Precise stimulation of sleep spindles-transient patterns of brain activity that occur during non rapid eye movement sleep that are involved in memory consolidation-presents an exciting frontier for studying memory functions; however, this endeavor is challenged by the spindles' fleeting nature, inter-individual variability, and the necessity of real-time detection. 
Methods: This paper introduces an approach to tackle these challenges, centered around a novel continual learning framework. Using a pre-trained model capable of both online classification of sleep stages and spindle detection, we implement an algorithm that refines spindle detection, tailoring it to the individual throughout one or more nights without manual intervention. 
Results: Our methodology achieves accurate, subject-specific targeting of sleep spindles and enables advanced closed-loop stimulation studies. 
Conclusion: While fine-tuning alone offers minimal benefits for single nights, our approach combining weight averaging demonstrates significant improvement over multiple nights, effectively mitigating catastrophic forgetting. 
Significance: This advancement represents a crucial step towards personalized closed-loop brain stimulation, potentially leading to a deeper understanding of sleep spindle functions and their role in memory consolidation.

These studies are crucial in uncovering the mechanisms of visual processing in the human brain. Electroencephalogram(EEG) signals have garnered widespread attention recently due to their noninvasive nature and low cost.

However, most traditional EEG classification algorithms are difficult to generalize to unseen classes that were not involved in the training phase.

Clinical studies gain insights into the perceptual characteristics of phosphenes through patient descriptions on provided stimulation protocols. However, the huge parameter space for multi-electrode stimulation makes it difficult to identify the optimality of the stimulation that lead to well-perceived phosphenes. A systematic search in the parameter space of the electrical stimulation is needed to achieve good perception. Bayesian optimization (BO) is a framework for finding optimal parameters efficiently. Using patient's perceptual feedback, a model of patient response based on iteratively generated stimulation protocols can be built to maximize perception quality.
Approach. A patient implanted with an intracortical 96-channel microelectrode array in their visual cortex was iteratively presented with stimulation protocols, generated via BO vs. random generation (RG) in two separate experiments. Whereas standard BO methods do not scale well to problems with over a dozen inputs, we optimize a set of 40 electrode currents using trust region-based BO. The protocols determine the electrodes to stimulate and with how much current (0-50 μA), on a total current limit of 500 μA. The patient rated each stimulation's perceptual quality on a Likert scale, where 7 indicated the highest quality and 0 no perception. 
Main results. The patient ratings gradually converged on higher values with BO, compared to the RG experiment. BO gradually generated protocols with higher total current, in line with the patient preference for higher currents due to brighter phosphenes. Electrodes previously observed as effective in producing phosphene perception were chosen more by BO also with higher current allocation.
Significance. This study demonstrates the power of BO in converging to optimal stimulation protocols based on patient feedback, providing an efficient search for stimulation parameters for clinical studies.NCT02983370.</p>","PeriodicalId":94096,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neural engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144556292","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}
