Brain-computer interfaces are being explored for a wide variety of therapeutic applications. Typically, this involves measuring and analyzing continuous-time electrical brain activity via techniques such as electrocorticogram (ECoG) or electroencephalography (EEG) to drive external devices. However, due to the inherent noise and variability in the measurements, the analysis of these signals is challenging and requires offline processing with significant computational resources. In this paper, we propose a simple yet efficient machine learning-based approach for the exemplary problem of hand gesture classification based on brain signals. We use a hybrid machine learning approach that uses a convolutional spiking neural network employing a bio-inspired event-driven synaptic plasticity rule for unsupervised feature learning of the measured analog signals encoded in the spike domain. We demonstrate that this approach generalizes to different subjects with both EEG and ECoG data and achieves superior accuracy in the range of 92.74-97.07% in identifying different hand gesture classes and motor imagery tasks.
