The document discusses the feature extraction and classification of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) data, focusing on the analysis of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin to assess brain activity. Various methods like artificial neural networks (ANN), k-nearest neighbors (k-NN), and support vector machines (SVM) are employed for classification of features, with a comparative analysis of accuracy and sensitivity. Future work includes potential applications in brain-computer interfaces and mood detection using the extracted features.
