AB  - This paper examines the task of recognizing EEG patterns that correspond to 
      performing three mental tasks: relaxation and imagining of two types of pictures: 
      faces and houses. The experiments were performed using two EEG headsets: 
      BrainProducts ActiCap and Emotiv EPOC. The Emotiv headset becomes widely used in 
      consumer BCI application allowing for conducting large-scale EEG experiments in 
      the future. Since classification accuracy significantly exceeded the level of 
      random classification during the first three days of the experiment with EPOC 
      headset, a control experiment was performed on the fourth day using ActiCap. The 
      control experiment has shown that utilization of high-quality research equipment 
      can enhance classification accuracy (up to 68% in some subjects) and that the 
      accuracy is independent of the presence of EEG artifacts related to blinking and 
      eye movement. This study also shows that computationally-inexpensive bayesian 
      classifier based on covariance matrix analysis yields similar classification 
      accuracy in this problem as a more sophisticated Multi-class Common Spatial 
      Patterns (MCSP) classifier.
