The cognitive processing and detection of errors is important in the adaptation of the behavioral and learning processes. This brain activity is often reflected as distinct patterns of event-related potentials (ERPs) that can be employed in the detection and interpretation of the cerebral responses to erroneous stimuli. However, high-accuracy cross-condition classification is challenging due to the significant variations of the error-related ERP components (ErrPs) between complexity conditions, thus hindering the development of error recognition systems. In this study, we employed support vector machines (SVM) classification methods, based on waveform characteristics of ErrPs from different time windows, to detect correct and incorrect responses in an audio identification task with two conditions of different complexity. Since the performance of the classifiers usually depends on the salience of the features employed, a combination of the sequential forward floating feature selection (SFFS) and sequential forward feature selection (SFS) methods was implemented to detect condition-independent and condition-specific feature subsets. Our framework achieved high accuracy using a small subset of the available features both for cross- and within-condition classification, hence supporting the notion that machine learning techniques can detect hidden patterns of ErrP-based features, irrespective of task complexity while additionally elucidating complexity-related error processing variations. |
