Artificial intelligence has made significant advances in recent years and this has had an impact on the field of neuroscience. As a result, different architectures have been implemented to extract features from EEG signals in real time. However, the use of such architectures requires a lot of computing power. As a result, EEG devices typically act only as transmitters of EEG data, with the actual data processing taking place in a third-party device. That's expensive and not compact. In this paper, we present a shield that allows a single-board computer, the Jetson Nano from Nvidia, to be converted into a brain-computer interface and, most importantly, the Jetson Nano's capabilities allow machine learning tools to be used directly on the data collection device. Here we present the test results of the developed device. https://github.com/HackerBCI/EEG-with-JetsonNano

The alignment of optical systems is a critical step in their manufacture. Alignment normally requires considerable knowledge and expertise of skilled operators. The automation of such processes has several potential advantages, but requires additional resource and upfront costs. Through a case study of a simple two mirror system we identify and examine three different automation approaches. They are: artificial neural networks; practice-led, which mimics manual alignment practices; and design-led, modelling from first principles. We find that these approaches make use of three different types of knowledge 1) basic system knowledge (of controls, measurements and goals); 2) behavioural skills and expertise, and 3) fundamental system design knowledge. We demonstrate that the different automation approaches vary significantly in human resources, and measurement sampling budgets. This will have implications for practitioners and management considering the automation of such tasks.

This paper presents Open-source software and a developed shield board for the Raspberry Pi family of single-board computers that can be used to read EEG signals. We have described the mechanism for reading EEG signals and decomposing them into a Fourier series and provided examples of controlling LEDs and a toy robot by blinking. Finally, we discussed the prospects of the brain-computer interface for the near future and considered various methods for controlling external mechanical objects using real-time EEG signals.

This paper presents an inexpensive, high-precision, but at the same time, easy-to-maintain PIEEG board to convert a RaspberryPI to a Brain-computer interface. This shield allows measuring and processing eight real-time EEG (Electroencephalography) signals. We used the most popular programming languages - C, C++ and Python to read the signals, recorded by the device . The process of reading EEG signals was demonstrated as completely and clearly as possible. This device can be easily used for machine learning enthusiasts to create projects for controlling robots and mechanical limbs using the power of thought. We will post use cases on GitHub (https://github.com/Ildaron/EEGwithRaspberryPI) for controlling a robotic machine, unmanned aerial vehicle, and more just using the power of thought.

This manuscript presented brain-computer interface (STM32 and ADS1299) with the embedded board with sensors to monitor the subject's state and environment. To reduce power consumption and device size, we used sensors made in Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems technology (MEMS) - a gyroscope, accelerometer, and environmental monitoring sensors: CO2, temperature, humidity, ambient sound, and pulse and blood oxygen saturation. Data from the device is transmitted using TCP-PI (UART by Bluetooth) protocol to a computer or mobile device. Open-source https://github.com/Ildaron/ironbci

This paper introduces a novel method for effectively removing artifacts from EEG signals by combining the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) method with a machine learning architecture. The proposed method addresses the limitations of existing artifact removal techniques by enhancing the EMD method through interpolation of the upper and lower. For conventional artifact removal methods, the EMD technique is commonly employed. However, the challenge lies in accurately interpolating the missing components of the signal while preserving its inherent frequency components. To overcome this limitation, we incorporated machine learning technique, which enables us to carefully handle the interpolation process without directly manipulating the data. The key advantage of our approach lies in the preservation of the natural characteristics of the EEG signal during artifact removal. By utilizing machine learning for interpolation, we ensure that the average component obtained through the EMD method retains the crucial frequency components of the original signal. This preservation is essential for maintaining the integrity and fidelity of the EEG data, allowing for accurate analysis and interpretation. The results obtained from our evaluation serve to validate the effectiveness of our approach and pave the way for further advancements in EEG signal processing and analysis.

Depression disorder is a serious health condition that has affected the lives of millions of people around the world. Diagnosis of depression is a challenging practice that relies heavily on subjective studies and, in most cases, suffers from late findings. Electroencephalography (EEG) biomarkers have been suggested and investigated in recent years as a potential transformative objective practice. In this article, for the first time, a detailed systematic review of EEG-based depression diagnosis approaches is conducted using advanced machine learning techniques and statistical analyses. For this, 938 potentially relevant articles (since 1985) were initially detected and filtered into 139 relevant articles based on the review scheme 'preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA).' This article compares and discusses the selected articles and categorizes them according to the type of machine learning techniques and statistical analyses. Algorithms, preprocessing techniques, extracted features, and data acquisition systems are discussed and summarized. This review paper explains the existing challenges of the current algorithms and sheds light on the future direction of the field. This systematic review outlines the issues and challenges in machine intelligence for the diagnosis of EEG depression that can be addressed in future studies and possibly in future wearable technologies.

Physiological fatigue, a state of reduced cognitive and physical performance resulting from prolonged mental or physical exertion, poses significant challenges in various domains, including healthcare, aviation, transportation, and industrial sectors. As the understanding of fatigue's impact on human performance grows, there is a growing interest in developing effective fatigue monitoring techniques. Among these techniques, electroencephalography (EEG) has emerged as a promising tool for objectively assessing physiological fatigue due to its non-invasiveness, high temporal resolution, and sensitivity to neural activity. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the current state of the use of EEG for monitoring physiological fatigue.

Over the past decade, unprecedented progress in the development of neural networks influenced dozens of different industries, including weed recognition in the agro-industrial sector. The use of neural networks in agro-industrial activity in the task of recognizing cultivated crops is a new direction. The absence of any standards significantly complicates the understanding of the real situation of the use of the neural network in the agricultural sector. The manuscript presents the complete analysis of researches over the past 10 years on the use of neural networks for the classification and tracking of weeds due to neural networks. In particular, the analysis of the results of using various neural network algorithms for the task of classification and tracking was presented. As a result, we presented the recommendation for the use of neural networks in the tasks of recognizing a cultivated object and weeds. Using this standard can significantly improve the quality of research on this topic and simplify the analysis and understanding of any paper.
