Recognition of Bengali Vowels from Auditory Evoked Potentials Using CNN

Published in IEEE International Conference on Signal Processing, Information, Communication and Systems (SPICSCON), 2024 — Best Paper Award, 2024

This work explores auditory evoked potentials (AEP) as a modality for recognizing Bengali vowels from EEG recordings. Using the first EEG AEP dataset for imagined Bengali language tasks — collected with a low-cost OpenBCI acquisition system — a convolutional neural network is trained to classify vowel stimuli.

The proposed model demonstrates that robust vowel recognition is feasible from non-invasive EEG, contributing to language-specific brain–computer interface systems. The paper received the IEEE Best Paper Award.
