ABSTRACTWhen listening to music, the brain generates a neural response that follows the amplitude envelope of the musical sound. Previous studies have shown that it is possible to decode this envelope-following response from electroencephalography (EEG) data during music perception. However, a successful decoding and recognition of imagined music, without the physical presentation of a music stimulus, has not been established to date. During music imagination, the human brain internally replays a musical sound, which naturally leads to the hypothesis that a similar envelope-following response might be generated. In this study, we demonstrate that this response is indeed present during music imagination and that it can be decoded from EEG data. Furthermore, we show that the decoded envelope allows for classification of imagined music in a song recognition task, containing tracks with lyrics as well as purely instrumental tasks. A two-song classifier achieves a median accuracy of 95%, while a 12-song classifier achieves a median accuracy of 66.7%. The results of this study demonstrate the feasibility of decoding imagined music, thereby setting the stage for new neuroscientific experiments in this area as well as for new types of brain-computer interfaces based on music imagination.

To explore whether the brain contains pattern differences in the rock–paper–scissors (RPS) imagery task, this paper attempts to classify this task using fNIRS and deep learning. In this study, we designed an RPS task with a total duration of 25 min and 40 s, and recruited 22 volunteers for the experiment. We used the fNIRS acquisition device (FOIRE-3000) to record the cerebral neural activities of these participants in the RPS task. The time series classification (TSC) algorithm was introduced into the time-domain fNIRS signal classification. Experiments show that CNN-based TSC methods can achieve 97% accuracy in RPS classification. CNN-based TSC method is suitable for the classification of fNIRS signals in RPS motor imagery tasks, and may find new application directions for the development of brain–computer interfaces (BCI).

In recent years, a vast research is concentrated towards the development of electroencephalography (EEG)-based human-computer interface in order to enhance the quality of life for medical as well as nonmedical applications. The EEG is an important measurement of brain activity and has great potential in helping in the diagnosis and treatment of mental and brain neuro-degenerative diseases and abnormalities. In this chapter, the authors discuss the classification of EEG signals as a key issue in biomedical research for identification and evaluation of the brain activity. Identification of various types of EEG signals is a complicated problem, requiring the analysis of large sets of EEG data. Representative features from a large dataset play an important role in classifying EEG signals in the field of biomedical signal processing. So, to reduce the above problem, this research uses three methods to classify through feature extraction and classification schemes.

The brain-computer-interfaces (BCI) can also be referred towards a mindmachine interface that can provide a non-muscular communication channel in between the computer device and human brain. To measure the brain activity, electroencephalography (EEG) has been widely utilized in the applications of BCI to work system in real-time. It has been analyzed that the identification probability performed with other methodologies do not provide optimal classification accuracy. Therefore, it is required to focus on the process of feature extraction to achieve maximum classification accuracy. In this paper, a novel process of data-driven spatial has been proposed to improve the detection of steady state visually evoked potentials (SSVEPs) at BCI. Here, EACA has been proposed, which can develop the reproducibility of SSVEP across many trails. Further this can be utilized to improve the SSVEP from a noisy data signal by eliminating the activities of EEG background. In the simulation process, the SSVEP dataset recorded from given 11 subjects are considered. To validate the performance, the state-of-art method is considered to compare with the EDCA based proposed approach.

The brain-computer interface is one of the emerging fields of human-computer interaction due to its broad spectrum of applications, especially those that deal with human cognition. In this work, electroencephalography (EEG) is used as base data for classifying the state of the eyes (open or closed) by applying Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks and variants. For benchmarking purposes, the EEG data set with the eye state record was used, available in the Machine Learning repository at UCI. The results obtained indicated that the LSTM and GRU bidirectional cells models are applicable to the classification of the data, presenting an accuracy greater than 95%, and that its performance is good compared to the more expensive models computationally.

AbstractThe classification of motor imagery electroencephalogram (MI-EEG) is a pivotal part of the biosignal classification in the brain-computer interface (BCI) applications. Currently, this bio-engineering based technology is being employed by researchers in various fields to develop cutting edge applications. The classification of real-time MI-EEG signal is the core computing and challenging task in these applications. It is well-known that the existing classification methods are not so accurate due to the high dimensionality and dynamic behaviors of the real-time EEG data. To improve the classification performance of real-time BCI applications, this paper presents a clustering-based ensemble technique and a developed brain game that distinguishes different human thoughts. At first, we have gathered the brain signals, extracted and selected informative features from these signals to generate training and testing sets. After that, we have constructed several classifiers using Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), naïve Bayes, Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest, Bagging, AdaBoost and compared the performance of these existing approaches with suggested clustering-based ensemble technique. On average, the proposed ensemble technique improved the classification accuracy of roughly 5 to 15% compared to the existing methods. Finally, we have developed the targeted brain game employing our suggested ensemble technique. In this game, real-time EEG signal classification and prediction tabulation through animated ball are controlled via threads. By playing this game, users can control the movements of the balls via the brain signals of motor imagery movements without using any traditional input devices. All relevant codes are available via open repository at: https://github.com/mrzResearchArena/MI-EEG.

In this study, we investigated the stages of information processing in associative recognition. We recorded EEG data while participants performed an associative recognition task that involved manipulations of word length, associative fan, and probe type, which were hypothesized to affect the perceptual encoding, retrieval, and decision stages of the recognition task, respectively. Analyses of the behavioral and EEG data, supplemented with classification of the EEG data using machine-learning techniques, provided evidence that generally supported the sequence of stages assumed by a computational model developed in the Adaptive Control of Thought-Rational cognitive architecture. However, the results suggested a more complex relationship between memory retrieval and decision-making than assumed by the model. Implications of the results for modeling associative recognition are discussed. The study illustrates how a classifier approach, in combination with focused manipulations, can be used to investigate the timing of processing stages.

In Science and Technology Development BCI plays a vital role in the field of Research. Classification is a data mining technique used to predict group membership for data instances. Analyses of BCI data are challenging because feature extraction and classification of these data are more difficult as compared with those applied to raw data. In this paper, We extracted features using statistical Haralick features from the raw EEG data . Then the features are Normalized, Binning is used to improve the accuracy of the predictive models by reducing noise and eliminate some irrelevant attributes and then the classification is performed using different classification techniques such as Naïve Bayes, k-nearest neighbor classifier, SVM classifier using BCI dataset. Finally we propose the SVM classification algorithm for the BCI data set.

AbstractBrain tumor is a group of anomalous cells. The brain is enclosed in a more rigid skull. The abnormal cell grows and initiates a tumor. Detection of tumor is a complicated task due to irregular tumor shape. The proposed technique contains four phases, which are lesion enhancement, feature extraction and selection for classification, localization, and segmentation. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images are noisy due to certain factors, such as image acquisition, and fluctuation in magnetic field coil. Therefore, a homomorphic wavelet filer is used for noise reduction. Later, extracted features from inceptionv3 pre-trained model and informative features are selected using a non-dominated sorted genetic algorithm (NSGA). The optimized features are forwarded for classification after which tumor slices are passed to YOLOv2-inceptionv3 model designed for the localization of tumor region such that features are extracted from depth-concatenation (mixed-4) layer of inceptionv3 model and supplied to YOLOv2. The localized images are passed toMcCulloch'sKapur entropy method to segment actual tumor region. Finally, the proposed technique is validated on three benchmark databases BRATS 2018, BRATS 2019, and BRATS 2020 for tumor detection. The proposed method achieved greater than 0.90 prediction scores in localization, segmentation and classification of brain lesions. Moreover, classification and segmentation outcomes are superior as compared to existing methods.
