Assessment of mental workload in real world conditions is key to ensure the performance of workers executing tasks which demand sustained attention. Previous literature has employed electroencephalography (EEG) to this end. However, EEG correlates of mental workload vary across subjects and physical strain, thus making it difficult to devise models capable of simultaneously presenting reliable performance across users. The field of domain adaptation (DA) aims at developing methods that allow for generalization across different domains by learning domain-invariant representations. Such DA methods, however, rely on the so-called covariate shift assumption, which typically does not hold for EEG-based applications. As such, in this paper we propose a way to measure the statistical (marginal and conditional) shift observed on data obtained from different users and use this measure to quantitatively assess the effectiveness of different adaptation strategies. In particular, we use EEG data collected from individuals performing a mental task while running in a treadmill and explore the effects of different normalization strategies commonly used to mitigate cross-subject variability. We show the effects that different normalization schemes have on statistical shifts and their relationship with the accuracy of mental workload prediction as assessed on unseen participants at train time.
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a complex signal and can require several years of training to be correctly interpreted. Recently, deep learning (DL) has shown great promise in helping make sense of EEG signals due to its capacity to learn good featur
Datasets for biosignals, such as electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocardiogram (ECG), often have noisy labels and have limited number of subjects (<100). To handle these challenges, we propose a self-supervised approach based on contrastive learni
We consider a general statistical estimation problem wherein binary labels across different observations are not independent conditioned on their feature vectors, but dependent, capturing settings where e.g. these observations are collected on a spat
In modern building infrastructures, the chance to devise adaptive and unsupervised data-driven health monitoring systems is gaining in popularity due to the large availability of data from low-cost sensors with internetworking capabilities. In partic
Photoplethysmogram (PPG) is increasingly used to provide monitoring of the cardiovascular system under ambulatory conditions. Wearable devices like smartwatches use PPG to allow long term unobtrusive monitoring of heart rate in free living conditions
