This work aims at identifying characteristic features of EEG to demarcate a microsleep from preceding responsive states. The EEG signals, after reference electrode standardization technique (REST) re-referencing, were processed through a time-varying general linear Kalman filter (TVGLKF) to derive time-varying auto-regressive (TVAR) parameters. The time-varying effective connectivity measure of orthogonal partial directed coherence (OPDC) was obtained for every instant at 256 Hz. Effective connectivity matrices formed using these OPDC measures, with the scalp electrodes as nodes were processed further using graph theory. Community-based measures were investigated and statistical significances compared. Non-parametric Wilcoxon signed rank test was used for significance analysis, with Cohen-type and Common Language effect size (CLES) as measures of effect sizes. The results showed a decrease in directional modularity from anterior to posterior, in theta, alpha, and beta bands in microsleeps. The alpha band showed the highest significance with a Cohen-type effect size of 1.25 and a median percentage difference of 23% across subjects, with a range of 13-28%. Flexibility and integration also decreased with average percentage of 25% (17-35%) and 20% (16-32%), respectively, while recruitment increased on an average of 11% (3-16%), wherever significant across all bands. These community-based measures can help characterize and explain changes in brain mechanisms, and can also serve as potential biomarkers for microsleep detection.

Background: Interpretation of motor imagery (MI) in brain-computer interface (BCI) applications is largely driven by the use of electroencephalography (EEG) signals. However, precise classification in stroke patients remains challenging due to variability, non-stationarity, and abnormal EEG patterns.
New Methods: To address these challenges, an integrated architecture is proposed, combining multi-domain feature extraction with evolutionary optimization for enhanced EEG-based MI classification.

Given the significant global health burden caused by depression, numerous studies have utilized artificial intelligence techniques to objectively and automatically detect depression. However, existing research primarily focuses on improving the accuracy of depression recognition while overlooking the explainability of detection models and the evaluation of feature importance. In this paper, we propose a novel framework named Enhanced Domain Adversarial Neural Network (E-DANN) for depression detection.

Epilepsy, a highly individualized neurological disorder, affects millions globally. Electroencephalography (EEG) remains the cornerstone for seizure diagnosis, yet manual interpretation is labor-intensive and often unreliable due to the complexity of multi-channel, high-dimensional data. Traditional machine learning models often struggle with overfitting and fail in fully capturing the highdimensional, temporal dynamics of EEG signals, restricting their clinical utility.

This study explores how differences in colors presented separately to each eye (binocular color differences) can be identified through EEG signals, a method of recording electrical activity from the brain. Four distinct levels of green-red color differences, defined in the CIELAB color space with constant luminance and chroma, are investigated in this study. Analysis of Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) revealed a significant decrease in the amplitude of the P300 component as binocular color differences increased, suggesting a measurable brain response to these differences.
