The role of distinct ECoG frequency features in decoding finger movement KU Leuven
Objective.To identify the electrocorticography (ECoG) frequency features that encode distinct finger movement states during repeated finger flexions.Approach.We used the publicly available Stanford ECoG dataset of cue-based, repeated single finger flexions. Using linear regression, we identified the spectral features that contributed most to the encoding of movement dynamics and discriminating movement events from rest, and combined them to ...
Effects of risk factors on longitudinal changes in brain structure and function in the progression of AD KU Leuven
INTRODUCTION: Past research on Alzheimer's disease (AD) has focused on biomarkers, cognition, and neuroimaging as primary predictors of its progression, albeit additional ones have recently gained attention. When turning to the prediction of the progression from one stage to another, one could benefit from the joint assessment of imaging-based biomarkers and risk/protective factors. METHODS: We included 86 studies that fulfilled our inclusion ...
Real-Time Navigation in Google Street View® Using a Motor Imagery-Based BCI KU Leuven
Navigation in virtual worlds is ubiquitous in games and other virtual reality (VR) applications and mainly relies on external controllers. As brain-computer interfaces (BCI)s rely on mental control, bypassing traditional neural pathways, they provide to paralyzed users an alternative way to navigate. However, the majority of BCI-based navigation studies adopt cue-based visual paradigms, and the evoked brain responses are encoded into navigation ...
Alternating step size method for solving ill-posed linear operator equations in energetic space KU Leuven
Finger movement and coactivation predicted from intracranial brain activity using extended block-term tensor regression KU Leuven
Objective.We introduce extended Block-Term Tensor Regression (eBTTR), a novel regression method designed to account for the multilinear nature of human intracranial finger movement recordings.Approach.The proposed method relies on recursive Tucker decomposition combined with automatic component extraction.Main results.eBTTR outperforms state-of-the-art regression approaches, including multilinear and deep learning ones, in accurately predicting ...
Towards predicting ECoG-BCI performance: assessing the potential of scalp-EEG * KU Leuven
Objective. Implanted brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) employ neural signals to control a computer and may offer an alternative communication channel for people with locked-in syndrome (LIS). Promising results have been obtained using signals from the sensorimotor (SM) area. However, in earlier work on home-use of an electrocorticography (ECoG)-based BCI by people with LIS, we detected differences in ECoG-BCI performance, which were related to ...
