Denoising Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Signal
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive method for detecting brain activity; however, noise, including motion artifacts and systemic interference, significantly impacts signal quality. To identify an effective denoising technique, we evaluated seven popular methods: Savitzky-Golay (SG) filter, spline interpolation, multivariate disturbance filtering(MDF), traditional band-pass filtering, coefficient of variation (CV) analysis, correlation-based signal improvement (CBSI) and time derivative distribution repair (TDDR), using a public dataset. Experimental results indicate that the SG filter offers the highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 27.65, and excels at removing high-frequency noise like spikes through averaging techniques. However, the CV method provides the highest contrast enhancement, with a contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of 19.41. Importantly, spline interpolation balances signal contrast and primary signal extraction effectively, so that we considered it as our best method. These findings offer valuable guidance for selecting appropriate filters in denoising fNIRS signals. The code and results are available on https://github.com/AIPMLab/Signal_SMC.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
