Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an emerging neuroimaging technique for measuring brain activity.
  • fNIRS measures haemoglobin concentration changes, reflecting neural activity, making it suitable for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs).
  • Developing efficient signal processing algorithms is crucial for extracting meaningful neural features from fNIRS data for BCI applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze brain haemodynamic responses for BCI applications.
  • To develop an efficient signal processing algorithm for extracting mental-task-relevant neural features from fNIRS data.
  • To optimize classification performance in BCIs using fNIRS signals.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a 19-channel fNIRS system to record frontal cortex brain activity from nine subjects.
  • Developed a signal processing algorithm employing continuous wavelet transforms (CWTs) for multi-scale decomposition and soft thresholding for de-noising.
  • Compared the performance of three machine learning algorithms using de-noised wavelet coefficients as input features.

Main Results:

  • De-noised wavelet coefficients derived from CWTs served as effective input features for BCI classification.
  • Classifier performance was influenced by the choice of mother wavelet used in the CWT decomposition.
  • Quantitative results demonstrated the efficiency of CWTs in extracting relevant brain haemodynamic features across multiple frequencies when an appropriate mother wavelet was selected.

Conclusions:

  • Continuous Wavelet Transforms (CWTs) are effective for extracting key brain haemodynamic features for BCIs.
  • The selection of an appropriate mother wavelet is critical for optimizing feature extraction and classification accuracy.
  • A specific combination of input features and machine learning classifiers yielded the best BCI performance.
