• Abstract: Machine learning models are known to be vulnerable to adversarial perturbations in the input domain, causing incorrect predictions. Inspired by this phenomenon, we explore the feasibility of manipulating EEG-based Motor Imagery (MI) Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) via perturbations in sensory stimuli. Similar to adversarial examples, these \emph{adversarial stimuli} aim to exploit the limitations of the integrated brain-sensor-processing components of the BCI system in handling shifts in participants' response to changes in sensory stimuli. This paper proposes adversarial stimuli as an attack vector against BCIs, and reports the findings of preliminary experiments on the impact of visual adversarial stimuli on the integrity of EEG-based MI BCIs. Our findings suggest that minor adversarial stimuli can significantly deteriorate the performance of MI BCIs across all participants (p=0.0003). Additionally, our results indicate that such attacks are more effective in conditions with induced stress.

• 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.
