Purpose: Tinnitus is a common but obscure auditory disease to be studied. This study will determine whether the connectivity features in electroencephalography (EEG) signals can be used as the biomarkers for an efficient and fast diagnosis method for chronic tinnitus.Methods: In this study, the resting-state EEG signals of tinnitus patients with different tinnitus locations were recorded. Four connectivity features [including the Phase-locking value (PLV), Phase lag index (PLI), Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC), and Transfer entropy (TE)] and two time-frequency domain features in the EEG signals were extracted, and four machine learning algorithms, included two support vector machine models (SVM), a multi-layer perception network (MLP) and a convolutional neural network (CNN), were used based on the selected features to classify different possible tinnitus sources.Results: Classification accuracy was highest when the SVM algorithm or the MLP algorithm was applied to the PCC feature sets, achieving final average classification accuracies of 99.42 or 99.1%, respectively. And based on the PLV feature, the classification result was also particularly good. And MLP ran the fastest, with an average computing time of only 4.2 s, which was more suitable than other methods when a real-time diagnosis was required.Conclusion: Connectivity features of the resting-state EEG signals could characterize the differentiation of tinnitus location. The connectivity features (PCC and PLV) were more suitable as the biomarkers for the objective diagnosing of tinnitus. And the results were helpful for clinicians in the initial diagnosis of tinnitus.

The Impact

Abstract The study includes Graph Theoretic advanced EEG analysis in order to investigate the impact of pharmacological treatment with osmotic release oral system-methylphenidate for a month in 18 boys (aged between 7-12 years) with Attention-Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder, combined type. In analysis, neurofunctional dependency levels across the cortex are estimated by using six different connectivity estimation approaches based on three separate domains such as time (Pearson Correlation, Spearman Correlation), frequency (Directed Transfer Function, Partial Directed Coherence) and phase (Phase Locking Value, Phase Lag Index). All methods are examined for eyes-opened resting-state EEG segments of 2 sec over a single trial of 1 min in both pre- and post-treatment recordings. Then, five quantitative brain network indices of transitivity, clustering coefficients, assortativity, global efficiency and modularity are computed from connectivity estimations. Performance of connectivity estimators are compared to each other with respect to two-class classifications (pre-treatment features vs post-treatment features) by using Support Vector Machines driven by brain network indices. The highest classification accuracy of 80.74% is obtained with Pearson Correlation. Statistical one-way Anova test, pair-wise multiple comparison test and step-wise logistic regression modelling are all used to observe the most sensitive network index estimated from Pearson Correlations. In addition to quantitative results, statistical box-plots of the estimated network indices are shown graphically. When modularity index is excluded from the features, classification accuracy is increased to 83.79%. Overall results reveal that brain segregation and resilience are increased by the treatment. In particular, the most meaningful brain network measures can be estimated from time domain statistical correlations between resting-state eyes open EEG segments in order to understand the alterations in neuronal transmission mechanism across the cortex in response to a specific treatment in pediatric psychiatry.

Multifunctional flexible tactile sensors could be useful to improve the control of prosthetic hands. To that end, highly stretchable liquid metal tactile sensors (LMS) were designed, manufactured via photolithography, and incorporated into the fingertips of a prosthetic hand. Three novel contributions were made with the LMS. First, individual fingertips were used to distinguish between different speeds of sliding contact with different surfaces. Second, differences in surface textures were reliably detected during sliding contact. Third, the capacity for hierarchical tactile sensor integration was demonstrated by using four LMS signals simultaneously to distinguish between ten complex multi-textured surfaces. Four different machine learning algorithms were compared for their successful classification capabilities: K-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and neural network (NN). The time-frequency features of the LMSs were extracted to train and test the machine learning algorithms. The NN generally performed the best at the speed and texture detection with a single finger and had a 99.2 ± 0.8% accuracy to distinguish between ten different multi-textured surfaces using four LMSs from four fingers simultaneously. The capability for hierarchical multi-finger tactile sensation integration could be useful to provide a higher level of intelligence for artificial hands.

