Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have been widely used to improve or restore neural functions. For stroke patients, BCIs based on motor training show a promising potential in motor rehabilitation. However, the neural mechanism and the effects of different time course in motor rehabilitation remain unclear. To this end, our study focused on the BCI based neurofeedback training (NFT) design and its evaluation method. During motor imagery and execution (MI/ME) tasks, electroencephalogram (EEG) and electromyogram (EMG) were synchronously recorded and probed. We found the multi-band changes of coupling EEG-EMG features. Additionally, the longterm motor NFT significantly improved the cortical-muscle activation, while non-feedback training improved less. These relevant results give a theoretical basis to the development and application of new neural rehabilitation technology.

Combinations of steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) and electromyography (EMG) are one of the most widely used hybrid brain-computer interfaces (BCI). For users who are suffering from severe motor impairments and could only control muscles above their necks, the EMG of jaw clench is commonly used together with SSVEP. Traditional asynchronous signal collecting and serial processing method is time-consuming. This study explored the simultaneous classification of SSVEP and jaw clench-related EMG from the same occipital electrodes. A convolutional neural network (CNN) model was adopted to classify the fusion signal after extracting different time and frequency domain features. Synchronous 12-class identification from 3 jaw clench patterns and 4 stimulate frequencies was tested on ten subjects. The 10-folder cross-validation results showed that using only 4 occipital electrodes, the CNN model with continuous wavelet transform feature achieved the overall best 89.3±4.0% accuracy for sync 12-class. Besides, the parallel acquiring and analyzing method has the lowest consuming time. The proposed method could reduce the signal channels and shorten the collect-process time of the SSVEP-EMG hybrid BCI.

Quantitative measurement of Soot Volume Fraction (SVF) is an essential prerequisite for controlling soot particle emissions from aero-engine combustors. As an in-situ and non-intrusive optical diagnostic technique, Laser-Induced Incandescence (LII) has been increasingly applied for soot concentration quantification in various combustion environments such as laminar flame, vehicle exhaust, internal combustion chamber as well as aero-engine combustor. In this work, we experimentally measured the spatial and temporal distribution of SVF using two-color LII technique at the outlet of a single-sector dual-swirl aero-engine model combustor. The effect of inlet pressure and air preheat temperature on the SVF distribution was separately investigated within a pressure range of 241–425 kPa and a temperature range of 292–500 K. The results show that soot production increases with the inlet pressure but generally decreases with the air preheat temperature. Qualitative analysis was provided to explain the above results of parametric studies. The LII experiments were also conducted under 3 designed conditions to evaluate soot emission under practical operations. Particularly, weak soot emission was detected at the outlet under the idle condition. Our experimental results provide a valuable benchmark for evaluating soot emission in the exhaust plume of this aero-engine combustor during practical operations.
