Align and Pool for EEG Headset Domain Adaptation (ALPHA) to Facilitate Dry Electrode Based SSVEP-BCI 170 177 IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering (TBME)
This study leverages transfer learning to improve the performance for steady-state visual evoked potential based brain-computer interface (SSVEP-BCI) implemented by dry electrodes. We utilize auxiliary individual electroencephalogram (EEG) recorded from wet electrode for cross-device transfer learning via the proposed framework named ALign and Pool for EEG Headset domain Adaptation (ALPHA), which aligns the SSVEP features by domain adaptation. ALPHA significantly outperformed the competing methods in two transfer directions, and boosted the dry-electrode systems using wet-electrode EEG. The cross-device transfer learning by ALPHA could increase the utility and potentially promote the use of dry electrode based SSVEP-BCIs in practical applications. read more

Fast EEG-based decoding of the directional focus of auditory attention using common spatial patterns

Fast EEG-based decoding of the directional focus of auditory attention using common spatial patterns 170 177 IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering (TBME)
Current hearing devices lack information about the sound source a user attends to when there are multiple speakers. Auditory attention decoding (AAD) algorithms, which decode the auditory attention from brain signals, solve this problem and inform the hearing device about the to-be-enhanced speaker. While current AAD algorithms typically require an EEG buffer of 10s, leading to long delays, we present a new fast and accurate AAD algorithm that decodes the spatial focus of auditory attention in 1s using common spatial pattern filtering. read more
