensitive to the parametric variation whereas the HHT method is mainly robust. The classification results show that an adaptive joint method can reach 90% of accuracy rate for a mental activity period of 1s.
