[PMID: 38639704 DOI: 10.1016/j.neurom.2024.01.003] [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: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 11/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Current techniques in brain stimulation are still largely based on a phrenologic approach that a single brain target can treat a brain disorder. Nevertheless, meta-analyses of brain implants indicate an overall success rate of 50% improvement in 50% of patients, irrespective of the brain-related disorder. Thus, there is still a large margin for improvement. The goal of this manuscript is to 1) develop a general theoretical framework of brain functioning that is amenable to surgical neuromodulation, and 2) describe the engineering requirements of the next generation of implantable brain stimulators that follow from this theoretic model. MATERIALS AND METHODS A neuroscience and engineering literature review was performed to develop a universal theoretical model of brain functioning and dysfunctioning amenable to surgical neuromodulation. RESULTS Even though a single target can modulate an entire network, research in network science reveals that many brain disorders are the consequence of maladaptive interactions among multiple networks rather than a single network. Consequently, targeting the main connector hubs of those multiple interacting networks involved in a brain disorder is theoretically more beneficial. We, thus, envision next-generation network implants that will rely on distributed, multisite neuromodulation targeting correlated and anticorrelated interacting brain networks, juxtaposing alternative implant configurations, and finally providing solid recommendations for the realization of such implants. In doing so, this study pinpoints the potential shortcomings of other similar efforts in the field, which somehow fall short of the requirements. CONCLUSION The concept of network stimulation holds great promise as a universal approach for treating neurologic and psychiatric disorders.

Method for cycle detection in sparse, irregularly sampled, long-term neuro-behavioral timeseries: Basis pursuit denoising with polynomial detrending of long-term, inter-ictal epileptiform activity. PLoS Comput Biol 2024; 20:e1011152.

Abstract
Numerous physiological processes are cyclical, but sampling these processes densely enough to perform frequency decomposition and subsequent analyses can be challenging. Mathematical approaches for decomposition and reconstruction of sparsely and irregularly sampled signals are well established but have been under-utilized in physiological applications. We developed a basis pursuit denoising with polynomial detrending (BPWP) model that recovers oscillations and trends from sparse and irregularly sampled timeseries. We validated this model on a unique dataset of long-term inter-ictal epileptiform discharge (IED) rates from human hippocampus recorded with a novel investigational device with continuous local field potential sensing. IED rates have well established circadian and multiday cycles related to sleep, wakefulness, and seizure clusters. Given sparse and irregular samples of IED rates from multi-month intracranial EEG recordings from ambulatory humans, we used BPWP to compute narrowband spectral power and polynomial trend coefficients and identify IED rate cycles in three subjects. In select cases, we propose that random and irregular sampling may be leveraged for frequency decomposition of physiological signals. Trial Registration: NCT03946618.

Abstract
The human brain can be seen as one of the most powerful processors in the world, and it has a very complex structure with different kinds of signals for monitoring organics, communicating to neurons, and reacting to different information, which allows large developments in observing human sleeping, revealing diseases, reflecting certain motivations of limbs, and other applications. Relative theory, algorithms, and applications also help us to build brain-computer interface (BCI) systems for different powerful functions. Therefore, we present a fast-reaction framework based on an extreme learning machine (ELM) with multiple layers for the ElectroEncephaloGram (EEG) signals classification in motor imagery, showing the advantages in both accuracy of classification and training speed compared with conventional machine learning methods. The experiments are performed on software with the dataset of BCI Competition II with fast training time and high accuracy. The final average results show an accuracy of 93.90% as well as a reduction of 75% of the training time as compared to conventional deep learning and machine learning algorithms for EEG signal classification, also showing its prospects of the improvement of the performance of the BCI system.

A Sparse Multiclass Motor Imagery EEG Classification Using 1D-ConvResNet. SIGNALS 2023.

