Anti-EMD (aa 100-200) polyclonal antibody

Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a domain, in which a person can send information without using any exterior nerve or muscles, just using their brain signal, called electroencephalography (EEG) signal. Multiview learning or data integration or data fusion from a different set of features is an emerging way in machine learning to improve the generalized performance by considering the knowledge with multiple views. Multiview learning has made rapid progress and development in recent years and is also facing many new challenges. This method can be used in the BCI domain, as the meaningful representa-tion of the EEG signal in plenty of ways. This study utilized the multiview ensemble learning (MEL) approach for the binary classification of five mental tasks on the six subjects individually. In this study, we used a well-known EEG database (Keirn and Aunon database). The EEG signal has been decomposed using by methods i.e wavelet transform (WT), empirical mode decomposition (EMD), empirical wavelet transform (EWT), and fuzzy C-means followed by EWT (FEWT). After that, the feature coding technique is applied using parametric feature formation from the decomposed signal. Hence, we had four views to learn four same type of independent base classifiers and predictions are made in an ensemble manner. The study is performed independently with three types of base classifiers, i.e., K-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM) with linear and non-linear kernels The performance validation of the ten combinations of mental tasks was performed by three MEL based classifiers, i.e., K-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM) with linear and non-linear kernels. For reliability of the obtained results of the classifiers, 10-fold cross-validation was used. The proposed algorithm shows a promising accuracy of 80% to 100% for binary pair-wise classification of mental tasks. (c) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

This paper considers the problem of signal decomposition and filtering by extending its scope to various signals that cannot be effectively dealt with existing methods. For the core of our methodology, we introduce a new approach, termed "ensemble patch transformation" that provides a framework for decomposition and filtering of signals; thus, as a result, it enhances identification of local characteristics embedded in a signal that is crucial for signal decomposition and designs flexible filters that allow various data analyses. In literature, there are some data-adaptive decomposition methods such as empirical mode decomposition (EMD) by Huang (Proc. R. Soc. London A 454:903-995, 1998). Along the same line of EMD, we propose a new decomposition algorithm that extracts essential components from a signal. Some theoretical properties of the proposed algorithm are investigated. To evaluate the proposed method, we analyze several synthetic examples and real signals.
