Objective: The patterns of brain activity associated with different brain processes can be used to identify different brain states and make behavioral predictions. However, the relevant features are not readily apparent and accessible. Our aim is to design a system for learning informative latent representations from multichannel recordings of ongo...

Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have recently demonstrated impressive results in electroencephalogram (EEG) decoding for several Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) paradigms, including Motor-Imagery (MI). However, neurophysiological processes underpinning EEG signals vary across subjects causing covariate shifts in data distributions and henc...

Transfer learning and meta-learning offer some of the most promising avenues to unlock the scalability of healthcare and consumer technologies driven by biosignal data. This is because current methods cannot generalise well across human subjects' data and handle learning from different heterogeneously collected data sets, thus limiting the scale of...

Building subject-independent deep learning models for EEG decoding faces the challenge of strong covariate-shift across different datasets, subjects and recording sessions. Our approach to address this difficulty is to explicitly align feature distributions at various layers of the deep learning model, using both simple statistical techniques as we...

Patterns of brain activity are associated with different brain processes and can be used to identify different brain states and make behavioral predictions. However, the relevant features are not readily apparent and accessible. To mine informative latent representations from multichannel EEG recordings, we propose a novel differentiable EEG decodi...

A dynamic network approach to music appraisal estimation from surface EEG

Objective: The aesthetic evaluation of music is strongly dependent on the listener and reflects manifold brain processes that go well beyond the perception of incident sound. Being a high-level cognitive reaction, it is difficult to predict merely from the acoustic features of the audio signal and this poses serious challenges to contemporary musi...
