  • Design and preliminary application of outdoor flying pigeon-robot

    Control at beyond-visual ranges is of great significance to animal-robots with wide range motion capability. For pigeon-robots, such control can be done by the way of onboard preprogram, but not constitute a closed-loop yet. This study designed a new control system for pigeon-robots, which integrated the function of trajectory monitoring to that of brain stimulation. It achieved the closed-loop control in turning or circling by estimating pigeons’ flight state instantaneously and the corresponding logical regulation. The stimulation targets located at the formation reticularis medialis mesencephali (FRM) in the left and right brain, for the purposes of left- and right-turn control, respectively. The stimulus was characterized by the waveform mimicking the nerve cell membrane potential, and was activated intermittently. The wearable control unit weighted 11.8 g totally. The results showed a 90% success rate by the closed-loop control in pigeon-robots. It was convenient to obtain the wing shape during flight maneuver, by equipping a pigeon-robot with a vivo camera. It was also feasible to regulate the evolution of pigeon flocks by the pigeon-robots at different hierarchical level. All of these lay the groundwork for the application of pigeon-robots in scientific researches.

  • Evaluation methods for the rehabilitation efficacy of bidirectional closed-loop motor imagery brain-computer interface active rehabilitation training systems

    The bidirectional closed-loop motor imagery brain-computer interface (MI-BCI) is an emerging method for active rehabilitation training of motor dysfunction, extensively tested in both laboratory and clinical settings. However, no standardized method for evaluating its rehabilitation efficacy has been established, and relevant literature remains limited. To facilitate the clinical translation of bidirectional closed-loop MI-BCI, this article first introduced its fundamental principles, reviewed the rehabilitation training cycle and methods for evaluating rehabilitation efficacy, and summarized approaches for evaluating system usability, user satisfaction and usage. Finally, the challenges associated with evaluating the rehabilitation efficacy of bidirectional closed-loop MI-BCI were discussed, aiming to promote its broader adoption and standardization in clinical practice.

  • A Novel Method of Multi-channel Feature Extraction Combining Multivariate Autoregression and Multiple-linear Principal Component Analysis

    Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems identify brain signals through extracting features from them. In view of the limitations of the autoregressive model feature extraction method and the traditional principal component analysis to deal with the multichannel signals, this paper presents a multichannel feature extraction method that multivariate autoregressive (MVAR) model combined with the multiple-linear principal component analysis (MPCA), and used for magnetoencephalography (MEG) signals and electroencephalograph (EEG) signals recognition. Firstly, we calculated the MVAR model coefficient matrix of the MEG/EEG signals using this method, and then reduced the dimensions to a lower one, using MPCA. Finally, we recognized brain signals by Bayes Classifier. The key innovation we introduced in our investigation showed that we extended the traditional single-channel feature extraction method to the case of multi-channel one. We then carried out the experiments using the data groups ofⅣ_ⅢandⅣ_Ⅰ. The experimental results proved that the method proposed in this paper was feasible.

  • Research on the Methods for Electroencephalogram Feature Extraction Based on Blind Source Separation

    In the present investigation, we studied four methods of blind source separation/independent component analysis (BSS/ICA), AMUSE, SOBI, JADE, and FastICA. We did the feature extraction of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals of brain computer interface (BCI) for classifying spontaneous mental activities, which contained four mental tasks including imagination of left hand, right hand, foot and tongue movement. Different methods of extract physiological components were studied and achieved good performance. Then, three combined methods of SOBI and FastICA for extraction of EEG features of motor imagery were proposed. The results showed that combining of SOBI and ICA could not only reduce various artifacts and noise but also localize useful source and improve accuracy of BCI. It would improve further study of physiological mechanisms of motor imagery.

  • A Feature Extraction Method for Brain Computer Interface Based on Multivariate Empirical Mode Decomposition

    This paper presents a feature extraction method based on multivariate empirical mode decomposition (MEMD) combining with the power spectrum feature, and the method aims at the non-stationary electroencephalogram (EEG) or magnetoencephalogram (MEG) signal in brain-computer interface (BCI) system. Firstly, we utilized MEMD algorithm to decompose multichannel brain signals into a series of multiple intrinsic mode function (IMF), which was proximate stationary and with multi-scale. Then we extracted and reduced the power characteristic from each IMF to a lower dimensions using principal component analysis (PCA). Finally, we classified the motor imagery tasks by linear discriminant analysis classifier. The experimental verification showed that the correct recognition rates of the two-class and four-class tasks of the BCI competitionⅢand competitionⅣreached 92.0% and 46.2%, respectively, which were superior to the winner of the BCI competition. The experimental proved that the proposed method was reasonably effective and stable and it would provide a new way for feature extraction.

