EEG Data for: "Learning from Label Proportions in Brain-Computer Interfaces"
- 1. Albert Ludwig University Freiburg
Description
Data about two experiments is contained in this repository. An EEG experiment utilizing visual event-related potentials (ERPs) with N=13 healthy subjects was conducted in addition to a smaller study with N=5 subjects performing both an auditory and a visual ERP paradigm.
The dataset is used and described in the following journal article:
Hübner, D., Verhoeven, T., Schmid, K., Müller, K. R., Tangermann, M., & Kindermans, P. J. (2017). Learning from label proportions in brain-computer interfaces: online unsupervised learning with guarantees. PloS one, 12(4), e0175856.
Please cite the above article when using the data.
The larger data set with N=13 is different to ordinary ERP datasets in the sense that the train of stimuli to spell one character (68) is divided into repetitions of two interleaved sequences with length 8 and 18, respectively. We added '#' symbols to the spelling matrix which should never be attended by the subject and hence, are non-targets by definition. The first, shorter sequence, now highlights only ordinary characters, while the second sequence also highlights '#' -- visual blank symbols. By construction, sequence 1 has a higher target ratio than sequence 2. These known, but different target and non-target proportions are then used to reconstruct the target and non-target class means. This approach which does not need explicit class labels is termed Learning from Label Proportions (LLP). It can be used to decode brain signals without prior calibration session. More details can be found in the article.
In another study, the above data set was used to simulate a new unsupervised mixture approach which combines the mean estimation of the unsupervised expectation-maximization algorithm by Kindermans et al. (2012, PLoS One) with the means obtained with the LLP approach. This leads to an unsupervised solution for which the performance is as good as in the supervised scenario. Please find more details in the following article:
