Filter bank common spatial pattern and envelope-based features in multimodal EEG-fTCD brain-computer interfaces
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) exploit brain activity to bypass neuromuscular control with the aim of providing alternative means of communication with the surrounding environment. Such systems can significantly improve the quality of life for patients suffering from severe motor or speech impairment. Multimodal BCIs have been introduced recently to enhance the performance of BCIs utilizing single modality. In this paper, we aim to improve the performance of multimodal BCIs combining Electroencephalography (EEG) and functional transcranial Doppler ultrasound (fTCD). The BCIs included in the study utilized two different paradigms to infer user intent including motor imagery (MI) and flickering mental rotation (MR)/word generation (WG) paradigms. Filter Bank Common Spatial Pattern (FBCSP) algorithm was used to extract features from the EEG data. Several time series features were extracted from the envelope of the fTCD signals. Wilcoxon rank sum test and linear kernel Support vector machines (SVM) were used for feature selection and classification respectively. Additionally, a probabilistic Bayesian fusion approach was used to fuse the information from EEG and fTCD modalities. Average accuracies of 94.53%, 94.9% and 96.29% were achieved for right arm MI versus baseline, left arm MI versus baseline, and right arm MI versus left arm MI respectively. Whereas average accuracies of 95.27%, 85.93% and 96.97% were achieved for MR versus baseline, WG versus baseline, and MR versus WG respectively. Our results show that EEG- fTCD BCIs with the proposed analysis techniques outperformed the multimodal EEG-fNRIS BCIs in comparison.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
