摘要:

稳态视觉诱发电位(SSVEP)是由闪烁的视觉刺激引起的大脑顶叶和枕叶区域的神经振荡。SSVEP是在脑电图(EEG)中可测量的鲁棒信号,并且通常用于脑机接口(BCI)。然而,用于SSVEP的高精度解码的方法通常需要手工制作的方法,该方法利用刺激信号的特定领域知识,例如视觉刺激中的特定时间频率及其相对空间布置。当这种知识不可用时,例如当异步获取SSVEP信号时,这种方法往往会失败。在本文中,我们展示了一个紧凑的卷积神经网络(Compact-CNN),它只需要原始EEG信号自动特征提取,可用于解码信号从12类SSVEP数据集,而不需要任何特定领域的知识或校准数据。我们报告了大约80%的受试者平均准确度(概率为8.3%),并表明这比使用典型相关分析(CCA)和组合CCA的当前最先进的手工制作方法要好得多。此外,我们分析了Compact-CNN来检查底层特征表示,发现深度学习器提取了与数据集结构相关的额外相位和幅度相关特征。我们讨论了我们的Compact-CNN如何展示BCI应用程序的前景,这些应用程序允许用户在任何时候自由地注视/关注任何刺激(例如,异步BCI),以及提供了一种方法来分析SSVEP信号的方式,可能会增加我们的理解有关的基本处理在视觉皮层。

英文摘要:

Steady-State Visual Evoked Potentials (SSVEPs) are neural oscillations from the parietal and occipital regions of the brain that are evoked from flickering visual stimuli. SSVEPs are robust signals measurable in the electroencephalogram (EEG) and are commonly used in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). However, methods for high-accuracy decoding of SSVEPs usually require hand-crafted approaches that leverage domain-specific knowledge of the stimulus signals, such as specific temporal frequencies in the visual stimuli and their relative spatial arrangement. When this knowledge is unavailable, such as when SSVEP signals are acquired asynchronously, such approaches tend to fail. In this paper, we show how a compact convolutional neural network (Compact-CNN), which only requires raw EEG signals for automatic feature extraction, can be used to decode signals from a 12-class SSVEP dataset without the need for any domain-specific knowledge or calibration data. We report across subject mean accuracy of approximately 80% (chance being 8.3%) and show this is substantially better than current state-of-the-art hand-crafted approaches using canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and Combined-CCA. Furthermore, we analyze our Compact-CNN to examine the underlying feature representation, discovering that the deep learner extracts additional phase and amplitude related features associated with the structure of the dataset. We discuss how our Compact-CNN shows promise for BCI applications that allow users to freely gaze/attend to any stimulus at any time (e.g., asynchronous BCI) as well as provides a method for analyzing SSVEP signals in a way that might augment our understanding about the basic processing in the visual cortex.
