Quantifying causal (effective) interactions between different brain regions are very important in neuroscience research. Many conventional methods estimate effective connectivity based on linear models. However, using linear connectivity models may o...
Emotion recognition based on multi-channel electroencephalograph (EEG) signals is becoming increasingly attractive. However, the conventional methods ignore the spatial characteristics of EEG signals, which also contain salient information related to...

Motor imagery electroencephalography (EEG) decoding is an essential part of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) which help motor-disabled patients to communicate with the outside world by external devices. Recently, deep learning algorithms using decomp...
Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a common base signal used to monitor brain activities and diagnose sleep disorders. Manual sleep stage scoring is a time-consuming task for sleep experts and is limited by inter-rater reliability. In this paper, we propo...
The interpretation of various cardiovascular blood flow abnormalities can be identified using Electrocardiogram (ECG). The predominant anomaly due to the blood flow dynamics leads to the occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias in the cardiac system. In thi...
We introduce two Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) classifiers optimized for inferring brain states from magnetoencephalographic (MEG) measurements. Network design follows a generative model of the electromagnetic (EEG and MEG) brain signals allowin...
