• Abstract summary: Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) decode recorded neural signals from the brain and/or stimulate the brain with encoded neural signals. BCIs have not yet been adopted for long-term, day-to-day use because of challenges related to reliability and robustness. This paper presents a new methodology for characterizing, detecting, and localizing faults in BCIs.

• Abstract: Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) decode recorded neural signals from the brain and/or stimulate the brain with encoded neural signals. BCIs span both hardware and software and have a wide range of applications in restorative medicine, from restoring movement through prostheses and robotic limbs to restoring sensation and communication through spellers. BCIs also have applications in diagnostic medicine, e.g., providing clinicians with data for detecting seizures, sleep patterns, or emotions. Despite their promise, BCIs have not yet been adopted for long-term, day-to-day use because of challenges related to reliability and robustness, which are needed for safe operation in all scenarios. Ensuring safe operation currently requires hours of manual data collection and recalibration, involving both patients and clinicians. However, data collection is not targeted at eliminating specific faults in a BCI. This paper presents a new methodology for characterizing, detecting, and localizing faults in BCIs. Specifically, it proposes partial test oracles as a method for detecting faults and slice functions as a method for localizing faults to characteristic patterns in the input data or relevant tasks performed by the user. Through targeted data acquisition and retraining, the proposed methodology improves the correctness of BCIs. We evaluated the proposed methodology on five BCI applications. The results show that the proposed methodology (1) precisely localizes faults and (2) can significantly reduce the frequency of faults through retraining based on targeted, fault-based data acquisition. These results suggest that the proposed methodology is a promising step towards repairing faulty BCIs.

  Deep learning models have shown promise for automatically segmenting MS lesions, but the scarcity of accurately annotated data hinders progress in this area. We introduce a Decoupled Hard Label Correction (DHLC) strategy that considers the imbalanced distribution and fuzzy boundaries of MS lesions. We also introduce a Centrally Enhanced Label Correction (CELC) strategy, which leverages the aggregated central model as a correction teacher for all sites.

• Pain level and pain-related behaviour classification using GRU-based sparsely-connected RNNs [61.080598804629375]
  People with chronic pain unconsciously adapt specific body movements to protect themselves from injury or additional pain. Because there is no dedicated benchmark database to analyse this correlation, we considered one of the specific circumstances that potentially influence a person's biometrics during daily activities. We proposed a sparsely-connected recurrent neural networks (s-RNNs) ensemble with the gated recurrent unit (GRU) that incorporates multiple autoencoders. We conducted several experiments which indicate that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches in classifying both pain level and pain-related behaviour.

  The inter/intra-subject variability of electroencephalography (EEG) makes the practical use of the brain-computer interface (BCI) difficult. We propose a BCI framework using only high-confidence subjects for TL training. In our framework, a deep neural network selects useful subjects for the TL process and excludes noisy subjects, using a co-teaching algorithm based on the small-loss trick.
