Attention-Guided Graph Structure Learning Network for EEG-enabled Auditory Attention Detection

Attention-Guided Graph Structure Learning Network for EEG-enabled Auditory Attention Detection

Application of Attention-guided Graph Structure Learning Network for EEG-enabled Auditory Attention Detection Academic Background The “cocktail party effect” describes the human brain’s ability to selectively concentrate attention on one speaker while ignoring others in a multi-talker environment. However, for individuals with hearing impairments, ...

A Systematic Evaluation of Euclidean Alignment with Deep Learning for EEG Decoding

Systematic Evaluation of Euclidean Alignment with Deep Learning for EEG Decoding Background Introduction Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are widely used in brain-computer interface (BCI) tasks due to their non-invasive nature, portability, and low acquisition cost. However, EEG signals suffer from low signal-to-noise ratio, sensitivity to electr...

Auditory Cues Modulate the Short Timescale Dynamics of STN Activity During Stepping in Parkinson’s Disease

Patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) often experience gait impairments, which severely affect their quality of life. Previous studies have suggested that β-frequency (15-30 Hz) oscillatory activity in the basal ganglia may be associated with gait impairments, but the exact dynamics of these oscillations during the gait process remain unclear. Add...
