- 融合非线性网络与线性状态空间,实现灵活推断。
- 在高伽马频段预测性能超越线性模型三倍以上。
- 适合无线脑机接口等需处理缺失数据的场景。
多部位人类颅内神经记录的动力学建模对脑机接口(BCI)等神经技术至关重要。尽管线性状态空间模型(LSSM)因可解释性和实时推理能力被广泛使用,但其难以捕捉神经活动的非线性特征。虽然循环神经网络能建模非线性,却无法直接处理缺失观测。为此,我们扩展了DFINE框架,用于建模多部位人脑颅内脑电图(iEEG)信号。结果表明,DFINE在预测未来神经活动方面显著优于LSSM。其性能与门控循环单元(GRU)相当甚至更优,说明在线性动力学主干上联合训练非线性网络,可有效描述iEEG动态并保持灵活推断。此外,DFINE对缺失数据更具鲁棒性,尤其在高伽马频段优势明显。这些结果证明,DFINE是建模人类iEEG动态的强大且灵活框架,适用于下一代脑机接口。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Dynamical modeling of multisite human intracranial neural recordings is essential for developing neurotechnologies such as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). Linear dynamical models are widely used for this purpose due to their interpretability and their suitability for BCIs. In particular, these models enable flexible real-time inference, even in the presence of missing neural samples, which often occur in wireless BCIs. However, neural activity can exhibit nonlinear structure that is not captured by linear models. Furthermore, while recurrent neural network models can capture nonlinearity, their inference does not directly address handling missing observations. To address this gap, recent work introduced DFINE, a deep learning framework that integrates neural networks with linear state-space models to capture nonlinearities while enabling flexible inference. However, DFINE was developed for intracortical recordings that measure localized neuronal populations. Here we extend DFINE to modeling of multisite human intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) recordings. We find that DFINE significantly outperforms linear state-space models (LSSMs) in forecasting future neural activity. Furthermore, DFINE matches or exceeds the accuracy of a gated recurrent unit (GRU) model in neural forecasting, indicating that a linear dynamical backbone, when paired and jointly trained with nonlinear neural networks, can effectively describe the dynamics of iEEG signals while also enabling flexible inference. Additionally, DFINE handles missing observations more robustly than the baselines, demonstrating its flexible inference and utility for BCIs. Finally, DFINE's advantage over LSSM is more pronounced in high gamma spectral bands. Taken together, these findings highlight DFINE as a strong and flexible framework for modeling human iEEG dynamics, with potential applications in next-generation BCIs.
