Machine Learning for BCI

5:00pm CET, 11:00am EST, 8:00am PST, 12:00am CST Presented by Christian Herff, Maastricht University Recorded brain activity displays complex non-linear dynamics and is highly participant and even session dependent. Furthermore, the signals often display many non-stationarities. To still make sense of these challenging data, specific consideration for the machine learning approach must be made.  In […]

Adaptive BCI invasive

6:00pm (CEST)/12:00pm (EST)/9:00am (PST) Presented by Amy Orsborn, University of Washington Design considerations for closed-loop decoder adaptation algorithms in invasive BCIsClosed-loop decoder adaptation (CLDA) is a powerful technique in invasive brain-computer interfaces. CLDA is frequently used to train and optimize decoding algorithms “in situ,” reducing errors in performance that arise due to differences between open […]
