To overcome this, we propose a deflationary approach to optimise a much smaller mixing matrix - based on the absolute values of the diagonals of the co-variance matrix, Csk, to represent the underlying sources. The preliminary results of the new technique applied to different channels of EEG recorded using the standard 10-20 system - including the full selection of all channels - are very promising.Clinical Relevance-The potential of this deflationary approach for Space-Time ICA, seeks to allow clinicians to identify underlying sources in the brain - that both spatially and spectrally overlap - to be identified, whilst making the 'dimensionality' challenges more tractable. In the long run, applications of this technique could enhance certain brain-computer interface paradigms.Identifying the presence of sputum in the lung is essential in detection of diseases such as lung infection, pneumonia and cancer. Cough type classification (dry/wet) is an effective way of examining presence of lung sputum. This is traditionally done through physical exam in a clinical visit which is subjective and inaccurate. This work proposes an objective approach relying on the acoustic features of the cough sound. A total number of 5971 coughs (5242 dry and 729 wet) were collected from 131 subjects using Smartphone. The data was reviewed and annotated by a novel multi-layer labeling platform. The annotation kappa inter-rater agreement score is measured to be 0.81 and 0.37 for 1st and 2nd layer respectively. Sensitivity and specificity values of 88% and 86% are measured for classification between wet and dry coughs (highest across the literature).For a correct assessment of stereo-electroencephalographic (SEEG) recordings, a proper signal electrical reference is necessary. Such a reference might be physical or virtual. Physical reference can be noisy and a proper virtual reference calculation is often time-consuming. This paper uses the variance of the SEEG signals to calculate the reference from relatively low noise signals to reduce the contamination by distant sources, while maintaining negligible computing time.Ten patients with SEEG recordings were used in this study. 20-second long recordings from each patient, sampled at 5000 Hz, were used to calculate variances of SEEG signals and a low-variance (LV) subset of signals was selected for each patient. Consequently, 4 different reference signals were calculated using 1) an average signal from WM contacts only (AVG_WM); 2) an average signal from LV contacts only (AVG_LV); 3) independent component analysis (ICA) method from WM contacts only (ICA_WM); and 4) ICA method from LV signals only (ICA_LV). orward methodology and outstandingly fast calculation.A central question in neuroscience is how the brain processes real-world sensory input. For decades most classical studies focus on carefully controlled artificial stimuli. More recently researchers started to investigate brain activity under more realistic conditions. The main challenge in this setting is the analysis of the complex signals obtained with modern neuroimaging methods in response to natural stimuli. Inter-subject correlations (ISCs) have become a popular paradigm to study brain activation under natural stimulation. The underlying assumption of this analysis is that features of natural stimuli that are perceived and processed by all subjects exposed to the same stimulus result in similar activation patterns across subjects. Higher degrees of realism in stimulation, for instance audiovisual stimulation is more realistic than auditory stimulation, is usually associated with higher ISC values. We can confirm these findings in experiments in which we present a movie stimulus with varying degrees of , Parkinsons, and Schizophrenia among others.We have uncovered serious flaws in handling EEG signals with a decreased rank in implementations of the common spatial patterns (CSP). The CSP algorithm assumes covariance matrices of the signal to have full rank. However, preprocessing techniques, such as artifact removal using independent component analysis, may decrease the rank of the signal, leading to potential errors in the CSP decomposition. We inspect what could go wrong when CSP implementations do not take this into consideration on a binary motor imagery classification task. We review CSP implementations in open-source toolboxes for EEG signal analysis (FieldTrip, BBCI Toolbox, BioSig, EEGLAB, BCILAB, and MNE). We show that unprotected implementations decreased mean classification accuracy by up to 32%, with spatial filters resulting in complex numbers, for which corresponding spatial patterns do not have a clear interpretation. We encourage researchers to check their implementations and analysis pipelines.The brain-computer interface (BCI) based on electroencephalography (EEG) converts the subject's intentions into control signals. For the BCI, the study of motor imagery has been widely used. JTE 013 cell line In recent years, a classification method based on a convolutional neural network (CNNs) has been proposed. However, most of the existing methods use a single convolution scale on CNN, and another problem that affects the results is limited training data. To solve these problems, we propose a mixed-scale CNN architecture, and a data augmentation method is used to classify the EEG of motor imagery. After classifying the BCI competition IV dataset 2b, the average classification accuracy is 81.52%. Compared with the existing methods, our method has a better classification result. This method effectively solves the problems existing in the existing CNN-based motor imagery classification methods, and it improves the classification accuracy.Heart disease and stroke are the leading causes of death worldwide. High blood pressure greatly increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Therefore, it is important to control blood pressure (BP) through regular BP monitoring; as such, it is necessary to develop a method to accurately and conveniently predict BP in a variety of settings. In this paper, we propose a method for predicting BP without feature extraction using fully convolutional neural networks (CNNs). We measured single multi-wave photoplethysmography (PPG) signals using a smartphone. To find an effective wavelength of PPG signals for the generation of accurate BP measurements, we investigated the BP prediction performance by changing the combinations of the input PPG signals. Our CNN-based BP predictor yielded the best performance metrics when a green PPG time signal was used in combination with an instantaneous frequency signal. This combination had an overall mean absolute error (MAE) of 5.28 and 4.92 mmHg for systolic and diastolic BP, respectively.
