function features = extractCSP(EEGSignals, CSPMatrix, nbFilterPairs)
%
%extract features from an EEG data set using the Common Spatial Patterns (CSP) algorithm
%
%Input:
%EEGSignals: the EEGSignals from which extracting the CSP features. These signals
%are a structure such that:
% EEGSignals.x: the EEG signals as a [Ns * Nc * Nt] Matrix where
% Ns: number of EEG samples per trial
% Nc: number of channels (EEG electrodes)
% nT: number of trials
% EEGSignals.y: a [1 * Nt] vector containing the class labels for each trial
% EEGSignals.s: the sampling frequency (in Hz)
%CSPMatrix: the CSP projection matrix, learnt previously (see function learnCSP)
%nbFilterPairs: number of pairs of CSP filters to be used. The number of
% features extracted will be twice the value of this parameter. The
% filters selected are the one corresponding to the lowest and highest
% eigenvalues
%
%Output:
%features: the features extracted from this EEG data set
% as a [Nt * (nbFilterPairs*2 + 1)] matrix, with the class labels as the
% last column
%

nbTrials = size(EEGSignals.x,3);

Filter = CSPMatrix([1:nbFilterPairs (end-nbFilterPairs+1):end],:);
%extracting the CSP features from each trial
for t=1:nbTrials
%projecting the data onto the CSP filters
projectedTrial = Filter * EEGSignals.x(:,:,t)';
%generating the features as the log variance of the projected signals
variances = var(projectedTrial,0,2);