Abstract
Multiclass motor imagery classification is essential for brain–computer interface systems such as prosthetic arms. The compressive sensing of EEG helps classify brain signals in real-time, which is necessary for a BCI system. However, compressive sensing is limited, despite its flexibility and data efficiency, because of its sparsity and high computational cost in reconstructing signals. Although the constraint of sparsity in compressive sensing has been addressed through neural networks, its signal reconstruction remains slow, and the computational cost increases to classify the signals further. Therefore, we propose a 1D-Convolutional Residual Network that classifies EEG features in the compressed (sparse) domain without reconstructing the signal. First, we extract only wavelet features (energy and entropy) from raw EEG epochs to construct a dictionary. Next, we classify the given test EEG data based on the sparse representation of the dictionary. The proposed method is computationally inexpensive, fast, and has high classification accuracy as it uses a single feature to classify without preprocessing. The proposed method is trained, validated, and tested using multiclass motor imagery data of 109 subjects from the PhysioNet database. The results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art classifiers with 96.6% accuracy.

Deep learning for compressive sensing: a ubiquitous systems perspective. Artif Intell Rev 2022.

Abstract
AbstractCompressive sensing (CS) is a mathematically elegant tool for reducing the sensor sampling rate, potentially bringing context-awareness to a wider range of devices. Nevertheless, practical issues with the sampling and reconstruction algorithms prevent further proliferation of CS in real world domains, especially among heterogeneous ubiquitous devices. Deep learning (DL) naturally complements CS for adapting the sampling matrix, reconstructing the signal, and learning from the compressed samples. While the CS–DL integration has received substantial research interest recently, it has not yet been thoroughly surveyed, nor has any light been shed on practical issues towards bringing the CS–DL to real world implementations in the ubiquitous computing domain. In this paper we identify main possible ways in which CS and DL can interplay, extract key ideas for making CS–DL efficient, outline major trends in the CS–DL research space, and derive guidelines for the future evolution of CS–DL within the ubiquitous computing domain.

Abstract
Neurostimulation devices applied for the treatment of epilepsy that collect, encode, temporarily store, and transfer electroencephalographic (EEG) signals recorded intracranially from epileptic patients, suffer from short battery life spans. The principal goal of this study is to implement strategies for low power consumption rates during the device’s smooth and uninterrupted operation as well as during data transmission. Our approach is organised in three basic levels. The first level regards the initial modelling and creation of the template for the following two stages. The second level regards the development of code for programming integrated circuits and simulation. The third and final stage regards the transmitter’s implementation at the evaluation level. In particular, more than one software and device are involved in this phase, in order to achieve realistic performance. Our research aims to evolve such technologies so that they can transmit wireless data with simultaneous energy efficiency.

A Personalized Compression Method for Steady-State Visual Evoked Potential EEG Signals. INFORMATION 2022.

Abstract
As an informative electroencephalogram (EEG) signal, steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) stands out from many paradigms for application in wireless wearable devices. However, its data are usually enormous, occupy too many bandwidth sources and require immense power when transmitted in the raw data form, so it is necessary to compress the signal. This paper proposes a personalized EEG compression and reconstruction algorithm for the SSVEP application. In the algorithm, to realize personalization, a primary artificial neural network (ANN) model is first pre-trained with the open benchmark database towards BCI application (BETA). Then, an adaptive ANN model is generated with incremental learning for each subject to compress their individual data. Additionally, a personalized, non-uniform quantization method is proposed to reduce the errors caused by compression. The recognition accuracy only decreases by 3.79% when the compression rate is 12.7 times, and is tested on BETA. The proposed algorithm can reduce signal loss by from 50.43% to 81.08% in the accuracy test compared to the case without ANN and uniform quantization.

Abstract
This article presents a comprehensive survey of literature on the compressed sensing (CS) of neurophysiology signals. CS is a promising technique to achieve high-fidelity, low-rate, and hardware-efficient neural signal compression tasks for wireless streaming of massively parallel neural recording channels in next-generation neural interface technologies. The main objective is to provide a timely retrospective on applying the CS theory to the extracellular brain signals in the past decade. We will present a comprehensive review on the CS-based neural recording system architecture, the CS encoder hardware exploration and implementation, the sparse representation of neural signals, and the signal reconstruction algorithms. Deep learning-based CS methods are also discussed and compared with the traditional CS-based approaches. We will also extend our discussion to cover the technical challenges and prospects in this emerging field.
