  • Predicting Task Activation Maps from Resting-State Functional Connectivity using Deep Learning. bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology Madsen, S. J., Uddin, L. Q., Mumford, J. A., Barch, D. M., Fair, D. A., Gotlib, I. H., Poldrack, R. A., Kuceyeski, A., Saggar, M. 2024

    Abstract

    Recent work has shown that deep learning is a powerful tool for predicting brain activation patterns evoked through various tasks using resting state features. We replicate and improve upon this recent work to introduce two models, BrainSERF and BrainSurfGCN, that perform at least as well as the state-of-the-art while greatly reducing memory and computational footprints. Our performance analysis observed that low predictability was associated with a possible lack of task engagement derived from behavioral performance. Furthermore, a deficiency in model performance was also observed for closely matched task contrasts, likely due to high individual variability confirmed by low test-retest reliability. Overall, we successfully replicate recently developed deep learning architecture and provide scalable models for further research.

  • EEG dataset and OpenBMI toolbox for three BCI paradigms: an investigation into BCI illiteracy GIGASCIENCE Lee, M., Kwon, O., Kim, Y., Kim, H., Lee, Y., Williamson, J., Fazli, S., Lee, S. 2019; 8 (5)

    Abstract

    Electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain-computer interface (BCI) systems are mainly divided into three major paradigms: motor imagery (MI), event-related potential (ERP), and steady-state visually evoked potential (SSVEP). Here, we present a BCI dataset that includes the three major BCI paradigms with a large number of subjects over multiple sessions. In addition, information about the psychological and physiological conditions of BCI users was obtained using a questionnaire, and task-unrelated parameters such as resting state, artifacts, and electromyography of both arms were also recorded. We evaluated the decoding accuracies for the individual paradigms and determined performance variations across both subjects and sessions. Furthermore, we looked for more general, severe cases of BCI illiteracy than have been previously reported in the literature.Average decoding accuracies across all subjects and sessions were 71.1% (± 0.15), 96.7% (± 0.05), and 95.1% (± 0.09), and rates of BCI illiteracy were 53.7%, 11.1%, and 10.2% for MI, ERP, and SSVEP, respectively. Compared to the ERP and SSVEP paradigms, the MI paradigm exhibited large performance variations between both subjects and sessions. Furthermore, we found that 27.8% (15 out of 54) of users were universally BCI literate, i.e., they were able to proficiently perform all three paradigms. Interestingly, we found no universally illiterate BCI user, i.e., all participants were able to control at least one type of BCI system.Our EEG dataset can be utilized for a wide range of BCI-related research questions. All methods for the data analysis in this study are supported with fully open-source scripts that can aid in every step of BCI technology. Furthermore, our results support previous but disjointed findings on the phenomenon of BCI illiteracy.
