0 . 【深度学习】常用网络总结

一、前言

本文档旨在归纳BCI-EEG-matlab的数据处理代码，作为EEG数据处理的总结，方便快速搭建处理框架的Baseline，实现自动化、模块插拔化、快速化。本文以任务态（锁时刺激，如快速序列视觉呈现）为例，分享脑电EEG的分析处理方法。
脑电数据分析系列。分为以下6个模块：

1. 前置准备
2. 数据预处理
3. 数据可视化
4. 特征提取（特征候选集）
5. 特征选择（量化特征择优）
6. 分类模型

本文内容：【4. 特征提取-频域篇】

提示：以下为各功能代码详细介绍，若节约阅读时间，请下滑至文末的整合代码

二、特征提取 框架介绍

特征提取作为承上启下的重要阶段，是本系列中篇幅最长的部分。承上，紧接预处理结果和可视化分析，对庞大的原始数据进行凝练，用少量维度指标表征整体数据特点；启下，这些代表性、凝练性的特征指标量化了数据性能，为后续的认知解码、状态监测、神经调控等现实需求提供参考。

特征提取的常用特征域为时域、频域、时频域、空域等。本文特征主要为手动设置的经验特征，大多源于脑科学及认知科学的机制结论，提取的特征具有可解释的解剖、认知、物理含义；也有部分是工程人员的实践发现，在模型性能提升中效果显著。

特征提取的代码框图、流程如下所示：

时域-特征提取的主要功能，分为以下2部分：

• 统计特征：过零率、标准差、能量、差分、AR等
• 熵类特征：近似熵、样本熵、李雅普诺夫指数、混合熵等

统计特征是脑电数据最初的刻画方式，前人认为脑电信号属于信号分析的一种，便引入常用的统计学指标来刻画。统计学指标大家比较熟悉，需要对一定时间窗内的数据统计分析，因此对于长时间的脑电信号更友好。统计学指标大多具有现实含义，如过零率代表信号沿零值翻转频率，标准差表示数据偏离均值程度，差分特征表示离散点间的变化速率等。
近期文献中越来越多使用高阶数特征，例如高阶中心距、高阶远点距等，文献中解释说高阶特征包含丰富脑电信息。本人也应用过高阶特征在分类任务中，确实会提升分类性能，但是存在比较严重的过拟合问题，由于高阶特征的高幂特性导致数值指数级增长 or 降低，无论是否后续归一化都会影响特征分布，建议在开集测试分类中慎用。并且其对应的认知含义还不清，仍期待更多的研究进展。

时域-统计学特征：

时域-熵类特征：
熵类特征在近期成为脑电处理的热门话题，文献中声明的熵类特征均有不错性能，例如近似熵、样本熵、李雅普诺夫指数、混合熵等，本人在研究中也发现部分熵类确实提高准确率，推荐大家尝试。
熵类特征的主要思想在于其非线性，通过e或者log计算获得非线性表现。个人根据e或者log曲线认为，熵类特征通过 拉伸 或 压缩 原特征数值，对原特征产生畸变效果，主要决定因素还是原特征的取值范围。熵类特征依靠经验较难，更推荐大家广撒网的尝试，还要注意是否特征进行归一化和标准化。熵类特征也存在短板，例如计算时间明显长于线形特征，并且熵类特征具体含义细节也需要进一步研究。

三、代码格式说明

本文非锁时任务态（下文以静息态代替）范例为：ADHD患者、正常人群在静息状态下的脑模式分类

• 代码名称：代码命名为Festure_ candidate_xxx (time / freq/ imf/ space)
• 参数设置：预处理结果\采样率\时域是否非线性熵特征（耗时）\频域均分分辨度\imf阶数\space对比通道数及频带范围。
• 输入格式：输入格式承接规范预处理最后一项输出，Proprocess_xxx(预处理最终步骤)_target/nontarget。
• 输出及保存格式：输出格式为试次数*特征个数，按照除空域特征外，按照通道的特征拼接，先为1通道内的所有特征，接着2通道的所有特征。保存文件名称为Festure_candidate_xxx(特征域名称)_target/nontarget。

3.0 参数设置

可视化内容可以选择，把希望可视化特征域写在Featute_content 中

• 一次进行10人次的批处理，subject_num = [1;10]
• 特征提取内容： Featute_content = [‘time’,‘freq’,‘time_freq’,‘space’]; 时域、频域、时频域、空域均分析
• 时域特征内容：过零率，标准差、近似熵，样本熵，AR。Featute_time_content = [‘cross_zero’,‘std’,‘apen’,‘sampentropy’,‘ar’];

%       because it took logarithm after summation of phi's.
%       In Ver 1, I restored the definition according to original paper's

%       Entropy which doesn't count self-matching case, because the count
%       can be zero and logarithm can fail.
%
%       A new parameter tau is added in the input argument list, so the users
%       can apply ApEn on downsampled data by skipping by tau.

总结

脑电在时间分辨率的优势，注定其在时域有丰富的潜在特征。
脑电时域特征也从有严谨推导的统计特征，逐步扩展至实用有效地熵类特征。

推荐大家广泛学习时序信号处理的方法，可以移植和创新大量的新算法。
脑电信号作为信号处理的一种，例如阵列信号处理的经典算法都有应用基础。

同时，对经典特征的融合、组合也是发掘更优混合特征的常用方式。
大家可以探索和发掘是用自己研究的优质特征策略。

目前多样性的特征还在不断发展、丰富，新的特征提取方法逐渐多元化。
进阶特征如脑网络、拓扑图等，基于人工智能的端到端特征提取方法，会在新的专栏中介绍。