  • Application of Semi-supervised Sparse Representation Classifier Based on Help Training in EEG Classification

    Electroencephalogram (EEG) classification for brain-computer interface (BCI) is a new way of realizing human-computer interreaction. In this paper the application of semi-supervised sparse representation classifier algorithms based on help training to EEG classification for BCI is reported. Firstly, the correlation information of the unlabeled data is obtained by sparse representation classifier and some data with high correlation selected. Secondly, the boundary information of the selected data is produced by discriminative classifier, which is the Fisher linear classifier. The final unlabeled data with high confidence are selected by a criterion containing the information of distance and direction. We applied this novel method to the three benchmark datasets, which were BCIⅠ, BCIⅡ_Ⅳ and USPS. The classification rate were 97%,82% and 84.7%, respectively. Moreover the fastest arithmetic rate was just about 0.2 s. The classification rate and efficiency results of the novel method are both better than those of S3VM and SVM, proving that the proposed method is effective.

  • A spatial-temporal hybrid feature extraction method for rapid serial visual presentation of electroencephalogram signals

    Rapid serial visual presentation-brain computer interface (RSVP-BCI) is the most popular technology in the early discover task based on human brain. This algorithm can obtain the rapid perception of the environment by human brain. Decoding brain state based on single-trial of multichannel electroencephalogram (EEG) recording remains a challenge due to the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and nonstationary. To solve the problem of low classification accuracy of single-trial in RSVP-BCI, this paper presents a new feature extraction algorithm which uses principal component analysis (PCA) and common spatial pattern (CSP) algorithm separately in spatial domain and time domain, creating a spatial-temporal hybrid CSP-PCA (STHCP) algorithm. By maximizing the discrimination distance between target and non-target, the feature dimensionality was reduced effectively. The area under the curve (AUC) of STHCP algorithm is higher than that of the three benchmark algorithms (SWFP, CSP and PCA) by 17.9%, 22.2% and 29.2%, respectively. STHCP algorithm provides a new method for target detection.

  • Ethics considerations on brain-computer interface technology

    The development and potential application of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology is closely related to the human brain, so that the ethical regulation of BCI has become an important issue attracting the consideration of society. Existing literatures have discussed the ethical norms of BCI technology from the perspectives of non-BCI developers and scientific ethics, while few discussions have been launched from the perspective of BCI developers. Therefore, there is a great need to study and discuss the ethical norms of BCI technology from the perspective of BCI developers. In this paper, we present the user-centered and non-harmful BCI technology ethics, and then discuss and look forward on them. This paper argues that human beings can cope with the ethical issues arising from BCI technology, and as BCI technology develops, its ethical norms will be improved continuously. It is expected that this paper can provide thoughts and references for the formulation of ethical norms related to BCI technology.

  • Tensor Feature Extraction Using Multi-linear Principal Component Analysis for Brain Computer Interface

    The brain computer interface (BCI) can be used to control external devices directly through electroencephalogram (EEG) information. A multi-linear principal component analysis (MPCA) framework was used for the limitations of tensor form of multichannel EEG signals processing based on traditional principal component analysis (PCA) and two-dimensional principal component analysis (2DPCA). Based on MPCA, we used the projection of tensor-matrix to achieve the goal of dimensionality reduction and features exaction. Then we used the Fisher linear classifier to classify the features. Furthermore, we used this novel method on the BCI competitionⅡdataset 4 and BCI competitionⅣdataset 3 in the experiment. The second-order tensor representation of time-space EEG data and the third-order tensor representation of time-space-frequency EEG data were used. The best results that were superior to those from other dimensionality reduction methods were obtained by much debugging on parameter P and testQ. For two-order tensor, the highest accuracy rates could be achieved as 81.0% and 40.1%, and for three-order tensor, the highest accuracy rates were 76.0% and 43.5%, respectively.

  • Three-dimensional convolutional neural network based on spatial-spectral feature pictures learning for decoding motor imagery electroencephalography signal

    The brain-computer interface (BCI) based on motor imagery electroencephalography (EEG) shows great potential in neurorehabilitation due to its non-invasive nature and ease of use. However, motor imagery EEG signals have low signal-to-noise ratios and spatiotemporal resolutions, leading to low decoding recognition rates with traditional neural networks. To address this, this paper proposed a three-dimensional (3D) convolutional neural network (CNN) method that learns spatial-frequency feature maps, using Welch method to calculate the power spectrum of EEG frequency bands, converted time-series EEG into a brain topographical map with spatial-frequency information. A 3D network with one-dimensional and two-dimensional convolutional layers was designed to effectively learn these features. Comparative experiments demonstrated that the average decoding recognition rate reached 86.89%, outperforming traditional methods and validating the effectiveness of this approach in motor imagery EEG decoding.
