Due to the review character of the presentation, a high overlap with the above-mentioned contributions is unavoidable. When analysing cognition, it is often useful to combine information from various modalities (see e.g. Biessmann et al., 2011, Sui et al., 2012). In BCI recently multimodal fusion concepts have received great attention under the label hybrid BCI (Pfurtscheller et al., 2010, Müller-Putz et al. 2015, Dähne et al. 2015, Fazli et al. 2015) or as data analysis technique for extracting (non-) linear relations between data (see e.g. Biessmann et al., 2010, Biessmann et al., 2011, Fazli et al., 2009, 2011, 2012, Dähne et al., 2013, 2014a,b, 2015, Winkler et al. 2015). They are rooted in the modern machine learning and signal processing techniques that are now available for analysing EEG, for decoding mental states etc. (see Müller et al. 2008, Bünau et al. 2009, Tomioka and Müller, 2010, Blankertz et al., 2008, 2011, Lemm et al., 2011, Porbadnigk et al. 2015 for recent reviews and contributions to Machine Learning for BCI, see Samek et al. 2014 for a review on robust methods). Note that fusing information has also been a very common practice in the sciences and engineering (Waltz and Llinas, 1990). The talk will discuss a number of recent contributions from the BBCI group that have helped to broaden the spectrum of applicability for Brain Computer Interfaces and mental state monitoring in particular and for analysis of neuroimaging data in general. I will introduce a novel reliable method for estimating the Hurst exponent, a quantity that has recently become popular for describing network properties and is being used for diagnostic purposes (cf. Blythe et al. 2014). It is applied to estimate and analyse cognitive properties in neurophysiological data from BCI experiments (Samek et al. 2016). Furthermore if time permits I will discuss a recent attractive application of BCI in the context of video coding (Scholler et al. 2012 and Acqualagna et al 2015).","PeriodicalId":208670,"journal":{"name":"2016 4th International Winter Conference on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123582799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, recent studies shows that the spinal cord may also be involved in the generation of skilled movements. Direct and indirect pathways connect between broad motor-related cortex and spinal cord. Therefore, if the oscillations are generated in the spinal cord like rhythmic movements and the oscillation interact with the broad motor related cortex, the oscillatory components should be found in macroscopic neural activity. Here, we examine whether the oscillations are represented in macroscopic neural activity during skilled movements. To investigate neural activity, we measured whole brain MEG signals during reaching. We used a novel analysis method, `jPCA', to analyze the MEG signals. We found that neural oscillations occur at the macroscopic level in all subjects during reaching movements. The results imply the possibility that the corticospinal system is involved in the generation and control of the skilled movements. Our results suggest that the neural mechanism of skilled movements is similar to the mechanism of rhythmic movements.","PeriodicalId":208670,"journal":{"name":"2016 4th International Winter Conference on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122075778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then Isomap algorithm is applied to the Riemannian pairwise distances to locate manifold, corresponding to human EEG signals, and arrange points, corresponding to covariance matrices, in low-dimensional space, preserving geodesical distances.

Traditionally, it has been assumed that non-invasive methods lack the resolution required for success on such a fine discrimination task. In this study, we challenged this assumption. EEG was acquired while subjects imagined performing individual and bimanual finger flexions. A new method of spatiotemporal and spectral feature extraction was applied, and multi-class support vector machine (SVM) classifiers were trained. Predictions and probabilities then served as inputs to a novel voting scheme, which output the system decision. The present approach achieved a mean population (n=15) accuracy of 30.86±1.76%, nearly twice the chance guessing level (16.71±1.68%) for the six-class task evaluated.
