However, considerable inter-individual variability in evoked responses requires robust methods in order to realize effective, personalized pain management. These methods include artifact removal, feature extraction, classification, and prediction.<i>Approach.</i>We recorded ECAPs from eight participants with chronic pain undergoing an externalized trial with two percutaneous leads. The two most caudal electrodes were used for stimulation and the remaining electrodes were used for recording. Artifact-cleaned waveforms were clustered using principal component analysis and classified using a K-Nearest Neighbors classifier as non-ECAPs, ECAPs, or outlier (i.e. artifacts) to determine how well different features, including area under the curve (AUC) and peak-to-peak amplitude (P2P), discriminate between waveform classes. Finally, we used generalized linear mixed effects models to predict evoked response features and the probability of observing artifacts or ECAPs following individual stimulation pulses for different stimulation amplitudes, pulse widths, and polarities.<i>Main results.</i>AUC was better at discriminating between ECAPs and non-ECAPs than P2P (<i>d</i>' = 2.44 vs<i>d</i>' = 2.27) while most features were good at discriminating between ECAPs and artifacts (<i>d</i>' > 1.5). The application of an optimal AUC threshold was then used to analyze individual ECAPs at different stimulation amplitudes, pulse widths, and polarities. Interestingly, ECAPs could be evoked using ∼1.25 mA less current when using participant-specific, preferred stimulation polarities.

Electroencephalography (EEG) is widely recognized as an effective method for detecting fatigue. However, practical applications of EEG for fatigue detection in real-world scenarios are often challenging, particularly in cases involving subjects not included in the training datasets, owing to bio-individual differences and noisy labels. This study aims to develop an effective framework for cross-subject fatigue detection by addressing these challenges.<i>Approach</i>. In this study, we propose a novel framework, termed DP-MP, for cross-subject fatigue detection, which utilizes a domain-adversarial neural network-based prototypical representation in conjunction with Mix-up pairwise learning. Our proposed DP-MP framework aims to mitigate the impact of bio-individual differences by encoding fatigue-related semantic structures within EEG signals and exploring shared fatigue prototype features across individuals. Notably, to the best of our knowledge, this work is the first to conceptualize fatigue detection as a pairwise learning task, thereby effectively reducing the interference from noisy labels. Furthermore, we propose the Mix-up pairwise learning (MixPa) approach in the field of fatigue detection, which broadens the advantages of pairwise learning by introducing more diverse and informative relationships among samples.<i>Main results</i>. Cross-subject experiments were conducted on two benchmark databases, SEED-VIG and FTEF, achieving state-of-the-art performance with average accuracies of 88.14%and 97.41%, respectively.

This is the first time EEG-based fatigue detection has been conceptualized as a pairwise learning task, offering a novel perspective to this field.
