brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have shown promise in supporting communication for individuals with motor or speech impairments. Recent advancements such as brain-to-speech or brain-to-image technology aim to reconstruct speech from neural activity. However, robust decoding of communication-related paradigms, such as imagined speech and visual imagery, using non-invasive techniques still remains challenging. This study analyzes brain dynamics in these two paradigms by examining neural synchronization and functional connectivity through phase-locking values (PLV) in noninvasively collected EEG data. Results show that visual imagery produces higher PLV values in visual cortex, engaging spatial networks, while imagined speech demonstrates consistent synchronization, primarily engaging language-related regions. These findings suggest that imagined speech is suitable for language-driven BCI applications, while visual imagery can complement BCI systems for users with speech impairments. Furthermore, the brain connectivity results implies that personalized calibration is crucial for optimizing BCI performance.

Motor Imagery (MI) is essential in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), highlighting the central role of electroencephalography (EEG) in this technology. However, the amount of raw EEG data is often limited. Raw EEG data contains significant noise caused by individual and task-specific differences. These complications often necessitate the removal of noise, making it crucial to develop robust models capable of maintaining performance. To achieve this, synthetic data is essential to obtain cleaner signals. This paper presents a novel a novel contrastive diffusion model to adaptive synthesize clean signals for Motor Imagery Classification (CDASC-MI), achieved through three components: Clean Signal Extractor(CSE) for clean signal feature learning, Adapative Noise Extractor(ANE) for adaptively extracting subject noise and task noise, and Contrastive Module for further separating noise to obtain cleaner signals. Specifically, we first proposed the novel Cell-UNET in CSE, which is an architecture with progressive learning capabilities to effectively capture subtle changes in EEG signals. Additionally, ANE incorporates a novel Subject Feature Learning Network(SFLNet) and Cross-Domain Electrode Attention Network (CDANet). SFLNet and CDANet dynamically capturing variation subject noise and task noise. Ultimately, a Contrastive Module is designed to use contrastive learning during the denoising process to amplify the differences between clean signals and noise, ensuring robust denoising and clearer feature representation. According to experimental results from two public datasets, the proposed method achieved superior accuracies of 96.19% and 89.19%, outperforming existing approaches. It highlights its potential as a powerful method for augmenting EEG datasets and improving the accuracy and highlight its broad application values.

Nearly 50 million individuals are diagnosed with neurodegenerative diseases every year. Moreover, this figure is expected to grow as the population grows older. These neurodegenerative diseases have had a profound impact on the neurological functioning of an individual. For instance, being diagnosed with cerebral palsy has been correlated with poor movement and coordination, atypical development patterns, and communication and swallowing difficulties. To help these struggling individuals, scientists have developed a plethora of technologies to assimilate them into day-to-day life. For example, botox injections are commonly used to relieve muscle spasms that have prevented swallowing difficulties. However, these existing treatments have all had disadvantages. For example, botox injections have commonly led to side effects, such as a crooked smile, watery and dry eyes, and flu-like symptoms. Overall, these side effects have disrupted individuals' psychological state, causing renewed calls for better treatments. Fortunately, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) provide hope for these individuals. For example, to minimize the consequences of cerebral palsy, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) allow for the usage of remaining muscular pathways as a substitute for paralyzed muscles. This substitution allows for the eyes and hands to have renewed control over communication devices. In this research paper, we will analyze techniques to optimize the strength of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) by specifically analyzing how the CLONALG algorithm will enhance the strength of brain-computer interfaces.

brain-computer interface (BCI) studies have focused on enhancing performance, reducing computational costs, and minimizing equipment size for practical applications. One effective approach to address these challenges is minimizing the number of recording channels. Among various neuroimaging modalities used in BCI development, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has unique characteristics, requiring two optodes to form a single channel. As a result, reducing the number of NIRS channels does not necessarily decrease the total number of optodes, potentially leaving the equipment bulky and inconvenient. In this study, we propose a novel channel selection algorithm, optode-based sequential forward selection (oSFS), which enhances the traditional SFS (tSFS) algorithm by accounting for the number of optodes. The proposed oSFS explores the optimal placement of optodes by simultaneously evaluating optode pairings and classification accuracy. Both tSFS and oSFS significantly improved classification accuracy compared to using all channels, but no significant difference was found between the two methods. Notably, tSFS reduced the number of optodes by only 16% compared to using all channels, whereas oSFS reduced by 52% when obtained the highest accuracy. Our study introduces the first channel selection method tailored to the unique characteristics of NIRS, making a significant step toward the practical application of practical application of NIRS-based BCIs.

Research on neural dynamics indicates that cognitive processes are driven by metastable state transitions in the brain, which highlights the temporally discontinuous nature of brain activity. However, many existing methods fail to account for this discontinuity, limiting their effectiveness in modeling the brain’s temporal dynamics. To address this, we propose the Metastability Quantized Variational Autoencoder (MQVAE), a neurologically inspired neural network designed to capture metastable dynamics from electroencephalography (EEG) for brain-computer interface (BCI). In MQVAE, EEG signals are quantized into a time series of discrete latent variables using vector quantization. This quantization facilitates the identification of metastable states and the construction of a latent state space. To model state transition patterns, we incorporate a transformer module to capture global temporal dependencies among the discrete latent variables. Furthermore, a multi-scale spatial convolution layer is embedded within the encoder to extract hierarchical spatial patterns. Experiments on two public datasets demonstrate that MQVAE outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both emotion recognition and motor imagery classification tasks. Interpretability analyses further confirm that the features learned by MQVAE are neurophysiologically meaningful.

Modern brain-computer interfaces (BCI), utilizing electroencephalograms for bidirectional human-machine communication, face significant limitations from movement-vulnerable rigid sensors, inconsistent skin-electrode impedance, and bulky electronics, diminishing the system's continuous use and portability. Here, we introduce motion artifact-controlled micro-brain sensors between hair strands, enabling ultralow impedance density on skin contact for long-term usable, persistent BCI with augmented reality (AR). An array of low-profile microstructured electrodes with a highly conductive polymer is seamlessly inserted into the space between hair follicles, offering high-fidelity neural signal capture for up to 12 h while maintaining the lowest contact impedance density (0.03 k Omegacm-2) among reported articles. Implemented wireless BCI, detecting steady-state visually evoked potentials, offers 96.4% accuracy in signal classification with a train-free algorithm even during the subject's excessive motions, including standing, walking, and running. A demonstration captures this system's capability, showing AR-based video calling with hands-free controls using brain signals, transforming digital communication. Collectively, this research highlights the pivotal role of integrated sensors and flexible electronics technology in advancing BCI's applications for interactive digital environments.

In this review article, we present more than a decade of our work on the development of brain–computer interface (BCI)systems for the restoration of walking following neurological injuries such as spinal cord injury (SCI) or stroke. Most ofthis work has been in the domain of non-invasive electroencephalogram-based BCIs, including interfacing our system witha virtual reality environment and physical prostheses. Real-time online tests are presented to demonstrate the ability ofable-bodied subjects as well as those with SCI to purposefully operate our BCI system. Extensions of this work are alsopresented and include the development of a portable low-cost BCI suitable for at-home use, our ongoing eforts to develop afully implantable BCI for the restoration of walking and leg sensation after SCI, and our novel BCI-based therapy for strokerehabilitation.
