Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 3Examining Tongue Movement Intentions in EEG with Machine and Deep Learning: An Approach for Dysphagia Rehabilitation(European Signal Processing Conference, EUSIPCO, 2024-08-26) Aslan, Sevgi Gökçe; Yılmaz, BülentConference Object Real-Time Robotic Car Control Using Brainwaves and Head Movement(IEEE, 345 E 47TH ST, NEW YORK, NY 10017 USA, 2018) Ozturk, Nedime; Yilmaz, Bulent; Onver, Ahmet YasinEmotiv Epoc Headset is a portable and low-cost device. In this study, Emotiv Epoc headset was used in order to obtain real-time gyro and EEG signals. The aim of this study was to control a robotic car in real-time by using head movement and opening and closing of the eyes. The maximum and minimum amplitude of the gyro signal, and the ratios of the beta waves of O1 and O2 channel to alpha waves of the same channels were used as threshold values. These threshold values were used to determine the direction of the robotic car. Because of its low-cost and easy implementation, Arduino Uno was used to manage the robotic car. This study has shown that brain waves and head movements can control a device in real time. This system has the potential to be used in neurofeedback and brain-computer interface applications.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 12Use of Topological Data Analysis in Motor Intention Based Brain-Computer Interfaces(European Signal Processing Conference, EUSIPCO, 2018-09) Altindis, Fatih; Yilmaz, Bulent; İçöz, Kutay; Borisenok, S.This study aims to investigate the use of topological data analysis in electroencephalography (EEG) based on brain-computer interface (BCI) applications. Our study focused on extracting topological features of EEG signals obtained from the motor cortex area of the brain. EEG signals from 8 subjects were used for forming data point clouds with a real-time simulation scenario and then each cloud was processed with JPlex toolbox in order to find out corresponding Betti numbers. These numbers represent the topological structure of the point data cloud related to the persistent homologies, which differ for different motor activity tasks. The estimated Betti numbers has been used as features in k-NN classifier to discriminate left or right hand motor intentions. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Sliding Window and Filterbank Utilization on Riemannian Geometry(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022-08-08) Altindis, Fatih; Yilmaz, BulentRiemannian geometry-based signal processing approaches on EEG signals provides similar decoding performance compared to state-of-the-art methods. However, Riemannian geometry framework requires predefine EEG signal epoch that is to be used in the analysis. Sliding window approach that operates in Riemannian geometry proposed to enable use of EEG signals without constrained by the record length. Decoding performance of tangent space mapping was increased more than 6% in overall accuracy compared the previous study's results. Instead of using single band-pass filter, utilization of filterbank is proposed to increase decoding performance. Distance based Riemannian classifier's overall performance were increased by 5% compared to standard Riemannian geometry approach. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 15Relationship Between Objective and Subjective Cognitive Load Measurements in Multimedia Learning(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020-11-15) Mutlu-Bayraktar, Duygu; Ozel, Pinar; Altindis, Fatih; Yilmaz, BulentThe aim of this study is to compare subjective and objective cognitive load measurements in a multimedia learning environment. For this purpose, 20 university students studied in multimedia environments designed by researchers during which eye movements and multichannel electroencephalography (EEG) signals were recorded. Self-report ratings were obtained at the end of the experiment, and retention performances of the students were measured. After the data were collected, Pearson Correlation analysis was applied. According to the results, significant relationship between the number of fixations and EEG frequency band powers was found. In addition, there was a negative relationship between retention performance and number of fixations. Moreover, a negative relationship was found between retention performance and self-reported measurements.