We describe the experimental procedures for a dataset that we have made publicly available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2649006 in mat and csv formats. This dataset contains electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings of 25 subjects testing the Brain Invaders (Congedo, 2011), a visual P300 Brain-Computer Interface inspired by the famous vintage video game Space Invaders (Taito, Tokyo, Japan). The visual P300 is an event-related potential elicited by a visual stimulation, peaking 240-600 ms after stimulus onset. EEG data were recorded by 16 electrodes in an experiment that took place in the GIPSA-lab, Grenoble, France, in 2012 (Van Veen, 2013 and Congedo, 2013). Python code for manipulating the data is available at https://github.com/plcrodrigues/py.BI.EEG.2012-GIPSA. The ID of this dataset is BI.EEG.2012-GIPSA.

During mechanical ventilation, patient-ventilator disharmony is frequently observed and may result in increased breathing effort, compromising the patients comfort and recovery. This circumstance requires clinical intervention and becomes challenging when verbal communication is difficult. In this work, we propose a brain computer interface (BCI) to automatically and non-invasively detect patient-ventilator disharmony from electroencephalographic (EEG) signals: a brain-ventilator interface (BVI). Our framework exploits the cortical activation provoked by the inspiratory compensation when the subject and the ventilator are desynchronized. Use of a one-class approach and Riemannian geometry of EEG covariance matrices allows effective classification of respiratory states. The BVI is validated on nine healthy subjects that performed different respiratory tasks that mimic a patient-ventilator disharmony. Classification performances, in terms of areas under ROC curves, are significantly improved using EEG signals compared to detection based on air flow. Reduction in the number of electrodes that can achieve discrimination can often be desirable (e.g. for portable BCI systems). By using an iterative channel selection technique, the Common Highest Order Ranking (CHOrRa), we find that a reduced set of electrodes (n=6) can slightly improve for an intra-subject configuration, and it still provides fairly good performances for a general inter-subject setting. Results support the discriminant capacity of our approach to identify anomalous respiratory states, by learning from a training set containing only normal respiratory epochs. The proposed framework opens the door to brain-ventilator interfaces for monitoring patients breathing comfort and adapting ventilator parameters to patient respiratory needs.
We describe the experimental procedures for a dataset that we have made publicly available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1494163 in mat and csv formats. This dataset contains electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings of 24 subjects doing a visual P300 Brain-Computer Interface experiment on PC. The visual P300 is an event-related potential elicited by visual stimulation, peaking 240-600 ms after stimulus onset. The experiment was designed in order to compare the use of a P300-based brain-computer interface on a PC with and without adaptive calibration using Riemannian geometry. The brain-computer interface is based on electroencephalography (EEG). EEG data were recorded thanks to 16 electrodes. Data were recorded during an experiment taking place in the GIPSA-lab, Grenoble, France, in 2013 (Congedo, 2013). Python code for manipulating the data is available at https://github.com/plcrodrigues/py.BI.EEG.2013-GIPSA. The ID of this dataset is BI.EEG.2013-GIPSA.
Brain Electroencephalography (EEG) classification is widely applied to analyze cerebral diseases in recent years. Unfortunately, invalid/noisy EEGs degrade the diagnosis performance and most previously developed methods ignore the necessity of EEG selection for classification. To this end, this paper proposes a novel maximum weight clique-based EEG selection approach, named mwcEEGs, to map EEG selection to searching maximum similarity-weighted cliques from an improved Fr{e}chet distance-weighted undirected EEG graph simultaneously considering edge weights and vertex weights. Our mwcEEGs improves the classification performance by selecting intra-clique pairwise similar and inter-clique discriminative EEGs with similarity threshold $delta$. Experimental results demonstrate the algorithm effectiveness compared with the state-of-the-art time series selection algorithms on real-world EEG datasets.
As Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are increasingly being deployed, situations frequently arise where multiple stakeholders must reconcile preferences to control a shared resource. We perform a 5-month long experiment dubbed smartSDH (carried out in 27 employees office space) where users report their preferences for the brightness of overhead lighting. smartSDH implements a modified Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanism; assuming users are rational, it incentivizes truthful reporting, implements the socially desirable outcome, and compensates participants to ensure higher payoffs under smartSDH when compared with the default outside option(i.e., the option chosen in the absence of such a mechanism). smartSDH assesses the feasibility of the VCG mechanism in the context of smart building control and evaluated smartSDHs effect using metrics such as light level satisfaction, incentive satisfaction, and energy consumption. Although previous studies on the theoretical aspects of the mechanism indicate user satisfaction, our experiments indicate quite the contrary. We found that the participants were significantly less satisfied with light brightness and incentives determined by the VCG mechanism over time. These data suggest the need for more realistic behavioral models to design IoT technologies and highlights difficulties in estimating preferences from observable external factors such as atmospheric conditions.
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can provide an alternative means of communication for individuals with severe neuromuscular limitations. The P300-based BCI speller relies on eliciting and detecting transient event-related potentials (ERPs) in electroencephalography (EEG) data, in response to a user attending to rarely occurring target stimuli amongst a series of non-target stimuli. However, in most P300 speller implementations, the stimuli to be presented are randomly selected from a limited set of options and stimulus selection and presentation are not optimized based on previous user data. In this work, we propose a data-driven method for stimulus selection based on the expected discrimination gain metric. The data-driven approach selects stimuli based on previously observed stimulus responses, with the aim of choosing a set of stimuli that will provide the most information about the users intended target character. Our approach incorporates knowledge of physiological and system constraints imposed due to real-time BCI implementation. Simulations were performed to compare our stimulus selection approach to the row-column paradigm, the conventional stimulus selection method for P300 spellers. Results from the simulations demonstrated that our adaptive stimulus selection approach has the potential to significantly improve performance from the conventional method: up to 34% improvement in accuracy and 43% reduction in the mean number of stimulus presentations required to spell a character in a 72-character grid. In addition, our greedy approach to stimulus selection provides the flexibility to accommodate design constraints.
