自主注意力转移在自愿行为中至关重要,但因缺乏明确时间标记而难以研究。本文基于先前实验范式,控制内外部注意力条件,在相同视觉刺激下对比自主启动与外部指令的注意力转移。采用机器学习方法进行两项互补分析:(1) 频率特异性拓扑模式的性能评估,(2) 基于SHAP的模型特征归因分析。结果表明,准备期脑电信号包含可区分两类注意力转移的个体特异性信息。高频波段和额叶区域对模型决策贡献较大,但需谨慎对待高频信号可能存在的非神经伪影影响。本研究展示了可解释机器学习在受控实验中分析个体脑电模式的价值,为个性化、异步脑机接口系统提供潜在应用基础。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Self-initiated attention shifts play a critical role in voluntary behavior but are difficult to study due to the absence of explicit temporal markers. While previous studies have examined their neural correlates, it remains unclear how multi-dimensional electroencephalography (EEG) features contribute to their characterization within an interpretable computational framework. In this study, we build on an experimental paradigm developed in our previous work, which enables controlled comparison between task-constrained self-initiated shifts and externally instructed shifts under identical visual stimulation. Within this setting, we investigate whether preparatory EEG activity can distinguish these two types of attention shifts. We adopt a machine learning-based approach and conduct two complementary analyses: (1) a performance-oriented assessment of frequency-specific topographic patterns, and (2) a model-based feature attribution analysis using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP). These analyses provide a structured view of how spectral features across regions of interest contribute to model behavior. Our results demonstrate reliable within-subject classification performance, indicating that preparatory EEG activity contains subject-specific discriminative information within this paradigm. The analysis shows that higher-frequency bands and frontal regions contribute strongly to model decisions, although such contributions should be interpreted cautiously due to the potential influence of non-neural artifacts in high-frequency EEG signals. Overall, this work highlights the value of interpretable machine learning for analyzing subject-specific EEG signal patterns in a controlled experimental setting, with potential applications in personalized and asynchronous brain-machine interface systems.
