Tensor decomposition of EEG signals: A brief review

Abstract

Electroencephalography (EEG) is one fundamental tool for functional brain imaging. EEG signals tend to be represented by a vector or a matrix to facilitate data processing and analysis with generally understood methodologies like time-series analysis, spectral analysis and matrix decomposition. Indeed, EEG signals are often naturally born with more than two modes of time and space, and they can be denoted by a multi-way array called as tensor. This review summarizes the current progress of tensor decomposition of EEG signals with three aspects. The first is about the existing modes and tensors of EEG signals. Second, two fundamental tensor decomposition models, canonical polyadic decomposition (CPD, it is also called parallel factor analysis-PARAFAC) and Tucker decomposition, are introduced and compared. Moreover, the applications of the two models for EEG signals are addressed. Particularly, the determination of the number of components for each mode is discussed. Finally, the N-way partial least square and higher-order partial least square are described for a potential trend to process and analyze brain signals of two modalities simultaneously.

Optimizing spatial patterns with sparse filter bands for motor-imagery based brain–computer interface

“…In recent years, multiway learning algorithms have shown their promising potentials for the collaborative optimization in the spatial, temporal and spectral dimensions of brain signals [46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53]. A combination of collaborative multiway optimization and regularization for filter band selection could further benefit to improve the effectiveness of CSP for MI-based BCI.…”

Tensor Factorization for Precision Medicine in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

“…Although to our knowledge no prior research studies have applied tensor factorization to subtype HFpEF patients, a substantial body of research on applying tensor factorization to handle multiple modalities of biomedical data has emerged over the past decade. We refer the reader to general reviews 40,41 for tensor modeling application in biomedical domains. Below, we provide a more detailed discussion on the applications of tensor modeling in cardiovascular medicine.…”

A high-order representation and classification method for transcription factor binding sites recognition in Escherichia coli

“…R is a core tensor and P (n) is a factor matrix (n = 1, 2, · · · , N − 1). The Equation (6) is the Tucker model tensor decomposition [50,9]. The class membership matrix Y can be also approximated by the Equation (3), which is the same as standard PLS (Figure 2(b)).…”
