People with neurological disorders are unable to communicate their basic requirements because they lost the ability to speak. Designing a brain-computer interface that could convey their basic needs would make their lives easier. This article presents a system to determine the patient’s imagined words in the brain without him/her physically expressing them by EEG signal and machine learning. The imagined words in the mind-to-text mapping are converted into a classification problem among a predesigned set of words and classified by using machine learning algorithms. The decoding/classification of EEG signals to identify imagined words is carried out by KNN classifier and random forest classifier. The classification accuracy shows that the random forest classifier achieved better classification accuracy in comparison with KNN.
