Bayesian Non-parametric Models for Synchronous Brain-Computer Interfaces: In this work a method for modeling temporal dynamics of brain signals is presented. The Dirichlet Process HMM automatically selects the number of hidden states directly form data. This is traduced in an increased performance in the classification of imaginary motor tasks from EEG signals. [Arxiv.org, 2016 ]
Asynchronous decoding of finger movements from ECoG signals using long-range dependencies conditional random fields: In this work a method based on Conditional Random Fields (CRF) is presented for asynchronous classification of finger movements from Electro-corticographic (ECoG) recordings. The CRF models extrinsic dynamics of the motor task executed by the subject, improving effectively the classification performance. [Journal of Neural Engineering, 2016].
Word-level language modeling for P300 spellers based on discriminative graphical models: In this word a framework for a BCI based on the P300 Speller is presented. A graphical model that includes modeling of the language at the level of words is used to predict the intention of the subject while writing words. The system provides a highly significant improvement in the number of letters correctly decoded per minute compared to traditional methods. [Journal of Neural Engineering, 2015 ]
Discriminative Methods for Classification of Asynchronous Imaginary Motor Tasks from EEG Data: In this work a probabilistic graphical model able to model intrinsic and extrinsic dynamics of the EEG signals during motor imagination is presented. Extrinsic dynamics are model using training data and then used as prior information for the prediction of the execution of the movement task in an asynchronous BCI. Results show a significant increase in the performance of the system. [IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems & Rehabilitation Engineering, 2013]
A latent discriminative model-based approach for classification of imaginary motor tasks from EEG : In this work a method based on the Hidden Conditional Random Field probabilistic graphical model is proposed for modeling of the temporal dynamics of the brain signals during imagination of motor movements. The method define hidden states that describe the course of the brain signals in particular frequency bands. This states are learned for each condition and in the testing state the model with higher likelihood to have had generated the data define the type of imagination executed for the subject.
