• Abstract: Brain-computer interface (BCI) based on steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP) is a popular paradigm for its simplicity and high information transfer rate (ITR). Accurate and fast SSVEP decoding is crucial for reliable BCI performance. However, conventional decoding methods demand longer time windows, and deep learning models typically require subject-specific fine-tuning, leaving challenges in achieving optimal performance in cross-subject settings. This paper proposed a biofocal masking attention-based method (SSVEP-BiMA) that synergistically leverages the native and symmetric-antisymmetric components for decoding SSVEP. By utilizing multiple signal representations, the network is able to integrate features from a wider range of sample perspectives, leading to more generalized and comprehensive feature learning, which enhances both prediction accuracy and robustness. We performed experiments on two public datasets, and the results demonstrate that our proposed method surpasses baseline approaches in both accuracy and ITR. We believe that this work will contribute to the development of more efficient SSVEP-based BCI systems.

  We propose the use of a meta-learning based precoder optimization framework to directly optimize the Rate-Splitting Multiple Access (RSMA) precoders with partial Channel State Information at the Transmitter (CSIT) By exploiting the overfitting of the compact neural network to maximize the explicit Average Sum-Rate (ASR) expression, we effectively bypass the need for any other training data while minimizing the total running time. Numerical results reveal that the meta-learning based solution achieves similar ASR performance to conventional precoder optimization in medium-scale scenarios, and significantly outperforms sub-optimal low complexity precoder algorithms in the large-scale
