To preprocess or not to preprocess your #EEG (when building #ML models) 🔮? 💫We are thrilled to share our latest #preprint, studying the challenge of learning brain-specific biomarkers from EEG 🧠📶 using #ML ⚙️🖥️: https://t.co/1mAgqSzg0o
We compile arguments and evidence from benchmarking age- & sex-prediction on > 2600 EEGs from two large public datasets.
We found that basic artifact rejection consistently led to better model performance, whereas removal of ocular and muscle artifacts hampered performance. As it turns out that those peripheral signals are predictive themselves!
Our results therefore argue in favor of the need to diligently process EEG data, if the goal is to have brain-specific biomarkers (and if prediction is not the only objective).
Our efforts to build more interpretable #ML models for EEG led us to extending the established Morlet wavelet methodology for spectral analysis of EEG to accommodate state-of-the-art ML models based on covariance matrices. This allowed us to perform head-to-head comparisons between classical EEG features and frequency-specific model predictions for, both, brain and artifact signals.
Compared to classical band-pass filtering, wavelets even led to improvements in prediction performance.
Joint work with Philipp Bomatter, @JP4illard, Pilar Garces & Jörg F Hipp.

This is a landmark achievement. 25 yrs ago, I watched Superman in a wheelchair after falling from a horse tell me that one day neuroscientists would fix spinal cord damage. Today, a digital bridge over the broken spinal cord enabled this guy to walk again https://t.co/50E8uA3e6v
All NeuroImage and NeuroImage:Reports editors have resigned over the high publication fee, and are starting a new non-profit journal

This comes with great regret, and a huge amount of thought and discussion- please read announcement to get more details.
Tomorrow I will be presenting the comparison of alpha power obtained with our new and open-source online artifact correction vs offline correction for real-time #EEGfMRI NF/BCI. If you are interested and attending #rtfin2022, come to see my poster (#TH39) ! @rtFIN2022 @laseeb_isr
