Addressing the vulnerability of contact-based keyboard password systems to disclosure,this paper proposes and validates the feasibility of a non-contact secure password system based on brain-computer interface(BCI)technology that detects steady-state visual evoked potential(SSVEP)signals.The system first lets a testee look at a digital stimulus source flashing at a specific frequency,and uses a wearable dry electrode sensor to collect the SSVEP signal.Secondly,a canonical correlation analysis method is applied to analyze the frequency of the stimulus source that the testee is looking at,and feeds back a code result through headphones.Finally,after all password codes are input,the system makes a judgment and provides visual feedback to the testee.Experiments were conducted to test the accuracy of the system,where twelve stimulus target frequencies between 10-16Hz were selected within the easily recognizable flicker frequency range of human brain,and each of them was tested for 12 times.The results demonstrate that this SSVEP-BCI-based system is feasible,achieving an average accuracy rate of 97.2%,and exhibits promising applications in various domains such as financial transactions and identity recognition.

Developments in biomedical science, signal processing technologies have led Electroencephalography (EEG) signals to be widely used in the diagnosis of brain disease and in the field of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). The collected EEG signals are processed using Machine Learning-Random Forest and Naive Bayes- and Deep Learning-Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), Neural Network (NN) and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM)-Algorithms to obtain the recent mood of a person. The Algorithms mentioned above have been imposed on the data set in order to find out what the person is feeling at a particular moment. The following thesis is conducted to find out one of the following moods (happy, surprised, disgust, fear, anger and sadness) of a person at an instant, with an aim to obtain the result with least amount of time delay as the mood differs. It is pretty obvious that the accuracy of the output varies depending upon the algorithm used, time taken to process the data, so that it is easy for us to compare the reliability and dependency of a particular algorithm to another, prior to its practical implementation. The imbalance data sets that were used had an imbalanced class and thus, over fitting occurred. This problem was handled by generating Artificial Data sets with the use of SMOTE Oversampling Technique.

The dorsolateral pre-frontal cortex bi-polar error-related potential in a locked-in patient implanted with a daily use brain–computer interface

While brain computer interfaces(BCIs)ofer the potential of allowing those sufering from loss of muscle control to once again fully engage with their environment by bypassing the afected motor system and decoding user intentions directly from brain activity,they are prone to errors.One possible avenue for BCI performance improvement is to detect when the BCI user perceives the BCI to have made an unintended action and thus take corrective actions.Error-related potentials(ErrPs)are neural correlates of error awareness and as such can provide an indication of when a BCI system is not performing according to the user’s intentions.Here,we investigate the brain signals of an implanted BCI user sufering from locked-in syndrome(LIS)due to late-stage ALS that prevents her from being able to speak or move but not from using her BCI at home on a daily basis to communicate,for the presence of error-related signals.We frst establish the presence of an ErrP originating from the dorsolateral pre-frontal cortex(dLPFC)in response to errors made during a discrete feedback task that mimics the click-based spelling software she uses to communicate.Then,we show that this ErrP can also be elicited by cursor movement errors in a continuous BCI cursor control task.This work represents a frst step toward detecting ErrPs during the daily home use of a communications BCI.

Intelligent Machine Learning Based EEG Signal Classification Model

In recent years,Brain-Computer Interface(BCI)system gained much popularity since it aims at establishing the communication between human brain and computer.BCI systems are applied in several research areas such as neuro-rehabilitation,robots,exoeskeletons,etc.Electroencephalography(EEG)is a technique commonly applied in capturing brain signals.It is incorporated in BCI systems since it has attractive features such as noninvasive nature,high time-resolution output,mobility and cost-effective.EEG classification process is highly essential in decision making process and it incorporates different processes namely,feature extraction,feature selection,and classification.With this motivation,the current research paper presents an Intelligent Optimal Fuzzy Support Vector Machine-based EEC recognition(IOFSVM-EEG)model for BCI system.Independent Component Analysis(ICA)technique is applied onto the proposed IOFSVM-EEG model to remove the artefacts that exist in EEG signal and to retain the meaningful EEG information.Besides,Common Spatial Pattern(CSP)-based feature extraction technique is utilized to derive a helpful set of feature vectors from the preprocessed EEG signals.Moreover,OFSVM method is applied in the classification of EEG signals,in which the parameters involved in FSVM are optimally tuned using Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm(GOA).In order to validate the enhanced EEG recognition outcomes of the proposed IOFSVM-EEG model,an extensive set of experiments was conducted.The outcomes were examined under distinct aspects.The experimental results highlighted the enhanced performance of the presented IOFSVM-EEG model over other state-of-the-art methods.

Online prediction of EEG based on KRLST algorithm

Kernel adaptive algorithm is an extension of adaptive algorithm in nonlinear,and widely used in the field of non-stationary signal processing.But the distribution of classic data sets seems relatively regular and simple in time series.The distribution of the electroencephalograph(EEG)signal is more randomness and non-stationarity,so online prediction of EEG signal can further verify the robustness and applicability of kernel adaptive algorithms.What’s more,the purpose of modeling and analyzing the time series of EEG signals is to discover and extract valuable information,and to reveal the internal relations of EEG signals.The time series prediction of EEG plays an important role in EEG time series analysis.In this paper,kernel RLS tracker(KRLST)is presented to online predict the EEG signals of motor imagery and compared with other 13 kernel adaptive algorithms.The experimental results show that KRLST algorithm has the best effect on the brain computer interface(BCI)dataset.

