Incremental Classification for High-Dimensional EEG Manifold Representation Using Bidirectional Dimensionality Reduction and Prototype Learning.

In brain-computer interface (BCI) systems, symmetric positive definite (SPD) manifold within Riemannian space has been frequently utilized to extract spatial features from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. However, the intrinsic high dimensionality of SPD matrices introduces too much computational burden to hinder the real-time applications of such BCI, especially in handling dynamic tasks, like incremental learning. Directly reducing the dimensionality of SPD matrices with conventional dimensionality reduction (DR) methods will alter the fundamental properties of SPD matrices.

Adaptive Hybrid Classifier for Myoelectric Pattern Recognition Against the Interferences of Outlier Motion, Muscle Fatigue, and Electrode Doffing.

Traditional myoelectric prostheses that employ a static pattern recognition model to identify human movement intention from surface electromyography (sEMG) signals hardly adapt to the changes in the sEMG characteristics caused by interferences from daily activities, which hinders the clinical applications of such prostheses. In this paper, we focus on methods to reduce or eliminate the impacts of three types of daily interferences on myoelectric pattern recognition (MPR), i.e.

Continuous Estimation of Human Multi-Joint Angles From sEMG Using a State-Space Model.

Due to the couplings among joint-relative muscles, it is a challenge to accurately estimate continuous multi-joint movements from multi-channel sEMG signals. Traditional approaches always build a nonlinear regression model, such as artificial neural network, to predict the multi-joint movement variables using sEMG as inputs. However, the redundant sEMG-data are always not distinguished; the prediction errors cannot be evaluated and corrected online as well.
