Although deep learning architectures have advanced MI-EEG decoding, existing approaches-including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), Transformers, and recurrent neural networks (RNNs)-still face limitations in capturing global temporal dependencies, maintaining positional coherence, and ensuring computational efficiency. To address these challenges, we propose MIFNet, a MamBa-based Interactive Frequency Convolutional Neural Network that systematically integrates spectral, spatial, and temporal feature extraction. Specifically, MIFNet incorporates: non-overlapping frequency decomposition, which selectively extracts motor imagery-related mu (8-12 Hz) and beta (12-32 Hz) rhythms; a ConvEncoder module, which autonomously learns to fuse spectral-spatial features from both frequency bands; and a MamBa-based temporal module, leveraging selective state-space models (SSMs) to efficiently capture long-range dependencies with linear complexity. Extensive experiments on three public MI-EEG datasets (BCIC-IV-2A, OpenBMI, and High Gamma) demonstrate that MIFNet outperforms existing models, achieving an average classification accuracy improvement of 12.3%, 8.3%, 4.7%, and 5.5% over EEGNet, FBCNet, IFNet, and Conformer, respectively. Ablation studies further validate the necessity of each component, with the MamBa module contributing a 5.5% improvement in accuracy on the BCIC-IV-2A dataset. Moreover, MIFNet exhibits strong generalization performance in cross-validation settings, establishing a robust foundation for real-time BCI applications. Our findings highlight the potential of hybridizing CNNs with state-space models (SSMs) for improving EEG decoding performance, effectively bridging the gap between localized feature extraction and global temporal modeling.</p>","PeriodicalId":10500,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Neurodynamics","volume":"19 1","pages":"106"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12209096/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144552513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we investigated the mechanism by which Pnky influences the Wnt/β-catenin pathway to promote NSC differentiation into neurons. Using cck8 assays, western blot analysis, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), we found that Pnky knockdown significantly enhanced NSC proliferation and promoted their differentiation into neurons. Additionally, Pnky knockdown resulted in the downregulation of the neural stem cell marker Nestin and upregulation of the neuronal marker β3-Tubulin, through activation of the β-catenin signaling pathway. Conversely, inhibiting the β-catenin pathway hindered both NSC differentiation and proliferation.

To alleviate communication pressure, an event-triggered controller is introduced, accompanied by specific conditions and criteria to guarantee synchronization within a finite time frame. Additionally, a direct estimate of the synchronization time is provided, and a positive lower bound on the minimum event interval is derived to prevent Zeno behavior.
