Described is a computer system for establishing an electroencephalogram (EEG) model for discriminating between alert and fatigue states. The computer system comprises a receiver module for receiving an alert state segment illustrative of an alert state of at least one subject, and one or more EEG fatigue data segments illustrative of a fatigue state of the at least one subject. The computer system further comprises a segment selector for selecting one of the one or more fatigue data segments and setting it to be an assumed maximum fatigue segment, an EEG classifier trainer for training an EEG classifier by extracting an EEG feature space from the alert state segment and assumed maximum fatigue segment, and a maximum fatigue identifier module for identifying a segment of maximum fatigue by applying the EEG classifier to each of the fatigue data segments. The computer system further comprises a segment comparator for determining if the segment of maximum fatigue is consistent with the assumed maximum fatigue segment, and a limit setter for setting the segment of maximum fatigue as a revised assumed maximum fatigue segment, if the segment of maximum fatigue is inconsistent with the assumed maximum fatigue segment, and supplying the EEG classifier trainer with the revised assumed maximum fatigue segment. The computer system further comprises a model output module for setting the EEG classifier as the EEG model for discriminating between alert and fatigue states in segments of EEG data, if the segment of maximum fatigue is consistent with the assumed maximum fatigue segment.

A method for profiling sleep of an individual is provided. The method includes defining a sleep feature space for the individual, measuring a brain wave for the individual during the individual's sleep, and mapping the sleep feature space in response to a comparison of the brain wave and a previous brain wave measurement used to define the sleep feature space. The brain wave may comprise a brain wave spectrum. The sleep feature space may comprise, or be composed of, spectral power and envelope measures. The method also includes modelling the mapped sleep feature space in response to recognized neural network patterns corresponding to each of a plurality of sleep stages derived from recognizing the neural network patterns from the sleep feature space and deriving a sleep profile for the individual from sleep stages determined in response to the modelled mapped sleep feature space and the brain wave of the individual.

There is provided a method and apparatus for real-time discriminative ocular artefact removal from EEG signals. This is facilitated by integrating inter-class dissimilarity and within-class similarity in a regularized framework based on oscillatory correlation. Correspondingly, components related to ocular movements are extracted from the raw data as pseudo-artefact channels so that it is applicable to single-channel EEG data without a dedicated EOG or eye-tracker.
摘要:
A method for deriving optimal discriminating features indicative of a subject state when the subject listens to one of a set of musical pieces, comprising a step of extracting frequency features from the subject's EEG signal when the subject is in a first subject state and a second subject state, the frequency features being extracted from more than one frequency band in one set of time segments; and identifying optimal discriminating features from the extracted frequency features, the optimal discriminating features indicative of characteristics of the EEG signal when the subject is in the first subject state and the second subject state, wherein one of the first subject state and the second subject state indicates that the subject likes a musical piece while the other state indicates that the subject does not like the musical piece.
摘要:
A computer system for acquiring a control command. The system includes one or more processors in communication with non-transitory data storage media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the one or more processors to perform particular steps. The steps include: receiving, at an electroencephalogram (EEG) receiver, baseline EEG data; and acquiring, using a normalisation module, one or more normalisation factors from the baseline EEG data. The steps further include: receiving, at the EEG receiver, stimulated EEG data sensed by one or more EEG sensors; and correlating the stimulated EEG data across the one or more EEG sensors, using a correlation module, to generate one or more correlation coefficients corresponding to one or more stimulation frequencies, each of the one or more stimulation frequencies corresponding to a respective candidate control command.

A cognitive training method has a step of obtaining sensor data of a subject during a memory exercise which in turns determining whether the sensor data includes predetermined information indicative of cognitive functions used for remembering. The step of advancing the memory exercise is carried out when it is determined that the sensor data includes predetermined information indicative of cognitive functions used for remembering. The step of calculating an objective cognitive assessment of the subject when the memory exercise is completed and a cognitive training is measured at least partially in response to the advancing the memory exercise. The fact that an objective cognitive assessment is calculated provides a method of using an autodidactic cognitive training device.

Disclosed is a signal processing system for a brain machine interface (BMI) and a method performed by such a signal processing system. The method involves receiving and filtering input data comprising cortical signal samples, calculating a threshold for detection of spikes, identifying spikes in subsequently received samples, and outputting spike data corresponding to the identified spike or spikes.