BIO‐inspired fuzzy inference system—For physiological signal analysis

When a person's neuromuscular system is affected by an injury or disease,Activities‐for‐Daily‐Living(ADL),such as gripping,turning,and walking,are impaired.Electroen-cephalography(EEG)and Electromyography(EMG)are physiological signals generated by a body during neuromuscular activities embedding the intentions of the subject,and they are used in Brain–Computer Interface(BCI)or robotic rehabilitation systems.However,existing BCI or robotic rehabilitation systems use signal classification technique limitations such as(1)missing temporal correlation of the EEG and EMG signals in the entire window and(2)overlooking the interrelationship between different sensors in the system.Furthermore,typical existing systems are designed to operate based on the presence of dominant physiological signals associated with certain actions;(3)their effectiveness will be greatly reduced if subjects are disabled in generating the dominant signals.A novel classification model,named BIOFIS is proposed,which fuses signals from different sensors to generate inter‐channel and intra‐channel relationships.It ex-plores the temporal correlation of the signals within a timeframe via a Long Short‐Term Memory(LSTM)block.The proposed architecture is able to classify the various subsets of a full‐range arm movement that performs actions such as forward,grip and raise,lower and release,and reverse.The system can achieve 98.6%accuracy for a 4‐way action using EEG data and 97.18%accuracy using EMG data.Moreover,even without the dominant signal,the accuracy scores were 90.1%for the EEG data and 85.2%for the EMG data.The proposed mechanism shows promise in the design of EEG/EMG‐based use in the medical device and rehabilitation industries.

Multiband decomposition and spectral discriminative analysis for motor imagery BCI via deep neural network

Human limb movement imagery,which can be used in limb neural disorders rehabilitation and brain-controlled external devices,has become a significant control paradigm in the domain of brain-computer interface(BCI).Although numerous pioneering studies have been devoted to motor imagery classification based on electroencephalography(EEG)signal,their performance is somewhat limited due to insufficient analysis of key effective frequency bands of EEG signals.In this paper,we propose a model of multiband decomposition and spectral discriminative analysis for motor imagery classification,which is called variational sample-long short term memory(VS-LSTM)network.Specifically,we first use a channel fusion operator to reduce the signal channels of the raw EEG signal.Then,we use the variational mode decomposition(VMD)model to decompose the EEG signal into six band-limited intrinsic mode functions(BIMFs)for further signal noise reduction.In order to select discriminative frequency bands,we calculate the sample entropy(SampEn)value of each frequency band and select the maximum value.Finally,to predict the classification of motor imagery,a LSTM model is used to predict the class of frequency band with the largest SampEn value.An open-access public data is used to evaluated the effectiveness of the proposed model.In the data,15 subjects performed motor imagery tasks with elbow flexion/extension,forearm supination/pronation and hand open/close of right upper limb.The experiment results show that the average classification result of seven kinds of motor imagery was 76.2%,the average accuracy of motor imagery binary classification is 96.6%(imagery vs.rest),respectively,which outperforms the state-of-the-art deep learning-based models.This framework significantly improves the accuracy of motor imagery by selecting effective frequency bands.This research is very meaningful for BCIs,and it is inspiring for end-to-end learning research.

EEG-based Emotion Recognition Using Multiple Kernel Learning

Emotion recognition based on electroencephalography(EEG)has a wide range of applications and has great potential value,so it has received increasing attention from academia and industry in recent years.Meanwhile,multiple kernel learning(MKL)has also been favored by researchers for its data-driven convenience and high accuracy.However,there is little research on MKL in EEG-based emotion recognition.Therefore,this paper is dedicated to exploring the application of MKL methods in the field of EEG emotion recognition and promoting the application of MKL methods in EEG emotion recognition.Thus,we proposed a support vector machine(SVM)classifier based on the MKL algorithm EasyMKL to investigate the feasibility of MKL algorithms in EEG-based emotion recognition problems.We designed two data partition methods,random division to verify the validity of the MKL method and sequential division to simulate practical applications.Then,tri-categorization experiments were performed for neutral,negative and positive emotions based on a commonly used dataset,the Shanghai Jiao Tong University emotional EEG dataset(SEED).The average classification accuracies for random division and sequential division were 92.25%and 74.37%,respectively,which shows better classification performance than the traditional single kernel SVM.The final results show that the MKL method is obviously effective,and the application of MKL in EEG emotion recognition is worthy of further study.Through the analysis of the experimental results,we discovered that the simple mathematical operations of the features on the symmetrical electrodes could not effectively integrate the spatial information of the EEG signals to obtain better performance.It is also confirmed that higher frequency band information is more correlated with emotional state and contributes more to emotion recognition.In summary,this paper explores research on MKL methods in the field of EEG emotion recognition and provides a new way of thinking for EEG-based emotion recognition research.