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 21Parameter Investigation of Topological Data Analysis for EEG Signals(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021-01) Altindis, Fatih; Yilmaz, Bulent; Borisenok, Sergey; Icoz, KutayTopological data analysis (TDA) methods have become appealing in EEG signal processing, because they may help the scientists explore new features of complex and large amount of data by simplifying the process from a geometrical perspective. Time delay embedding is a common approach to embed EEG signals into the state space. Parameters of this embedding method are variable and the structure of the state space can be entirely different depending on their selection. Additionally, extracted persistent homologies of the state spaces depend on filtration level and the number of points used. In this study, we showed how to adapt false nearest neighbor (FNN) test to find out the suitable/optimal time embedding parameters (i.e., time delay and embedding dimension) for EEG signals, and compared their effects on different types of artefacts and motor intention waves that are commonly used in brain-computer interfaces. We extracted and compared persistent homologies of state spaces that were reconstructed with four different sets of parameters. Later, the effect of filtration level on extracted persistent homologies was compared, and statistical significance levels were computed between leftand right-hand movement imaginations. Finally, computational cost of the discussed methods was found, and the adaptability of this method to a real-time application was evaluated. We demonstrated that the discussed parameters of the TDA approach were highly crucial to extract true topological features of the EEG signals, and the adapted testing approaches depicted the applicability of this approach on real-time analysis of EEG signals.Article Citation - WoS: 57Citation - Scopus: 76Like/Dislike Analysis Using EEG: Determination of Most Discriminative Channels and Frequencies(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2014-02) Yilmaz, Bulent; Korkmaz, Sumeyye; Arslan, Dilek Betul; Gungor, Evrim; Asyali, Musa H.In this study, we have analyzed electroencephalography (EEG) signals to investigate the following issues, (i) which frequencies and EEG channels could be relatively better indicators of preference (like or dislike decisions) of consumer products, (ii) timing characteristic of "like" decisions during such mental processes. For this purpose, we have obtained multi-channel EEG recordings from 15 subjects, during total of 16 epochs of 10 s long, while they were presented with some shoe photographs. When they liked a specific shoe, they pressed on a button and marked the time of this activity and the particular epoch was labeled as a LIKE case. No button press meant that the subject did not like the particular shoe that was displayed and corresponding epoch designated as a DISLIKE case. After preprocessing, power spectral density (PSD) of EEG data was estimated at different frequencies (4, 5, ... , 40 Hz) using the Burg method, for each epoch corresponding to one shoe presentation. Each subject's data consisted of normalized PSD values (NPVs) from all LIKE and DISLIKE cases/epochs coming from all 19 EEG channels. In order to determine the most discriminative frequencies and channels, we have utilized logistic regression, where LIKE/DISLIKE status was used as a categorical (binary) response variable and corresponding NPVs were the continuously valued input variables or predictors. We observed that when all the NPVs (total of 37) are used as predictors, the regression problem was becoming ill-posed due to large number of predictors (compared to the number of samples) and high correlation among predictors. To circumvent this issue, we have divided the frequency band into low frequency (LF) 4-19 Hz and high frequency (HF) 20-40 Hz bands and analyzed the influence of the NPV in these bands separately. Then, using the p-values that indicate how significantly estimated predictor weights are different than zero, we have determined the NPVs and channels that are more influential in determining the outcome, i. e., like/dislike decision. In the LF band, 4 and 5 Hz were found to be the most discriminative frequencies (MDFs). In the HF band, none of the frequencies seemed offer significant information. When both male and female data was used, in the LF band, a frontal channel on the left (F7-A1) and a temporal channel on the right (T6-A2) were found to be the most discriminative channels (MDCs). In the HF band, MDCs were central (Cz-A1) and occipital on the left (O1-A1) channels. The results of like timings suggest that male and female behavior for this set of stimulant images were similar.

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.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Detection of Epileptic Seizures With Tangent Space Mapping Features of EEG Signals(IEEE, 2021-11-04) Altindis, Fatih; Yilmaz, BulentDetection of epileptic seizures from EEG signals is well-studied topic for the last couple of decades. Lately, automated signal processing and machine learning methods were developed to detect epileptic seizures. However, most of the methods are tailored to subjects and require fine tuning of many parameters. In this study, we proposed to use Riemannian geometry-based signal processing method that already showed superior performance on brain-computer interface problems, to extract features. We showed that tangent space mapping features of EEG signals can be used to detect seizures with high accuracy and precision.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Beyin Dalgalari ve Baş Hareketiyle Gerçek Zamanli Robotik Araba Kontrolü(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-11) Oztürk, Nedime; Yilmaz, Bulent; Onver, Ahmet YasinEmotiv Epoc Headset is a portable and low-cost device.
