Abstract
OBJECTIVES To design and develop an approach named HC + SMA-SSA scheme for classifying motor imagery task. METHODS The offered model employs a new method for classifying motor imagery task. Initially, down sampling is deployed to pre-process the incoming signal. Subsequently, "Modified Stockwell Transform (ST) and common spatial pattern (CSP) based features are extracted". Then, optimal channel selection is made by a novel hybrid optimization model named as Spider Monkey Assisted SSA (SMA-SSA). Here, "Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) and Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (BI-GRU)" models are used for final classification, whose outcomes are averaged at the end. At last, the improvement of SMA-SSA based model is proven over different metrics. RESULTS A superior sensitivity of 0.939 is noted for HC + SMA-SSA that was higher over HC with no optimization and proposed with traditional ST. CONCLUSIONS The proposed method achieved effective classification performance in terms of performance measures.

Comput Methods Biomech Biomed Engin 2024; 27:378-399. [PMID: 36951376 DOI: 10.1080/10255842.2023.2187662] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 03/24/2023]
Abstract
Generally, time series data is referred to as the sequential representation of data that observes from different applications. Therefore, such expertise can use Electroencephalography (EEG) signals to fetch data regarding brain neural activities in brain-computer interface (BCI) systems. Due to massive and myriads data, the signals are appealed in a non-stationary format that ends with a poor quality resolution. To overcome this existing issue, a new framework of enhanced deep learning methods is proposed. The source signals are collected and undergo feature extraction in four ways. Hence, the features are concatenated to enhance the performance. Subsequently, the concatenated features are given to probability ratio-based Reptile Search Algorithm (PR-RSA) to select the optimal features. Finally, the classification is conducted using Enhanced Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory (EBi-LSTM), where the hyperparameters are optimized by PR-RSA. Throughout the result analysis, it is confirmed that the offered model obtains elevated classification accuracy, and thus tends to increase the performance.

Abstract
To navigate in space, it is important to predict headings in real-time from neural responses in the brain to vestibular and visual signals, and the ventral intraparietal area (VIP) is one of the critical brain areas. However, it remains unexplored in the population level how the heading perception is represented in VIP. And there are no commonly used methods suitable for decoding the headings from the population responses in VIP, given the large spatiotemporal dynamics and heterogeneity in the neural responses. Here, responses were recorded from 210 VIP neurons in three rhesus monkeys when they were performing a heading perception task. And by specifically and separately modelling the both dynamics with sparse representation, we built a sequential sparse autoencoder (SSAE) to do the population decoding on the recorded dataset and tried to maximize the decoding performance. The SSAE relies on a three-layer sparse autoencoder to extract temporal and spatial heading features in the dataset via unsupervised learning, and a softmax classifier to decode the headings. Compared with other population decoding methods, the SSAE achieves a leading accuracy of 96.8% ± 2.1%, and shows the advantages of robustness, low storage and computing burden for real-time prediction. Therefore, our SSAE model performs well in learning neurobiologically plausible features comprising dynamic navigational information.

Abstract
(1) Background: in the field of motor-imagery brain-computer interfaces (MI-BCIs), obtaining discriminative features among multiple MI tasks poses a significant challenge. Typically, features are extracted from single electroencephalography (EEG) channels, neglecting their interconnections, which leads to limited results. To address this limitation, there has been growing interest in leveraging functional brain connectivity (FC) as a feature in MI-BCIs. However, the high inter- and intra-subject variability has so far limited its effectiveness in this domain. (2) Methods: we propose a novel signal processing framework that addresses this challenge. We extracted translation-invariant features (TIFs) obtained from a scattering convolution network (SCN) and brain connectivity features (BCFs). Through a feature fusion approach, we combined features extracted from selected channels and functional connectivity features, capitalizing on the strength of each component. Moreover, we employed a multiclass support vector machine (SVM) model to classify the extracted features. (3) Results: using a public dataset (IIa of the BCI Competition IV), we demonstrated that the feature fusion approach outperformed existing state-of-the-art methods. Notably, we found that the best results were achieved by merging TIFs with BCFs, rather than considering TIFs alone. (4) Conclusions: our proposed framework could be the key for improving the performance of a multiclass MI-BCI system.

Front Comput Neurosci 2022; 16:1004301.

Abstract
Background Effectively decoding electroencephalogram (EEG) pattern for specific mental tasks is a crucial topic in the development of brain-computer interface (BCI). Extracting common spatial pattern (CSP) features from motor imagery EEG signals is often highly dependent on the selection of frequency band and time interval. Therefore, optimizing frequency band and time interval would contribute to effective feature extraction and accurate EEG decoding. Objective This study proposes an approach based on an improved novel global harmony search (INGHS) to optimize frequency-time parameters for effective CSP feature extraction. Methods The INGHS algorithm is applied to find the optimal frequency band and temporal interval. The linear discriminant analysis and support vector machine are used for EEG pattern decoding. Extensive experimental studies are conducted on three EEG datasets to assess the effectiveness of our proposed method. Results The average test accuracy obtained by the time-frequency parameters selected by the proposed INGHS method is slightly better than artificial bee colony (ABC) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms. Furthermore, the INGHS algorithm is superior to PSO and ABC in running time. Conclusion These superior experimental results demonstrate that the optimal frequency band and time interval selected by the INGHS algorithm could significantly improve the decoding accuracy compared with the traditional CSP method. This method has a potential to improve the performance of MI-based BCI systems.

Abstract
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a non-invasive technique used to record the brain's evoked and induced electrical activity from the scalp. Artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms, are increasingly being applied to EEG data for pattern analysis, group membership classification, and brain-computer interface purposes. This study aimed to systematically review recent advances in ML and DL supervised models for decoding and classifying EEG signals. Moreover, this article provides a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art techniques used for EEG signal preprocessing and feature extraction. To this end, several academic databases were searched to explore relevant studies from the year 2000 to the present. Our results showed that the application of ML and DL in both mental workload and motor imagery tasks has received substantial attention in recent years. A total of 75% of DL studies applied convolutional neural networks with various learning algorithms, and 36% of ML studies achieved competitive accuracy by using a support vector machine algorithm. Wavelet transform was found to be the most common feature extraction method used for all types of tasks. We further examined the specific feature extraction methods and end classifier recommendations discovered in this systematic review.

Deep and Wide Transfer Learning with Kernel Matching for Pooling Data from Electroencephalography and Psychological Questionnaires. SENSORS 2021; 21:s21155105.

Abstract
Motor imagery (MI) promotes motor learning and encourages brain–computer interface systems that entail electroencephalogram (EEG) decoding. However, a long period of training is required to master brain rhythms’ self-regulation, resulting in users with MI inefficiency. We introduce a parameter-based approach of cross-subject transfer-learning to improve the performances of poor-performing individuals in MI-based BCI systems, pooling data from labeled EEG measurements and psychological questionnaires via kernel-embedding. To this end, a Deep and Wide neural network for MI classification is implemented to pre-train the network from the source domain. Then, the parameter layers are transferred to initialize the target network within a fine-tuning procedure to recompute the Multilayer Perceptron-based accuracy. To perform data-fusion combining categorical features with the real-valued features, we implement stepwise kernel-matching via Gaussian-embedding. Finally, the paired source–target sets are selected for evaluation purposes according to the inefficiency-based clustering by subjects to consider their influence on BCI motor skills, exploring two choosing strategies of the best-performing subjects (source space): single-subject and multiple-subjects. Validation results achieved for discriminant MI tasks demonstrate that the introduced Deep and Wide neural network presents competitive performance of accuracy even after the inclusion of questionnaire data.
