Despite recent advancements, a persistent challenge lies in the influence of variations in affective states. Affective states consistently exist during data collection, regardless of the protocol used. Additionally, the inherently non-stationary nature of EEG makes it susceptible to fluctuations in affective states over time. Therefore, it would be highly crucial to perform precise EEG-based person identification under varying affective states. This paper employed an integrated Multi-scale Convolution and Graph Pooling network (MCGP) to mitigate the impact of affective state variations. MCGP utilized multiple 1D convolutions at different scales to dynamically extract and fuse features. Additionally, a graph pooling layer with an attention mechanism was incorporated to generate hierarchical graph embeddings. These embeddings were concatenated as inputs for a fully connected classification layer. Experiments were conducted on the SEED and SEED-V dataset, revealing that MCGP achieved an average accuracy of 85.51% for SEED and 88.69% for SEED-V in cross-session conditions involving mixed affective states. Under single affective state cross-session scenario, MCGP achieved an average accuracy of 85.75% for SEED and 88.06% for SEED-V for the same affective states, while obtaining 79.57% for SEED and 84.52% for SEED-V for different affective states. Results indicated that, compared to the baseline methods, MCGP effectively mitigated the impact of variations in affective states across different sessions. In single affective state cross-session scenario, identification performance for the same affective states was slightly higher than that for different affective states.</p>","PeriodicalId":10500,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Neurodynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141190677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The EEG has been extensively researched as an objective indicator of intense emotions. However, current existing methods lack sufficient analysis of shallow and deep EEG features. In addition, human emotions are complex and variable, making it difficult to comprehensively represent emotions using a single-modal signal. As a signal associated with gaze tracking and eye movement detection, Eye-related signals provide various forms of supplementary information for multimodal emotion analysis. Therefore, we propose a Pseudo-Siamese Pyramid Network (PSPN) for multimodal emotion analysis. The PSPN model employs a Depthwise Separable Convolutional Pyramid (DSCP) to extract and integrate intrinsic emotional features at various levels and scales from EEG signals. Simultaneously, we utilize a fully connected subnetwork to extract the external emotional features from eye-related signals. Finally, we introduce a Pseudo-Siamese network that integrates a flexible cross-modal dual-branch subnetwork to collaboratively utilize EEG emotional features and eye-related behavioral features, achieving consistency and complementarity in multimodal emotion recognition. For evaluation, we conducted experiments on the DEAP and SEED-IV public datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that multimodal fusion significantly improves the accuracy of emotion recognition compared to single-modal approaches. Our PSPN model achieved the best accuracy of 96.02% and 96.45% on the valence and arousal dimensions of the DEAP dataset, and 77.81% on the SEED-IV dataset, respectively.

Recently, transfer learning (TL) has demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing calibration time in MI-BCI.

Therefore, this paper combines data alignment, source domain selection, and feature alignment into the MI-TL. We propose a novel dual-step transfer framework based on source domain selection and feature alignment. First, the source and target domains are aligned using a pre-calibration strategy (PS), and then a sequential reverse selection method is proposed to match the optimal source domain for each target domain with the designed dual model selection strategy. We use filter bank regularization common space pattern (FBRCSP) to obtain more features and introduce manifold embedded distribution alignment (MEDA) to correct the prediction results of the support vector machine (SVM). The experimental results on two competition public datasets (BCI competition IV Dataset 1 and Dataset 2a) and our dataset show that the average classification accuracy of the proposed framework is higher than the baseline method (no domain selection and no feature alignment), which reaches 84.12%, 79.91%, and 78.45%, respectively.

This study developed a humanoid robot control system by integrating an augmented reality (AR)-based BCI with a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM)-based scheme for autonomous indoor navigation. An 8-target steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP)-based BCI was implemented to enable direct control of the humanoid robot by the user. A Microsoft HoloLens was utilized to display visual stimuli for eliciting SSVEPs. Filter bank canonical correlation analysis (FBCCA), a training-free method, was used to detect SSVEPs in this study. By leveraging SLAM technology, the proposed system alleviates the need for frequent control commands transmission from the user, thereby effectively reducing their workload. Online results from 12 healthy subjects showed this developed BCI system was able to select a command out of eight potential targets with an average accuracy of 94.79%. The autonomous navigation subsystem enabled the humanoid robot to autonomously navigate to a destination chosen utilizing the proposed BCI. Furthermore, all participants successfully completed the experimental task using the developed system without any prior training.

There are two competitive pathways in the BG; direct pathway (DP) which facilitates movement and indirect pathway (IP) which suppresses movement. It is well known that diverse functions of the BG may be made through “balance” between DP and IP. But, to the best of our knowledge, so far no quantitative analysis for such balance was done. In this paper, as a first time, we introduce the competition degree <span>({{mathcal {C}}}_d)</span> between DP and IP. Then, by employing <span>({{mathcal {C}}}_d)</span>, we quantify their competitive harmony (i.e., competition and cooperative interplay), which could lead to improving our understanding of the traditional “balance” so clearly and quantitatively. We first consider the case of normal dopamine (DA) level of <span>(phi ^*=0.3)</span>. In the case of phasic cortical input (10 Hz), a healthy state with <span>({{mathcal {C}}}_d^* = 2.82)</span> (i.e., DP is 2.82 times stronger than IP) appears. In this case, normal movement occurs via harmony between DP and IP. Next, we consider the case of decreased DA level, <span>(phi = phi ^*(=0.3)~x_{DA})</span> (<span>(1 > x_{DA} ge 0)</span>). With decreasing <span>(x_{DA})</span> from 1, the competition degree <span>({{mathcal {C}}}_d)</span> between DP and IP decreases monotonically from <span>({{mathcal {C}}}_d^*)</span>, which results in appearance of a pathological Parkinsonian state with reduced <span>({{mathcal {C}}}_d)</span>. In this Parkinsonian state, strength of IP is much increased than that in the case of normal healthy state, leading to disharmony between DP and IP. Due to such break-up of harmony between DP and IP, impaired movement occurs. Finally, we also study treatment of the pathological Parkinsonian state via recovery of harmony between DP and IP.</p>","PeriodicalId":10500,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Neurodynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141062506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A publicly accessible EEG dataset featuring 16-channels EEG obtained from 84 adolescents (45 SZ symptomatic and 39 healthy control) is used to demonstrate the work. Initially, the signals are decomposed into sub-bands using two multi-resolution signal analysis methods: Empirical Wavelet Transform and Empirical mode decomposition. 75 unique features from each sub-bands are extracted and the few selective prominent features are applied to machine learning classifiers for optimal sub-band selection. Subsequently, a hybrid model is proposed, combining convolutional neural network (CNN) and ensemble bagged tree, incorporating both deep learning and handcrafted features to perform SZ diagnosis. This innovative model achieved superior classification performance compared to existing methods, offering a promising approach for SZ diagnosis.
