Reading the Brain with Machine Learning

In my previous post I talked about using a portable EEG device to detect Event Related Potentials (ERP's) in the brain. Specifically, I was able to detect a Reward Positivity (RewP) signal after a puzzle was solved correctly. I did this by graphing the signal immediately after the event and comparing it with the average RewP signal from this paper. Using my human brain's visual pattern recognition, I confirmed that I was getting the same pattern. Wouldn't it be interesting to train a machine learning model to recognize the same pattern so we can monitor these events automatically.