Synchrosqueezing Transform

Abstract The feasibility of using time–frequency (TF) ridges estimation is investigated on multi-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) signals for emotional recognition. Without decreasing accuracy rate of the valence/arousal recognition, the informative component extraction with low computational cost will be examined using multivariate ridge estimation. The advanced TF representation technique called multivariate synchrosqueezing transform (MSST) is used to obtain well-localized components of multi-channel EEG signals. Maximum-energy components in the 2D TF distribution are determined using TF-ridges estimation to extract instantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude, respectively. The statistical values of the estimated ridges are used as a feature vector to the inputs of machine learning algorithms. Thus, component information in multi-channel EEG signals can be captured and compressed into low dimensional space for emotion recognition. Mean and variance values of the five maximum-energy ridges in the MSST based TF distribution are adopted as feature vector. Properties of five TF-ridges in frequency and energy plane (e.g., mean frequency, frequency deviation, mean energy, and energy deviation over time) are computed to obtain 20-dimensional feature space. The proposed method is performed on the DEAP emotional EEG recordings for benchmarking, and the recognition rates are yielded up to 71.55, and 70.02% for high/low arousal, and high/low valence, respectively.

Abstract In this work, PD patients and healthy individuals were categorized with machine-learning algorithms. EEG signals associated with six different emotions, (Happiness(E1), Sadness(E2), Fear(E3), Anger(E4), Surprise,(E5) and disgust(E6)) were used for the study. EEG data were collected from 20 PD patients and 20 normal controls using multimodal stimuli. Different features were used to categorize emotional data. Emotional recognition in Parkinson’s disease (PD) has been investigated in three domains namely, time, frequency and time frequency using Entropy, Energy-Entropy and Teager Energy-Entropy features. Three classifiers namely, K-Nearest Neighbor Algorithm, Support Vector Machine and Probabilistic Neural Network were used to observethe classification results. Emotional EEG stimuli such as anger, surprise, happiness, sadness, fear, and disgust were used to categorize PD patients and healthy controls (HC). For each EEG signal, frequency features corresponding to alpha, beta and gamma bands were obtained for nine feature extraction methods (Entropy, Energy Entropy, Teager Energy Entropy, Spectral Entropy, Spectral Energy-Entropy, Spectral Teager Energy-Entropy, STFT Entropy, STFT Energy-Entropy and STFT Teager Energy-Entropy). From the analysis, it is observed that the entropy feature in frequency domain performs evenly well (above 80 %) for all six emotions with KNN. Classification results shows that using the selected energy entropy combination feature in frequency domain provides highest accuracy for all emotions except E1 and E2 for KNN and SVM classifier, whereas other features give accuracy values of above 60% for most emotions.It is also observed that emotion E1 gives above 90 % classification accuracy for all classifiers in time domain.In frequency domain also, emotion E1 gives above 90% classification accuracy using PNN classifier.

Threat Mitigation

This study proposes a scheme to identify insider threats in nuclear facilities through the detection of malicious intentions of potential insiders using subject-wise classification. Based on electroencephalography (EEG) signals, a classification model was developed to identify whether a subject has a malicious intention under scenarios of being forced to become an insider threat. The model also distinguishes insider threat scenarios from everyday conflict scenarios. To support model development, 21-channel EEG signals were measured on 25 healthy subjects, and sets of features were extracted from the time, time–frequency, frequency and nonlinear domains. To select the best use of the available features, automatic selection was performed by random-forest-based algorithms. The k-nearest neighbor, support vector machine with radial kernel, naïve Bayes, and multilayer perceptron algorithms were applied for the classification. By using EEG signals obtained while contemplating becoming an insider threat, the subject-wise model identified malicious intentions with 78.57% accuracy. The model also distinguished insider threat scenarios from everyday conflict scenarios with 93.47% accuracy. These findings could be utilized to support the development of insider threat mitigation systems along with existing trustworthiness assessments in the nuclear industry.

