    Examining Tongue Movement Intentions in EEG With Machine and Deep Learning: An Approach for Dysphagia Rehabilitation
    (IEEE, 2024-08-26) Aslan, Sevgi Gokce; Yilmaz, Bulent
    Dysphagia, a common swallowing disorder particularly prevalent among older adults and often associated with neurological conditions, significantly affects individuals' quality of life by negatively impacting their eating habits, physical health, and social interactions. This study investigates the potential of brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies in dysphagia rehabilitation, focusing specifically on motor imagery paradigms based on EEG signals and integration with machine learning and deep learning methods for tongue movement. Traditional machine learning classifiers, such as K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree, Naive Bayes, Random Forest, AdaBoost, Bagging, Kernel, and Neural Network were employed in discrimination of rest and imagination phases of EEG signals obtained from 30 healthy subjects. Scalogram images obtained using continuous wavelet transform of EEG signals corresponding to the rest and imagination phases of the experiment were used as the input images to the CNN architecture. As a result, KNN and SVM, exhibited lower accuracy rates compared to ensemble methods like AdaBoost and Random Forest, which are effective in handling complex datasets. Additionally, a deep learning approach achieved an accuracy rate of 83%. Overall, this study demonstrates the promising role of BCI technologies and machine learning techniques in dysphagia rehabilitation.

    Distinguishing Resting State From Motor Imagery Swallowing Using EEG and Deep Learning Models
    (IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2024) Aslan, Sevgi Gokce; Yilmaz, Bulent
    The primary aim of this study was to assess the classification performance of deep learning models in distinguishing between resting state and motor imagery swallowing, utilizing various preprocessing and data visualization techniques applied to electroencephalography (EEG) data. In this study, we performed experiments using four distinct paradigms such as natural swallowing, induced saliva swallowing, induced water swallowing, and induced tongue protrusion on 30 right-handed individuals (aged 18 to 56). We utilized a 16-channel wearable EEG headset. We thoroughly investigated the impact of different preprocessing methods (Independent Component Analysis, Empirical Mode Decomposition, bandpass filtering) and visualization techniques (spectrograms, scalograms) on the classification performance of multichannel EEG signals. Additionally, we explored the utilization and potential contributions of deep learning models, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), in EEG-based classification processes. The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive examination of the potential of deep learning models, specifically in distinguishing between resting state and motor imagery swallowing processes, using a diverse combination of EEG signal preprocessing and visualization techniques. The results showed that it was possible to distinguish the resting state from the imagination of swallowing with 89.8% accuracy, especially using continuous wavelet transform (CWT) based scalograms. The findings of this study may provide significant contributions to the development of effective methods for the rehabilitation and treatment of swallowing difficulties based on motor imagery-based brain computer interfaces.

    İki Durumlu Bir Beyin Bilgisayar Arayüzünde Özellik Çıkarımı ve Sınıflandırma
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016-10) Altindis, Fatih; Yilmaz, Bulent
    Brain Computer Interface (BCI) technology is used to help patients who do not have control over motor neurons such as ALS or paralyzed patients, to communicate with outer world. This work aims to classify motor imageries using real-time EEG dataset, which was published by Graz University, Austria. The dataset consists of two-channel EEG signals of right-hand movement imagery and left-hand movement imagery of 8 subjects. There are a total of 120 motor imagery trials (60 left and 60 right) EEG signals recorded from each subject. EEG signals are filtered and feature vectors were extracted that consist of 24, 32 and 40 relative band power values (RBPV). In this work, feature vectors classified by three different methods, linear discriminant analysis (LDA), K nearest neighbor (KNN) and support vector machines (SVM). Results show that best performance was achieved by 24 RBPV feature vector and LDA classification method. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a system that provides a means to control prosthesis, wheelchair, or similar devices using brain waves without direct motor nervous system involvement. For this purpose, brain waves obtained from multiple electrodes placed on the scalp (EEG, Electroencephalogram) are used. Emotiv Epoc used to obtain EEG signals is a low-cost device and has real-time applications. The aim of this study is the detection of rest, imagination and real movement using EEG signals obtained by Emotiv Epoc headset. As a result, As a result, the data obtained from 39 trials from a female subject were classified resting, motion imagination and movement, according to 97.4% accuracy by using the statistical features of distortion, logarithm energy entropy, energy, Shannon entropy and kurtosis. In this study, it has been shown that this system can be remarkably successful for BCI applications. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

These ensemble techniques proved to be highly effective in handling complex EEG datasets, particularly in distinguishing between rest and imagination phases. Furthermore, the deep learning approach, utilizing CNN and Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT), achieved an accuracy of 83%, highlighting its potential in analyzing motor imagery data. Overall, this study demonstrates the promising role of BCI technologies and advanced machine learning techniques, especially ensemble and deep learning methods, in improving outcomes for dysphagia rehabilitation.

    Detection of Movement Intention in EEG-Based Brain-Computer Interfaces Using Fourier-Based Synchrosqueezing Transform
    (World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2021) Karakullukcu, Nedime; Yilmaz, Bulent
    Patients with motor impairments need caregivers' help to initiate the operation of brain-computer interfaces (BCI). This study aims to identify and characterize movement intention using multichannel electroencephalography (EEG) signals as a means to initiate BCI systems without extra accessories/methodologies. We propose to discriminate the resting and motor imagery (MI) states with high accuracy using Fourier-based synchrosqueezing transform (FSST) as a feature extractor. FSST has been investigated and compared with other popular approaches in 28 healthy subjects for a total of 6657 trials. The accuracy and f-measure values were obtained as 99.8% and 0.99, respectively, when FSST was used as the feature extractor and singular value decomposition (SVD) as the feature selection method and support vector machines as the classifier. Moreover, this study investigated the use of data that contain certain amount of noise without any preprocessing in addition to the clean counterparts. Furthermore, the statistical analysis of EEG channels with the best discrimination (of resting and MI states) characteristics demonstrated that F4-Fz-C3-Cz-C4-Pz channels and several statistical features had statistical significance levels, p, less than 0.05. This study showed that the preparation of the movement can be detected in real-time employing FSST-SVD combination and several channels with minimal pre-processing effort.
