The argument is based upon experimental evidence gathered from five separate studies. First, we focus on spatial representations and demonstrate that, given time pressure, information on the spatial orientation of houses, independent of a participant's own location, is best retrieved when it directly relates to potential actions. Thus providing evidence that even spatial representations code information in a manner directly related to the action. Next, we discuss the concept of representations as such. Using the example of face processing in the human visual system, we argue that the concept of representations should be confined to cases where neuronal activity contains explicit information on the variable of interest and, in turn, that this variable explains the complete part of the explainable variance, i.e. reaches the noise limit. Next, to push towards an investigation of cognition under natural conditions we present a benchmark test of mobile and research-grade EEG systems. Specifically, we demonstrate that the variance over systems contributes a significant part to the total variance of recorded event related potentials. As a next step, using Independent Component Analysis of EEG data we demonstrate that in cognitive tasks some independent components systematically relate to sensory processing as well as to action execution. This supports theories of the common coding theory and, thus, a mechanistic part of the embodied cognition framework. Finally, we demonstrate a real world application investigating face processing in the form of the N170 event related potential during natural visual exploration in a fully mobile setup. This technique allows investigating the physiological basis of cognitive processes under real world conditions. In this presentation we argue that understanding cognitive processes will need to consider the (inter)actions in the natural environment.","PeriodicalId":6537,"journal":{"name":"2018 6th International Conference on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)","volume":"15 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87768042","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}

We recorded the monkey's cortical signal while the bimanual task, and convert to spectrogram dataset for decoding. To evaluate the CNN, we stacked several layers for deep structure and figured out the best configuration.

The morphological analysis of the ABP signal allows researchers to identify important information such as cardiovascular system and psychopathology. Detection of onset, which is the most important landmark in the ABP waveform, is essential for morphology analysis of ABP. Since the physiological signal is vulnerable to the risk of contamination, the robust onset detection method is needed. This study proposed a pulse onset detection method based on Monte Carlo approach that is robust from artifacts. The 10 cases of ABP signals were analyzed to detect signal onset. When we assessed the time difference from the actual onset, there was an average error of 2.4μs. The results suggested that the proposed method could achieve robustness in pulse detection and facilitated pulse wave analysis using clinical recordings with various artifacts.","PeriodicalId":6537,"journal":{"name":"2018 6th International Conference on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)","volume":"2 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81955605","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 this study, we attempted to predict the somatosensory property of tactile stimulus as well as the movement trajectory and type using elctrocorticography (ECoG) signals. We showed that 1) single-trial 3-D movement trajectory can be estimated from low-frequency ECoG signals with relatively high performance, 2) high-gamma activity can be a robust feature for movement type classification, and 3) the location of pressure stimulation can be classified by macro ECoG signals from sensory-related cortical areas.

As the current BMI technology has several obstacles to overcome, additional sources of brain activity need to be explored. It seems plausible that the brain activity associated with top-down cognitive functions could open a new prospect in the field of BMIs. As top-down cognitive BMIs could exploit neural signals from more diverse networks, a deep-learning approach with complex hidden layers may provide a more optimal decoding performance. In this study, using our top-down steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) paradigm (N = 20), we observed that the decoding accuracy (48.42%) of a deep-learning algorithm with a sigmoid activation function was significantly higher than that of regularized linear discriminant analysis (rLDA) with shrinkage (42.52%; t(19) = −3.183, p < 0.01), used in our previous study. Therefore, a deep-learning approach seems to be more optimized for classification in the top-down cognitive BMI paradigm.","PeriodicalId":6537,"journal":{"name":"2018 6th International Conference on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)","volume":"75 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77071033","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}
