Electroencephalography (EEG) signals provide information about the brain activities, this study bridges neuroscience and machine learning by introducing an astronomy-inspired feature extraction model. In this work, we developed a novel feature extraction function, black-white hole pattern (BWHPat) which dynamically selects the most suitable pattern from 14 options. We developed BWHPat in a four-phase feature engineering model, involving multileveled feature extraction, feature selection, classification, and cortex map generation. Textural and statistical features are extracted in the first phase, while tunable q-factor wavelet transform (TQWT) aids in multileveled feature extraction. The second phase employs iterative neighborhood component analysis (INCA) for feature selection, and the k-nearest neighbors (kNN) classifier is applied for classification, yielding channel-specific results. A new cortex map generation model highlights the most active channels using median and intersection functions. Our BWHPat-driven model consistently achieved over 99% classification accuracy across three scenarios using the publicly available EEG pain dataset. Furthermore, a semantic cortex map precisely identifies pain-affected brain regions. This study signifies the contribution to EEG signal classification and neuroscience. The BWHPat pattern establishes a unique link between astronomy and feature extraction, enhancing the understanding of brain activities.
