RISE-iEEG: Robust to Inter-Subject Electrodes Implantation Variability iEEG Classifier

Utilization of intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) is rapidly increasing for clinical and brain-computer interface applications. iEEG facilitates the recording of neural activity with high spatial and temporal resolution, making it a desirable neuroimaging modality for studying neural dynamics. Despite its benefits, iEEG faces challenges such as inter-subject variability in electrode implantation, which makes the development of unified neural decoder models across different patients difficult. In this research, we introduce a novel decoder model that is robust to inter-subject electrode implantation variability. We call this model RISE-iEEG, which stands for Robust Inter-Subject Electrode Implantation Variability iEEG Classifier. RISE-iEEG employs a deep neural network structure preceded by a patient-specific projection network. The projection network maps the neural data of individual patients onto a common low-dimensional space, compensating for the implantation variability. In other words, we developed an iEEG decoder model that can be applied across multiple patients' data without requiring the coordinates of electrode for each patient. The performance of RISE-iEEG across multiple datasets, including the Audio-Visual dataset, Music Reconstruction dataset, and Upper-Limb Movement dataset, surpasses that of state-of-the-art iEEG decoder models such as HTNet and EEGNet. Our analysis shows that the performance of RISE-iEEG is 10\% higher than that of HTNet and EEGNet in terms of F1 score, with an average F1 score of 83\%, which is the highest result among the evaluation methods defined. Furthermore, the analysis of projection network weights in the Music Reconstruction dataset across patients suggests that the Superior Temporal lobe serves as the primary encoding neural node. This finding aligns with the auditory processing physiology.
