“…Such a view could be regarded as a development of Logie's (1995) concept of an Inner Scribe (see also Logie et al, 2001). It would provide a locus for the enacted recall benefit observed in this and previous studies, for the benefits of self-enactment and demonstration during encoding (e.g., Allen et al, 2020;Allen & Waterman, 2015;Coats et al, 2021;Waterman et al, 2017;Yang et al, 2015Yang et al, , 2017 and the recent observation of children's enhanced recall following the explicit instruction to imagine performing each action during encoding (Yang et al, 2021).…”

“…In line with earlier findings in young adults (Koriat et al, 1990), children's performance was enhanced when they were required to carry out the target activities as compared with simply recalling them verbally. This enactment advantage is a robust effect and has since been widely replicated (e.g., Allen & Waterman, 2015;Jaroslawska et al, 2016Jaroslawska et al, , 2021Lui et al, 2018;Makri & Jarrold, 2021;Waterman et al, 2017;Yang et al, 2019Yang et al, , 2021 see Allen et al, 2022, for a review). Conditions in these experiments are typically blocked and it seems that the anticipation of subsequent enaction generates motor representations during encoding and these provide extra support for the performance (Koriat et al, 1990).…”

Research from a working memory perspective on the encoding and temporary maintenance of sequential instructions has established a consistent advantage for enacted over verbal recall. This is thought to reflect action planning for anticipated movements at the response phase. We describe five experiments investigating this, comparing verbal and enacted recall of a series of action-object pairings under different potentially disruptive concurrent task conditions, all requiring repetitive movements. A general advantage for enacted recall was observed across experiments, together with a tendency for concurrent action to impair sequence memory performance. The enacted recall advantage was reduced by concurrent action for both fine and gross concurrent movement with degree of disruption influenced by both the complexity and the familiarity of the movement. The results are discussed in terms of an output buffer store of limited capacity capable of holding motoric plans for anticipated action.

“…Motor imagery tasks inhibit contralateral sensorimotor areas of the brain. MI-based systems have shown great potential in helping patients with stroke ( Mane et al, 2020 ; Yang et al, 2021 ), spinal cord injuries ( Olsson, 2012 ; Athanasiou et al, 2018 ; Pulferer et al, 2022 ), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ( Stanton et al, 2007 ; Kasahara et al, 2012 ).…”

BackgroundAs a typical self-paced brain–computer interface (BCI) system, the motor imagery (MI) BCI has been widely applied in fields such as robot control, stroke rehabilitation, and assistance for patients with stroke or spinal cord injury. Many studies have focused on the traditional spatial filters obtained through the common spatial pattern (CSP) method. However, the CSP method can only obtain fixed spatial filters for specific input signals. In addition, the CSP method only focuses on the variance difference of two types of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, so the decoding ability of EEG signals is limited.MethodsTo make up for these deficiencies, this study introduces a novel spatial filter-solving paradigm named adaptive spatial pattern (ASP), which aims to minimize the energy intra-class matrix and maximize the inter-class matrix of MI-EEG after spatial filtering. The filter bank adaptive and common spatial pattern (FBACSP), our proposed method for MI-EEG decoding, amalgamates ASP spatial filters with CSP features across multiple frequency bands. Through a dual-stage feature selection strategy, it employs the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm for spatial filter optimization, surpassing traditional CSP approaches in MI classification. To streamline feature sets and enhance recognition efficiency, it first prunes CSP features in each frequency band using mutual information, followed by merging these with ASP features.ResultsComparative experiments are conducted on two public datasets (2a and 2b) from BCI competition IV, which show the outstanding average recognition accuracy of FBACSP. The classification accuracy of the proposed method has reached 74.61 and 81.19% on datasets 2a and 2b, respectively. Compared with the baseline algorithm, filter bank common spatial pattern (FBCSP), the proposed algorithm improves by 11.44 and 7.11% on two datasets, respectively (p < 0.05).ConclusionIt is demonstrated that FBACSP has a strong ability to decode MI-EEG. In addition, the analysis based on mutual information, t-SNE, and Shapley values further proves that ASP features have excellent decoding ability for MI-EEG signals and explains the improvement of classification performance by the introduction of ASP features. These findings may provide useful information to optimize EEG-based BCI systems and further improve the performance of non-invasive BCI.
