Mental Task Recognition by EEG Signals: A Novel Approach with ROC Analysis
Electroencephalogram or electroencephalography (EEG) has been widely used in medical fields and recently in cognitive science and brain-computer interface (BCI) research. To distinguish metal tasks such as reading, calculation, motor imagery, etc., it is generally to extract features of EEG signals by dimensionality reduction methods such as principle component analysis (PCA), linear determinant analysis (LDA), common spatial pattern (CSP), and so on for classifiers, for example, k-nearest neighbor method (kNN), kernel support vector machine (SVM), and artificial neural networks (ANN). In this chapter, a novel approach of feature extraction of EEG signals with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis is introduced.

Training Deep Neural Networks with Reinforcement Learning for Time Series Forecasting
As a kind of efficient nonlinear function approximators, artificial neural networks (ANN) have been popularly applied to time series forecasting. The training method of ANN usually utilizes error back-propagation (BP) which is a supervised learning algorithm proposed by Rumelhart et al. in 1986; meanwhile, authors proposed to improve the robustness of the ANN for unknown time series prediction using a reinforcement learning algorithm named stochastic gradient ascent (SGA) originally proposed by Kimura and Kobayashi for control problems in 1998. We also successfully use a deep belief net (DBN) stacked by multiple restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs) to realized time series forecasting in 2012. In this chapter, a state-of-the-art time series forecasting system that combines RBMs and multilayer perceptron (MLP) and uses SGA training algorithm is introduced. Experiment results showed the high prediction precision of the novel system not only for benchmark data but also for real phenomenon time series data.
