In general, ERPs are <math><mo>~</mo> <mn>1</mn> <mi>μ</mi> <mtext>V</mtext></math> signals embedded in the background of much stronger neural oscillations, and thus they are traditionally extracted by averaging hundreds of trial responses so that the neural oscillations can cancel out each other. However, often in cognitive science experiments, it is difficult to administer large number of trials due to physical constraints. Additionally, these excessive averaging can also blur fine structures of the ERPs signals, which might otherwise be indicative of various intrinsic factors. Here we propose to model the background oscillations using a novel oscillation state-space representation and identify their time-traces in a data-driven way. This allows us to effectively separate the oscillations from the response signals of interest, thus improving the signal-to-noise of the evoked response, and eventually increasing trial fidelity. We also consider a random-walk like continuity constraint for the ERP waveforms to recover smooth, de-noised estimates. We employ a generalized expectation maximization algorithm for estimating the model parameters, and then infer the approximate posterior distribution of ERP waveforms. We demonstrate the reduced reliance of our proposed ERP extraction technique via a simulation study. Finally, we showcase how the extracted ERPs using our method can be more informative than the traditional average-based ERPs when analyzing EEG data in cognitive task settings with fewer trials.</p>","PeriodicalId":72692,"journal":{"name":"Conference record.

Deep learning methods have been utilized in and have achieved a lot of successes in various applications involving wearables fields. However, wearable sensor data has unique issues related to sensitivity and variability between subjects, and dependency on sampling-rate for analysis. To mitigate these issues, a different type of analysis using topological data analysis has shown promise as well. Topological data analysis (TDA) captures robust features, such as persistence images (PI), in complex data through the persistent homology algorithm, which holds the promise of boosting machine learning performance. However, because of the computational load required by TDA methods for large-scale data, integration and implementation has lagged behind. Further, many applications involving wearables require models to be compact enough to allow deployment on edge-devices. In this context, knowledge distillation (KD) has been widely applied to generate a small model (student model), using a pre-trained high-capacity network (teacher model). In this paper, we propose a new KD strategy using two teacher models - one that uses the raw time-series and another that uses persistence images from the time-series. These two teachers then train a student using KD. In essence, the student learns from heterogeneous teachers providing different knowledge. To consider different properties in features from teachers, we apply an annealing strategy and adaptive temperature in KD. Finally, a robust student model is distilled, which utilizes the time series data only. We find that incorporation of persistence features via second teacher leads to significantly improved performance. This approach provides a unique way of fusing deep-learning with topological features to develop effective models.</p>","PeriodicalId":72692,"journal":{"name":"Conference record.

We presented alternating natural scenes and uniform field white noise stimuli designed to engage slow contrast adaptation. To overcome difficulties fitting slow and fast dynamics together, we first optimized all fast spatiotemporal parameters, then separately optimized recurrent slow synaptic parameters. The resulting full model reproduces a wide range of retinal computations and is mechanistically interpretable, having internal units that correspond to retinal interneurons with biophysically modeled synapses.

To address this issue, we propose a multivariate stochastic volatility model for estimating DFC inspired by recent work in econometrics research. This model assumes a state-space framework where the correlation dynamics of a multivariate normal observation sequence is governed by a positive-definite matrix-variate latent process. Using this statistical model within a sequential Bayesian estimation framework, we use blood oxygenation level dependent activity from multiple brain regions to estimate posterior distributions on the correlation trajectory. We demonstrate the utility of this DFC estimation framework by analyzing its performance on simulated data, and by estimating correlation dynamics in resting state fMRI data from a patient with a disorder of consciousness (DoC).
