Error-related potentials (ErrPs) are the neural signature of error processing. Therefore, the detection of ErrPs is an intuitive approach to improve the performance of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). The incorporation of ErrPs in discrete BCIs is well established but the study of asynchronous detection of ErrPs is still in its early stages. Here we show the feasibility of asynchronously decoding ErrPs in an online scenario. For that, we measured EEG in 15 participants while they controlled a robotic arm towards a target using their right hand. In 30% of the trials, the control of the robotic arm was halted at an unexpected moment (error onset) in order to trigger error-related potentials. When an ErrP was detected after the error onset, participants regained the control of the robot and could finish the trial. Regarding the asynchronous classification in the online scenario, we obtained an average true positive rate (TPR) of 70% and an average true negative rate (TNR) of 86.8%. These results indicate that the online asynchronous decoding of ErrPs was, on average, reliable, showing the feasibility of the asynchronous decoding of ErrPs in an online scenario.

The decoding of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, especially motion-related cortical potentials (MRCP), is vital for the early detection of motor intent before movement execution. To enhance the decoding accuracy of MRCP and promote the application of early motion intention in active rehabilitation training, we propose a method for decoding MRCP signals. Specifically, an experimental paradigm is designed for the efficient capture of MRCP signals.

Reactive brain-computer interfaces typically rely on repetitive visual stimuli, which can strain the eyes and cause attentional distraction. To address these challenges, we propose a novel approach rooted in visual neuroscience to design visual Stimuli for Augmented Response (StAR). The StAR stimuli consist of small randomly-orientedorpatches that optimize foveal neural response while reducing peripheral distraction.

This paper presents a dual-purpose LED driver system that functions as both a lighting source and a Visible Light Communication (VLC) transmitter integrated with a Powerline Communication (PLC) network under the PRIME G3 standard. The system decodes PLC messages from the powerline grid and transmits the information via LED light to an optical receiver under a binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation. The load design targets a light flux of 800 lumens, suitable for LED light bulb applications up to 10 watts, ensuring practicality and energy efficiency.

In the evolving landscape of sixth-generation wireless communication, the integration of visible light communication (VLC) and visible light positioning (VLP), known as visible light positioning and communication (VLPC), emerges as a pivotal technology. This study addresses the challenges of asynchronous code division multiplexing (ACDM) in VLPC networks, focusing on the enhancement of data transmission quality and positioning accuracy. Firstly, we propose an orthogonal pseudo-random code (OPRC) for ACDM-based VLP systems.

Article Synopsis
  • Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are gaining attention for their low-power and event-driven design, ideal for processing dynamic signals from event-based sensors, but they struggle with training and architecture, limiting their performance compared to traditional artificial neural networks (ANNs).
  • The proposed SpikingEDN network improves performance in event-based semantic segmentation tasks by using adaptive thresholds and a dual-path spiking module to better handle sparse events and multimodal data.
  • Achieving a mean intersection over union (MIoU) of 72.57% on the DDD17 dataset and 58.32% on the larger DSEC-Semantic dataset, SpikingEDN showcases the potential of SNNs, requiring less computational power
