Temporal Modeling of EEG Signals using Block Sparse Variational Bayes Framework

18 Dec 2018-

TL;DR: Results show that the proposed temporal model is highly useful in processing SSVEP-EEG signals irrespective of the recognition algorithms used.

AbstractCompressed Sensing (CS) has emerged as an alternate method to acquire high dimensional signals effectively by exploiting the sparsity assumption. However, owing to non-sparse and non-stationary nature, it is extremely difficult to process Electroencephalograph (EEG) signals using CS paradigm. The success of Bayesian algorithms in recovering non-sparse signals has triggered the research in CS based models for neurophysiological signal processing. In this paper, we address the problem of Temporal Modeling of EEG Signals using Block Sparse Variational Bayes (SVB) Framework. Temporal correlation of EEG signals is modeled blockwise using normal variance scale mixtures parameterized via some random and deterministic parameters. Variational inference is exploited to infer the random parameters and Expectation Maximization (EM) is used to obtain the estimate of deterministic parameters. To validate the framework, we present experimental results for benchmark State Visual Evoked Potential (SSVEP) dataset with 40-target Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) speller using two frequency recognition algorithms viz. Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) and L1-regularized Multiway CCA. Results show that the proposed temporal model is highly useful in processing SSVEP-EEG signals irrespective of the recognition algorithms used.

TL;DR: The effect of the threshold to prune out variance parameters of algorithms corresponding to several choices of marginals, viz. multivariate Jeffery prior, multivariate Laplace distribution and multivariate Student’s t distribution is discussed.
Abstract: We present some details of Bayesian block sparse modeling using hierarchical prior having deterministic and random parameters when entries within the blocks are correlated. In particular, the effect of the threshold to prune out variance parameters of algorithms corresponding to several choices of marginals, viz. multivariate Jeffery prior, multivariate Laplace distribution and multivariate Student’s t distribution, is discussed. We also provide details of experiments with Electroencephalograph (EEG) data which shed some light on the possible applicability of the proposed Sparse Variational Bayes framework.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the model problem of reconstructing an object from incomplete frequency samples and showed that with probability at least 1-O(N/sup -M/), f can be reconstructed exactly as the solution to the lscr/sub 1/ minimization problem.
Abstract: This paper considers the model problem of reconstructing an object from incomplete frequency samples. Consider a discrete-time signal f/spl isin/C/sup N/ and a randomly chosen set of frequencies /spl Omega/. Is it possible to reconstruct f from the partial knowledge of its Fourier coefficients on the set /spl Omega/? A typical result of this paper is as follows. Suppose that f is a superposition of |T| spikes f(t)=/spl sigma//sub /spl tau//spl isin/T/f(/spl tau/)/spl delta/(t-/spl tau/) obeying |T|/spl les/C/sub M//spl middot/(log N)/sup -1/ /spl middot/ |/spl Omega/| for some constant C/sub M/>0. We do not know the locations of the spikes nor their amplitudes. Then with probability at least 1-O(N/sup -M/), f can be reconstructed exactly as the solution to the /spl lscr//sub 1/ minimization problem. In short, exact recovery may be obtained by solving a convex optimization problem. We give numerical values for C/sub M/ which depend on the desired probability of success. Our result may be interpreted as a novel kind of nonlinear sampling theorem. In effect, it says that any signal made out of |T| spikes may be recovered by convex programming from almost every set of frequencies of size O(|T|/spl middot/logN). Moreover, this is nearly optimal in the sense that any method succeeding with probability 1-O(N/sup -M/) would in general require a number of frequency samples at least proportional to |T|/spl middot/logN. The methodology extends to a variety of other situations and higher dimensions. For example, we show how one can reconstruct a piecewise constant (one- or two-dimensional) object from incomplete frequency samples - provided that the number of jumps (discontinuities) obeys the condition above - by minimizing other convex functionals such as the total variation of f.
