One of the possible ways to tackle this problem is to adapt the computational model used to detect and classify different mental states. Adapting the model will possibly help us to track the changes and thus reducing the effect of non-stationarities. In this paper, we present different adaptation strategies for state of the art Riemannian geometry based classifiers. The offline evaluation of our proposed methods on two different datasets showed a statistically significant improvement over baseline non-adaptive classifiers. Moreover, we also demonstrate that combining different (hybrid) adaptation strategies generally increased the performance over individual adaptation schemes. Also, the improvement in average classification accuracy for a 3-class mental imagery BCI with hybrid adaption is as high as around 17% above the baseline non-adaptive classifier.","PeriodicalId":345970,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Winter Conference on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131395237","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}

In particular, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with different architectural forms have been studied for spatio-temporal or spatio-spectral feature representation learning. However, there still remain many challenges and limitations due to the necessity of a large annotated training samples for robustness. In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised deep adversarial learning framework that effectively utilizes generated artificial samples along with labeled and unlabelled real samples in discovering class-discriminative features to boost robustness of a classifier, thus to enhance BCI performance. It is also noteworthy that the proposed framework allows to exploit unlabelled real samples to better uncover the underlying patterns inherent in a user’s EEG signals. In order to justify the validity of the proposed framework, we conducted exhaustive experiments with ‘Recurrent Spatio-Temporal Neural Network’ CNN architectures over the public BCI Competition IV-IIa dataset. From our experiments, we could observe statistically significant improvements on performance, compared to the competing methods with the conventional framework. We have also visualized learned convolutional weights in terms of activation pattern maps, separability of extracted features, and validity of generated artificial samples.","PeriodicalId":345970,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Winter Conference on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130770335","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}

The delay time is critical when controlling the exoskeleton robots with EEG decoders online (real-time). In this research, we propose spatio-spectral convolutional neural networks with relatively short segment of EEG data (0.2s) having 83.4% accuracy on gait state recognition.

Therefore, many methods for the detection of pilot cognitive states have been proposed in previous studies.

However, each study investigated only one kind of state. Also, they did not consider the feature optimization for each subject. In this paper, we propose a method for the recognition of pilot’s diversified mental states during simulated flight. The method selects the most fitted features for each subject based on the statistical analysis. The results show that the proposed method is superior to previous methods.

However, when used in reality, devices controlled by BCIs may often react differently from what the user intended due to noise and other factors resulting in misclassification. In such cases, error-related potentials (ErrPs) may be evoked and can be captured from the user’s neural signals. Detection of these ErrPs can then be used to recognize and correct erroneous responses. In this research, we have created a graphical application in which the user drives a virtual car from a first-person perspective.

We found the optimal conditions for detecting ErrPs by comparing the performances of the algorithms in terms of the resampling rate, spatial domain, and temporal domain. The best sample size was obtained at a resampling rate of 21 Hz. In the spatial domain, using the data from 8 or 16 channels provided better performance compared to using a higher number of channels.

A BCI is expected to classify day-to-day life activities like grabbing and lifting a glass of water. Currently, motor imagery based BCI for two closely separated muscle groups like grabbing and lifting an object has not been studied. Challenge of classifying motor imagery of these activities accurately could be solved by using individual BCI. We proposed to achieve the same by using a neural network (machine learning) classifier on high resolution (129 channel) EEG data evaluated continuously every 80ms after spatial filtering using spherical Laplacian. This study employed a motor imagery based BCI optimized for individual subjects (n=28) using EEG data of actual movement for classifying motor imagery of grab, lift and grab+lift of right forearm. A three layered neural network with two output nodes was created for classifying the motor imagery using power of 8–14 Hz band of 500 ms EEG data. This BCI was able to classify motor imagery with 95.65% accuracy. In continuous evaluation, BCI showed a True Positive Rate of 24.89% and False Positive Rate of 12.93%. The percentage of correctly classified motor imagery in each trial was 84.99%, 72.23%, 17.07% for grab, lift and combined respectively. In conclusion, the current BCI was able to classify the motor imagery of grab, lift and grab+lift successfully based on EEG of movement data without any prior training of motor imagery based on last 500ms of data.","PeriodicalId":345970,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Winter Conference on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123341073","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}
