Multi-Feature Attention Convolutional Neural Network for Motor Imagery Decoding

Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a communication method that connects the nervous system to the external environment. Motor Imagery (MI) is the cornerstone of BCI research, referring to the internal rehearsal before physical execution. Non-invasive techniques such as Electroencephalography (EEG) can record neural activities with high temporal reso...

Feasibility, Safety, and Performance of Full-Scalp Subdural EEG - A Report on Minimally Invasive Electrode Implantation Background and Purpose Since Berger first recorded human scalp electrical signals and discovered the alpha rhythm in 1929, the recording capabilities of electroencephalography (EEG) have significantly improved in terms of spatial ...

Method for Localizing the Seizure Onset Zone in Refractory Epilepsy Patients

In recent years, refractory epilepsy has received increasing attention from the medical community. Refractory epilepsy is defined as the continuing occurrence of severe seizures despite treatment with two appropriate antiepileptic drugs. For patients who are unresponsive to drug treatment, if the seizure onset zone (SOZ) can be accurately localized...
