Steady-State Visual Evoked Potentials (SSVEPs) are neural oscillations from the parietal and occipital regions of the brain that are evoked from flickering visual stimuli. SSVEPs are robust signals measurable in the electroencephalogram (EEG) and are commonly used in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). However, methods for high-accuracy decoding of SSVEPs usually require hand-crafted approaches that leverage domain-specific knowledge of the stimulus signals, such as specific temporal frequencies in the visual stimuli and their relative spatial arrangement. When this knowledge is unavailable, such as when SSVEP signals are acquired asynchronously, such approaches tend to fail. In this paper, we show how a compact convolutional neural network (Compact-CNN), which only requires raw EEG signals for automatic feature extraction, can be used to decode signals from a 12-class SSVEP dataset without the need for any domain-specific knowledge or calibration data. We report across subject mean accuracy of approximately 80% (chance being 8.3%) and show this is substantially better than current state-of-the-art hand-crafted approaches using canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and Combined-CCA. Furthermore, we analyze our Compact-CNN to examine the underlying feature representation, discovering that the deep learner extracts additional phase and amplitude related features associated with the structure of the dataset. We discuss how our Compact-CNN shows promise for BCI applications that allow users to freely gaze/attend to any stimulus at any time (e.g., asynchronous BCI) as well as provides a method for analyzing SSVEP signals in a way that might augment our understanding about the basic processing in the visual cortex.

Automated methods for Alzheimers disease (AD) classification have the potential for great clinical benefits and may provide insight for combating the disease. Machine learning, and more specifically deep neural networks, have been shown to have great
efficacy in this domain. These algorithms often use neurological imaging data such as MRI and PET, but a comprehensive and balanced comparison of these modalities has not been performed. In order to accurately determine the relative strength of each imaging variant, this work performs a comparison study in the context of Alzheimers dementia classification using the Alzheimers Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) dataset. Furthermore, this work analyzes the benefits of using both modalities in a fusion setting and discusses how these data types may be leveraged in future AD studies using deep learning.
Steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP) brain-computer interface (BCI) provides reliable responses leading to high accuracy and information throughput. But achieving high accuracy typically requires a relatively long time window of one second o
r more. Various methods were proposed to improve sub-second response accuracy through subject-specific training and calibration. Substantial performance improvements were achieved with tedious calibration and subject-specific training; resulting in the users discomfort. So, we propose a training-free method by combining spatial-filtering and temporal alignment (CSTA) to recognize SSVEP responses in sub-second response time. CSTA exploits linear correlation and non-linear similarity between steady-state responses and stimulus templates with complementary fusion to achieve desirable performance improvements. We evaluated the performance of CSTA in terms of accuracy and Information Transfer Rate (ITR) in comparison with both training-based and training-free methods using two SSVEP data-sets. We observed that CSTA achieves the maximum mean accuracy of 97.43$pm$2.26 % and 85.71$pm$13.41 % with four-class and forty-class SSVEP data-sets respectively in sub-second response time in offline analysis. CSTA yields significantly higher mean performance (p<0.001) than the training-free method on both data-sets. Compared with training-based methods, CSTA shows 29.33$pm$19.65 % higher mean accuracy with statistically significant differences in time window less than 0.5 s. In longer time windows, CSTA exhibits either better or comparable performance though not statistically significantly better than training-based methods. We show that the proposed method brings advantages of subject-independent SSVEP classification without requiring training while enabling high target recognition performance in sub-second response time.
There has become of increasing interest in transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) since its inception nearly a decade ago. tACS in modulating brain state is an active area of research and has been demonstrated effective in various neurop
sychological and clinical domains. In the visual domain, much effort has been dedicated to brain rhythms and rhythmic stimulation, i.e., tACS. However, little is known about the interplay between the rhythmic stimulation and visual stimulation. Here, we used steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP), induced by flickering driving as a widely used technique for frequency-tagging, to investigate the aftereffect of tACS in healthy human subjects. Seven blocks of 64-channel electroencephalogram were recorded before and after the administration of 20-min 10-Hz tACS, while subjects performed several blocks of SSVEP tasks. We characterized the physiological properties of tACS aftereffect by comparing and validating the temporal, spatial, spatiotemporal and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) patterns between and within blocks in real tACS and sham tACS. Our result revealed that tACS boosted the 10-Hz SSVEP significantly. Besides, the aftereffect on SSVEP was mitigated with time and lasted up to 5 min. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of facilitating the flickering driving by external rhythmic stimulation and open a new possibility to alter the brain state in a direction by noninvasive transcranial brain stimulation.
Latent dynamics discovery is challenging in extracting complex dynamics from high-dimensional noisy neural data. Many dimensionality reduction methods have been widely adopted to extract low-dimensional, smooth and time-evolving latent trajectories.
However, simple state transition structures, linear embedding assumptions, or inflexible inference networks impede the accurate recovery of dynamic portraits. In this paper, we propose a novel latent dynamic model that is capable of capturing nonlinear, non-Markovian, long short-term time-dependent dynamics via recurrent neural networks and tackling complex nonlinear embedding via non-parametric Gaussian process. Due to the complexity and intractability of the model and its inference, we also provide a powerful inference network with bi-directional long short-term memory networks that encode both past and future information into posterior distributions. In the experiment, we show that our model outperforms other state-of-the-art methods in reconstructing insightful latent dynamics from both simulated and experimental neural datasets with either Gaussian or Poisson observations, especially in the low-sample scenario.

We propose two deep neural network architectures for classification of arbitrary-length electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings and evaluate them on the atrial fibrillation (AF) classification data set provided by the PhysioNet/CinC Challenge 2017. The fi
rst architecture is a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) with averaging-based feature aggregation across time. The second architecture combines convolutional layers for feature extraction with long-short term memory (LSTM) layers for temporal aggregation of features. As a key ingredient of our training procedure we introduce a simple data augmentation scheme for ECG data and demonstrate its effectiveness in the AF classification task at hand. The second architecture was found to outperform the first one, obtaining an $F_1$ score of $82.1$% on the hidden challenge testing set.
