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.Article Citation - WoS: 56Citation - Scopus: 69Synchrosqueezing Transform Based Feature Extraction From EEG Signals for Emotional State Prediction(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2019-07) Ozel, Pinar; Akan, Aydin; Yilmaz, BulentThis paper presents a novel method for emotion recognition based on time-frequency analysis using multivariate synchrosqueezing transform (MSST) of multichannel electroencephalography (EEG) signals. With the advancements of the multichannel sensor applications, the need for multivariate algorithms has become obvious for extracting features that stem from multichannel dependency in addition to mono-channel features. In order to model the joint oscillatory structure of these multichannel signals, MSST has recently been proposed. It uses the concepts of joint instantaneous frequency and bandwidth. Electrophysiological data processing mostly requires joint time-frequency analysis in addition to both time and frequency analysis separately. The short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and wavelet transform (WT) are the main approaches utilized in time-frequency analysis. In this paper, the feasibility and performance of multivariate wavelet-based synchrosqueezing algorithm was demonstrated on EEG signals obtained from publically available DEAP database by comparing with its univariate version. Eight emotional states were considered by combining arousal-valence and dominance dimensions. Using linear support vector machines (SVM) as a classifier, MSST and its univariate version resulted in the highest prediction accuracy rates of (9) over tilde3% among all emotional states.

Two different multimedia learning environments in a focused (integrated) and split-attention (separated) format were designed. The experimental design method was used. The participants consisted of 44 students divided into two groups for focused attention and split-attention. There were significant differences between the fixation, brain wave, and retention performance of the two groups. Fixations of the split-attention group were higher than the focused attention group. A significant difference was found in the focused attention group in the alpha brain wave in the frontal region for intra-group comparisons and in the split-attention group in the beta brain wave in the frontal area for the inter-group comparison. The retention performance of the focused attention group was higher than the split-attention group. Accordingly, more cognitive activity emerged in environments where the text was not integrated into the picture. Additionally, the narration of text instead of printed text is effective for focusing attention. To prevent the emergence of a split-attention effect, the text should be integrated into the picture in designs. Due to the split-attention effect, the eye-tracking and EEG data were different between the groups.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Noise-Assisted Multivariate Empirical Mode Decomposition Based Emotion Recognition(Istanbul Univ-Cerrahapasa, 2018-08-03) Ozel, Pinar; Akan, Aydin; Yilmaz, BulentEmotion state detection or emotion recognition cuts across different disciplines because of the many parameters that embrace the brain's complex neural structure, signal processing methods, and pattern recognition algorithms. Currently, in addition to classical time-frequency methods, emotional state data have been processed via data-driven methods such as empirical mode decomposition (EMD). Despite its various benefits, EMD has several drawbacks: it is intended for univariate data; it is prone to mode mixing; and the number of local extrema must be enough before the EMD process can begin. To overcome these problems, this study employs a multivariate EMD and its noise-assisted version in the emotional state classification of electroencephalogram signals.

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. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 3İki Durumlu Bir Beyin Bilgisayar Arayüzünde Özellik Çıkarımı ve Sınıflandırma(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016-10) Altindis, Fatih; Yilmaz, BulentBrain 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 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.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 5Emotion Detection Using Multivariate Synchrosqueezing Transform via 2D Circumplex Model(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Ozel, Pinar; Akan, Aydin; Yilmaz, Bulent; Özel, Pınar; Akan, Aydin I.; Yilmaz, BulentEmotion detection by utilizing signal processing methods is a challenging area. An open issue in emotional modeling is to obtain an optimum feature set to use for the classification process. This study proposes an approach for emotional state classification by the investigation of EEG signals via multivariate synchrosqueezing transform (MSST). MSST is a post-processing technique to compose a localized time-frequency representation yielding multivariate syncyrosqueezing coefficients. After obtaining these coefficients from EEG signals for 18 subjects from DEAP dataset, coefficients and self-assessment-mannequins (SAM) labels of those subjects are used for emotional state classification by using support vector machines (SVM) nearest neighbor, decision tree, and ensemble methods. The accuracy rate is 70.6% for high valence high arousal (HVHA), 75.4% for low valence high arousal (LVHA), 77.8% for high valence low arousal (HVLA), and 77.2% for low valence low arousal (LVLA) cases using SVM. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
