Impulsivity Classification Using EEG Power and Explainable Machine Learning

Abstract

Impulsivity is a multidimensional construct often associated with unfavorable outcomes. Previous studies have implicated several electroencephalography (EEG) indices to impulsiveness, but results are heterogeneous and inconsistent. Using a data-driven approach, we identified EEG power features for the prediction of self-reported impulsiveness. To this end, EEG signals of 56 individuals (18 low impulsive, 20 intermediate impulsive, 18 high impulsive) were recorded during a risk-taking task. Extracted EEG power features from 62 electrodes were fed into various machine learning classifiers to identify the most relevant band. Robustness of the classifier was varied by stratified [Formula: see text]-fold cross validation. Alpha and beta band power showed best performance in the classification of impulsiveness (accuracy = 95.18% and 95.11%, respectively) using a random forest classifier. Subsequently, a sequential bidirectional feature selection algorithm was used to estimate the most relevant electrode sites. Results show that as little as 10 electrodes are sufficient to reliably classify impulsiveness using alpha band power ([Formula: see text]-measure = 94.50%). Finally, the Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis approach was employed to reveal the individual EEG features that contributed most to the model’s output. Results indicate that frontal as well as posterior midline alpha power seems to be of most importance for the classification of impulsiveness.

Mental Pressure Recognition Method Based on CNN Model and EEG Signal under Cross Session

“…Support vector machine (SVM) regression and recursive elimination have been conducted to discover stable EEG frequency characteristics in different n-back task settings [14]. A least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) has been applied to the case where the dimension of the neurophysiological features was superior when compared with the number of training data points [15]. Research shows that when the training set and test set of a machine learning model are collected from the same subject and the same task, the classification accuracy of MP may be higher than 90%.…”

Vehicle side-slip angle estimation under snowy conditions using machine learning

“…We present a model for estimating VSA on snowy roads -a challenging scenario for ESC systems [5]. Building on the premise that exteroceptive sensor data, strictly speaking visual characteristics, can enhance prediction accuracy [15,16], we introduce an approach that integrates image features extracted by a convolutional neural network (CNN) [17] into a hybrid artificial neural network [8]. This method leverages the rich visual cues from CNN-processed camera feeds, thereby uncovering previously unexplored VSA-related informa-tion and improving prediction accuracy over existing techniques.…”