Accurate recognition and understating of human emotions is an essential skill that can improve the collaboration between humans and machines. In this vein, electroencephalogram (EEG)-based emotion recognition is considered an active research field with challenging issues regarding the analyses of the nonstationary EEG signals and the extraction of salient features that can be used to achieve accurate emotion recognition. In this paper, an EEG-based emotion recognition approach with a novel time-frequency feature extraction technique is presented. In particular, a quadratic time-frequency distribution (QTFD) is employed to construct a high resolution time-frequency representation of the EEG signals and capture the spectral variations of the EEG signals over time. To reduce the dimensionality of the constructed QTFD-based representation, a set of 13 time- and frequency-domain features is extended to the joint time-frequency-domain and employed to quantify the QTFD-based time-frequency representation of the EEG signals. Moreover, to describe different emotion classes, we have utilized the 2D arousal-valence plane to develop four emotion labeling schemes of the EEG signals, such that each emotion labeling scheme defines a set of emotion classes. The extracted time-frequency features are used to construct a set of subject-specific support vector machine classifiers to classify the EEG signals of each subject into the different emotion classes that are defined using each of the four emotion labeling schemes. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated using a publicly available EEG dataset, namely the DEAPdataset. Moreover, we design three performance evaluation analyses, namely the channel-based analysis, feature-based analysis and neutral class exclusion analysis, to quantify the effects of utilizing different groups of EEG channels that cover various regions in the brain, reducing the dimensionality of the extracted time-frequency features and excluding the EEG signals that correspond to the neutral class, on the capability of the proposed approach to discriminate between different emotion classes. The results reported in the current study demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed QTFD-based approach in recognizing different emotion classes. In particular, the average classification accuracies obtained in differentiating between the various emotion classes defined using each of the four emotion labeling schemes are within the range of 73 . 8 % – 86 . 2 % . Moreover, the emotion classification accuracies achieved by our proposed approach are higher than the results reported in several existing state-of-the-art EEG-based emotion recognition studies.

AbstractEarly identification of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) provides an opportunity for early intervention and improved outcomes. Use of electroencephalography (EEG) in infants has shown promise in predicting later ASD diagnoses and in identifying neural mechanisms underlying the disorder. Given the high co-morbidity with language impairment in ASD, we and others have speculated that infants who are later diagnosed with ASD have altered language learning, including phoneme discrimination. Phoneme learning occurs rapidly within the first postnatal year, so altered neural substrates either during or after the first year may serve as early, accurate indicators of later autism diagnosis. Using longitudinal EEG data collected during a passive phoneme task in infants with high familial risk for ASD, we compared predictive accuracy at 6-months (during phoneme learning) versus 12-months (after phoneme learning). Samples at both ages were matched in size and diagnoses (n=14 with later ASD; n= 40 without ASD). Using Pearson correlation feature selection and support vector machine with radial basis function classifier, 100% predictive diagnostic accuracy was observed at both ages. However, predictive features selected at the two ages differed and came from different scalp locations. We also report that performance across multiple machine learning algorithms was highly variable and declined when the 12-month sample size and behavioral heterogeneity was increased. These results demonstrate that speech processing EEG measures can facilitate earlier identification of ASD but emphasize the need for age-specific predictive models with large sample sizes in order to develop clinically relevant classification algorithms.

Recognition of motor imagery intention is one of the hot current research focuses of brain-computer interface (BCI) studies. It can help patients with physical dyskinesia to convey their movement intentions. In recent years, breakthroughs have been made in the research on recognition of motor imagery task using deep learning, but if the important features related to motor imagery are ignored, it may lead to a decline in the recognition performance of the algorithm. This paper proposes a new deep multi-view feature learning method for the classification task of motor imagery electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. In order to obtain more representative motor imagery features in EEG signals, we introduced a multi-view feature representation based on the characteristics of EEG signals and the differences between different features. Different feature extraction methods were used to respectively extract the time domain, frequency domain, time-frequency domain and spatial features of EEG signals, so as to made them cooperate and complement. Then, the deep restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) network improved by t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding(t-SNE) was adopted to learn the multi-view features of EEG signals, so that the algorithm removed the feature redundancy while took into account the global characteristics in the multi-view feature sequence, reduced the dimension of the multi-visual features and enhanced the recognizability of the features. Finally, support vector machine (SVM) was chosen to classify deep multi-view features. Applying our proposed method to the BCI competition IV 2a dataset we obtained excellent classification results. The results show that the deep multi-view feature learning method further improved the classification accuracy of motor imagery tasks.
