Conventional passive lower limb rehabilitation is suboptimal since the brain is not actively involved in the training. An autonomous motor imagery brain-computer interface (MI-BCI) could potentially improve rehabilitation outcomes. However, motor cortex regions associated with the individual feet are anatomically close to each other. This presents a difficulty in distinguishing the left and right foot MI during rehabilitation therapy. To overcome this difficulty, we extracted functional connectivity to measure the global cortical network via electroencephalography (EEG) signals. Fourteen spatial connections (P3-Fp1, P3-F3, P3-F7, P3-C3, T5-F7, T5-C3, T5-T3, Fp2-T5, Fp2-P3, T6-Fp2, T6-T4, Cz-Fp1, Cz-F7 and Fp2-F7) found across twelve subjects significantly differed between the left and right foot MI, evidencing nonlocalized brain activity during MI. Foot MI were distinguished using machine learning algorithms in terms of the time- and frequency-domain connectivities extracted from Pearson & x2019;s correlation, multivariate autoregression (MVAR), bandpass correlation, and partial directed coherence (PDC) models. The results showed that connectivity extracted by pairwise Pearson & x2019;s correlation could be distinguished with 86.26 & x00B1; 9.95 & x0025;, while in the frequency-domain, the gamma band presented the best classification accuracy of 73.55 & x00B1; 17.11 & x0025;. We attempted to simulate asynchronous real-time classification paradigms in order to evaluate the classification performance of connectivity features compared to common spatial pattern (CSP) and band power (BP). The results indicate correlation-connectivity has the best outcome, attaining an accuracy of 80.75 & x00B1; 9.51 & x0025; in asynchronous classification.

To facilitate the transition of brain-computer interface (BCI) systems from laboratory settings to real-world application, it is very important to minimize or even completely eliminate the subject-specific calibration requirement. There has been active research on calibrationless BCI systems for classification applications, e.g., P300 speller. To our knowledge, there is no literature on calibrationless BCI systems for regression applications, e.g., estimating the continuous drowsiness level of a driver from EEG signals. This paper proposes a novel spectral meta-learner for regression (SMLR) approach, which optimally combines base regression models built from labeled data from auxiliary subjects to label offline EEG data from a new subject. Experiments on driver drowsiness estimation from EEG signals demonstrate that SMLR significantly outperforms three state-of-the-art regression model fusion approaches. Although we introduce SMLR as a regression model fusion in the BCI domain, we believe its applicability is far beyond that.

Ensemble learning is a powerful approach to construct a strong learner from multiple base learners. The most popular way to aggregate an ensemble of classifiers is majority voting, which assigns a sample to the class that most base classifiers vote for. However, improved performance can be obtained by assigning weights to the base classifiers according to their accuracy. This paper proposes an agreement rate initialized maximum likelihood estimator (ARIMLE) to optimally fuse the base classifiers. ARIMLE first uses a simplified agreement rate method to estimate the classification accuracy of each base classifier from the unlabeled samples, then employs the accuracies to initialize a maximum likelihood estimator (MLE), and finally uses the expectation-maximization algorithm to refine the MLE. Extensive experiments on visually evoked potential classification in a brain-computer interface application show that ARIMLE outperforms majority voting, and also achieves better or comparable performance with several other state-of-the-art classifier combination approaches.

One big challenge that hinders the transition of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) from laboratory settings to real-life applications is the availability of high-performance and robust learning algorithms that can effectively handle individual differences, i.e., algorithms that can be applied to a new subject with zero or very little subject-specific calibration data. Transfer learning and domain adaptation have been extensively used for this purpose. However, most previous works focused on classification problems. This paper considers an important regression problem in BCI, namely, online driver drowsiness estimation fromEEG signals. By integrating fuzzy sets with domain adaptation, we propose a novel online weighted adaptation regularization for regression (OwARR) algorithm to reduce the amount of subject-specific calibration data, and also a source domain selection (SDS) approach to save about half of the computational cost of OwARR. Using a simulated driving dataset with 15 subjects, we show that OwARR and OwARR-SDS can achieve significantly smaller estimation errors than several other approaches. We also provide comprehensive analyses on the robustness of OwARR and OwARR-SDS.

Brain-computer interface (BCI) has shown explosive growth for multiple applications in the recently years. Removing artifacts and selecting useful brain sources are essential in BCI research. Independent Component Analysis (ICA) has been proven as an effective technique to remove artifacts and many brain related researches are based on ICA. However, the useful independent components with brain sources are usually selected manually according to the scalp-plots. This is great inconvenience and a barrier for real-time BCI applications of EEG. In this investigation, a two-layer automatic identification model is proposed to select useful brain sources. It is based on neural network including support vector machine with radial basis function (SVMRBF) and self-organizing map (SOM). In the first layer, SVM discriminates useful independent components from the artifact effectively. In the second layer, these selected useful components are automatically classified to different spatial brain sources according to SOM. This study suggests this model to one general application for EEG study. It can reduce the effect of subjective judgment and improve the performance of EEG analysis.

A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a communication system that can help users interact with the outside environment by translating brain signals into machine commands. The use of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals has become the most common approach for a BCI because of their usability and strong reliability. Many EEG-based BCI devices have been developed with traditional wet- or micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS)-type EEG sensors. However, those traditional sensors have uncomfortable disadvantage and require conductive gel and skin preparation on the part of the user. Therefore, acquiring the EEG signals in a comfortable and convenient manner is an important factor that should be incorporated into a novel BCI device. In the present study, a wearable, wireless and portable EEG-based BCI device with dry foam-based EEG sensors was developed and was demonstrated using a gaming control application. The dry EEG sensors operated without conductive gel; however, they were able to provide good conductivity and were able to acquire EEG signals effectively by adapting to irregular skin surfaces and by maintaining proper skin-sensor impedance on the forehead site. We have also demonstrated a real-time cognitive stage detection application of gaming control using the proposed portable device. The results of the present study indicate that using this portable EEG-based BCI device to conveniently and effectively control the outside world provides an approach for researching rehabilitation engineering.

Biomedical signal monitoring systems have rapidly advanced in recent years, propelled by significant advances in electronic and information technologies. Brain-computer interface (BCI) is one of the important research branches and has become a hot topic in the study of neural engineering, rehabilitation, and brain science. Traditionally, most BCI systems use bulky, wired laboratory-oriented sensing equipments to measure brain activity under well-controlled conditions within a confined space. Using bulky sensing equipments not only is uncomfortable and inconvenient for users, but also impedes their ability to perform routine tasks in daily operational environments. Furthermore, owing to large data volumes, signal processing of BCI systems is often performed off-line using high-end personal computers, hindering the applications of BCI in real-world environments. To be practical for routine use by unconstrained, freely-moving users, BCI systems must be noninvasive, nonintrusive, light-weight and capable of online signal processing. This work reviews recent online BCI systems, focusing especially on wearable, wireless and real-time systems. Copyright (C) 2009 S. Karger AG, Basel
