A vital input for a task using the brain in BCI (Brain Computer Interface) applications is the motor imagery (MI) signal from the brain. Users of BCI systems can operate external equipment by using their brain activity, using motor imagery as a control method. Innumerous Electroencephalography (EEG) channels are used to gather nerve impulses from the brain, which are the most prevalent input for Brain Computer Interface systems while they are minimally invasive, flexible, and low in price. The computational overhead is increased by multichannel BCI systems’ high-dimensional data, which causes processing to be slower and to cost more money. EEG details are regularly gathered from over 100 different brain regions; therefore, it is essential to use channel selection algorithms to choose the ideal channels for a given circumstance. However, the primary objective of choosing the channel in EEG data analysis is to lessen the computer intricacy, improve the precision of classification by eliminating over fitting, and save setup time. In this study, we suggested a remora optimization technique that was inspired by nature to lessen the computational load brought on by several channels. Using predetermined criteria, a number of channel selection evaluation techniques, whether classification-based methods used or not it extracted the proper channel subsets. In order to determine the greatest classification accuracy, the classification procedures were utilized in the end. Three publicly available EEG datasets are used to validate the experiment (BCI Competition IV-1,2a, Competition III-3a), and it resulted in superior classification accuracy.
