28Combination of Group Singular Value Decomposition and eLORETA Identifies Human EEG Networks and Responses to Transcranial PhotobiomodulationFrontiers in Human Neuroscience 16. 2022.Transcranial Photobiomodulation has demonstrated its ability to alter electrophysiological activity in the human brain. However, it is unclear how tPBM modulates brain electroencephalogram networks and is related to human cognition. In this study, we recorded 64-channel EEG from 44 healthy humans before, during, and after 8-min, right-forehead, 1,064-nm tPBM or sham stimulation with an irradiance of 257 mW/cm2. In data processing, a novel methodology by combining group singular value decompositi…Read more

13Improved Brain–Computer Interface Signal Recognition Algorithm Based on Few-Channel Motor ImageryFrontiers in Human Neuroscience 16. 2022.Common spatial pattern is an effective algorithm for extracting electroencephalogram features of motor imagery ; however, CSP mainly aims at multichannel EEG signals, and its effect in extracting EEG features with fewer channels is poor—even worse than before using CSP. To solve the above problem, a new combined feature extraction method has been proposed in this study. For EEG signals from fewer channels, wavelet packet transform, fast ensemble empirical mode decomposition, and local mean decom…Read more
