Motor imagery decoding using source optimized transfer learning based on multi-loss fusion CNN.

Transfer learning is increasingly used to decode multi-class motor imagery tasks. Previous transfer learning ignored the optimizability of the source model, weakened the adaptability to the target domain and limited the performance. This paper first proposes the multi-loss fusion convolutional neural network (MF-CNN) to make an optimizable source model.

EEG-Based Feature Classification Combining 3D-Convolutional Neural Networks with Generative Adversarial Networks for Motor Imagery.

Background: The adoption of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for decoding electroencephalogram (EEG)-based motor imagery (MI) in brain-computer interfaces has significantly increased recently. The effective extraction of motor imagery features is vital due to the variability among individuals and temporal states.

Methods: This study introduces a novel network architecture, 3D-convolutional neural network-generative adversarial network (3D-CNN-GAN), for decoding both within-session and cross-session motor imagery.

Identifying radiogenomic associations of breast cancer based on DCE-MRI by using Siamese Neural Network with manufacturer bias normalization.

Background And Purpose: The immunohistochemical test (IHC) for Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) and hormone receptors (HR) provides prognostic information and guides treatment for patients with invasive breast cancer. The objective of this paper is to establish a non-invasive system for identifying HER2 and HR in breast cancer using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI).

Methods: In light of the absence of high-performance algorithms and external validation in previously published methods, this study utilizes 3D deep features and radiomics features to represent the information of the Region of Interest (ROI).

An SSVEP-based BCI with 112 targets using frequency spatial multiplexing.

Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems with large directly accessible instruction sets are one of the difficulties in BCI research. Research to achieve high target resolution (⩾100) has not yet entered a rapid development stage, which contradicts the application requirements. Steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) based BCIs have an advantage in terms of the number of targets, but the competitive mechanism between the target stimulus and its neighboring stimuli is a key challenge that prevents the target resolution from being improved significantly.

Temporal-frequency-phase feature classification using 3D-convolutional neural networks for motor imagery and movement.

Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely applied in brain-computer interface (BCI) based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Due to the subject-specific nature of EEG signal patterns and the multi-dimensionality of EEG features, it is necessary to employ appropriate feature representation methods to enhance the decoding accuracy of EEG. In this study, we proposed a method for representing EEG temporal, frequency, and phase features, aiming to preserve the multi-domain information of EEG signals.

Recognizable rehabilitation movements of multiple unilateral upper limb: An fMRI study of motor execution and motor imagery.

Background: This paper presents a study investigating the recognizability of multiple unilateral upper limb movements in stroke rehabilitation.

Methods: A functional magnetic experiment is employed to study motor execution (ME) and motor imagery (MI) of four movements for the unilateral upper limb: hand-grasping, hand-handling, arm-reaching, and wrist-twisting. The functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) images of ME and MI tasks are statistically analyzed to delineate the region of interest (ROI).

EEG assessment of brain dysfunction for patients with chronic primary pain and depression under auditory oddball task.

In 2019, the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) put forward a new concept of "chronic primary pain" (CPP), a kind of chronic pain characterized by severe functional disability and emotional distress, which is a medical problem that deserves great attention. Although CPP is closely related to depressive disorder, its potential neural characteristics are still unclear. This paper collected EEG data from 67 subjects (23 healthy subjects, 22 patients with depression, and 22 patients with CPP) under the auditory oddball paradigm, systematically analyzed the brain network connection matrix and graph theory characteristic indicators, and classified the EEG and PLI matrices of three groups of people by frequency band based on deep learning.

A large EEG dataset for studying cross-session variability in motor imagery brain-computer interface.

In building a practical and robust brain-computer interface (BCI), the classification of motor imagery (MI) from electroencephalography (EEG) across multiple days is a long-standing challenge due to the large variability of the EEG signals. We collected a large dataset of MI from 5 different days with 25 subjects, the first open-access dataset to address BCI issues across 5 different days with a large number of subjects. The dataset includes 5 session data from 5 different days (2-3 days apart) for each subject.

A Real-Time EMG-Based Fixed-Bandwidth Frequency-Domain Embedded System for Robotic Hand.

The signals from electromyography (EMG) have been used for volitional control of robotic assistive devices with the challenges of performance improvement. Currently, the most common method of EMG signal processing for robot control is RMS (root mean square)-based algorithm, but system performance accuracy can be affected by noise or artifacts. This study hypothesized that the frequency bandwidths of noise and artifacts are beyond the main EMG signal frequency bandwidth, hence the fixed-bandwidth frequency-domain signal processing methods can filter off the noise and artifacts only by processing the main frequency bandwidth of EMG signals for robot control.

A deep neural network with subdomain adaptation for motor imagery brain-computer interface.

Background: The nonstationarity problem of EEG is very serious, especially for spontaneous signals, which leads to the poor effect of machine learning related to spontaneous signals, especially in related tasks across time, which correspondingly limits the practical use of brain-computer interface (BCI).

Objective: In this paper, we proposed a new transfer learning algorithm, which can utilize the labeled motor imagery (MI) EEG data at the previous time to achieve better classification accuracies for a small number of labeled EEG signals at the current time.

Methods: We introduced an adaptive layer into the full connection layer of a deep convolution neural network.

EEG classification across sessions and across subjects through transfer learning in motor imagery-based brain-machine interface system.

Transfer learning enables the adaption of models to handle mismatches of distributions across sessions or across subjects. In this paper, we proposed a new transfer learning algorithm to classify motor imagery EEG data. By analyzing the power spectrum of EEG data related to motor imagery, the shared features across sessions or across subjects, namely, the mean and variance of model parameters, are extracted.
