Encoder with the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) to remove muscle artefacts from EEG signal

This paper introduces a novel method for effectively removing artifacts from EEG signals by combining the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) method with a machine learning architecture. The proposed method addresses the limitations of existing artifact removal techniques by enhancing the EMD method through interpolation of the upper and lower. For conventional artifact removal methods, the EMD technique is commonly employed. However, the challenge lies in accurately interpolating the missing components of the signal while preserving its inherent frequency components. To overcome this limitation, we incorporated machine learning technique, which enables us to carefully handle the interpolation process without directly manipulating the data. The key advantage of our approach lies in the preservation of the natural characteristics of the EEG signal during artifact removal. By utilizing machine learning for interpolation, we ensure that the average component obtained through the EMD method retains the crucial frequency components of the original signal. This preservation is essential for maintaining the integrity and fidelity of the EEG data, allowing for accurate analysis and interpretation. The results obtained from our evaluation serve to validate the effectiveness of our approach and pave the way for further advancements in EEG signal processing and analysis.

Three Approaches to the Automation of Laser System Alignment and Their Resource Implications: A Case Study

The alignment of optical systems is a critical step in their manufacture. Alignment normally requires considerable knowledge and expertise of skilled operators. The automation of such processes has several potential advantages, but requires additional resource and upfront costs. Through a case study of a simple two mirror system we identify and examine three different automation approaches. They are: artificial neural networks; practice-led, which mimics manual alignment practices; and design-led, modelling from first principles. We find that these approaches make use of three different types of knowledge 1) basic system knowledge (of controls, measurements and goals); 2) behavioural skills and expertise, and 3) fundamental system design knowledge. We demonstrate that the different automation approaches vary significantly in human resources, and measurement sampling budgets. This will have implications for practitioners and management considering the automation of such tasks.

EEG for fatigue monitoring

Physiological fatigue, a state of reduced cognitive and physical performance resulting from prolonged mental or physical exertion, poses significant challenges in various domains, including healthcare, aviation, transportation, and industrial sectors. As the understanding of fatigue's impact on human performance grows, there is a growing interest in developing effective fatigue monitoring techniques. Among these techniques, electroencephalography (EEG) has emerged as a promising tool for objectively assessing physiological fatigue due to its non-invasiveness, high temporal resolution, and sensitivity to neural activity. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the current state of the use of EEG for monitoring physiological fatigue.

Device JNEEG to convert Jetson Nano to brain-Computer interfaces. Short report

Artificial intelligence has made significant advances in recent years and this has had an impact on the field of neuroscience. As a result, different architectures have been implemented to extract features from EEG signals in real time. However, the use of such architectures requires a lot of computing power. As a result, EEG devices typically act only as transmitters of EEG data, with the actual data processing taking place in a third-party device. That's expensive and not compact. In this paper, we present a shield that allows a single-board computer, the Jetson Nano from Nvidia, to be converted into a brain-computer interface and, most importantly, the Jetson Nano's capabilities allow machine learning tools to be used directly on the data collection device. Here we present the test results of the developed device. https://github.com/HackerBCI/EEG-with-JetsonNano
