Application of DTW Barycenter Averaging to Finding EEG Consensus Sequences
نویسندگان
چکیده
DTW Barycenter Averaging (DBA) has proven to be a useful tool for calculating consensus sequences, but it has not yet been applied to real electroencephalography (EEG) data. This study tests DBA on real EEG sequences using the modification proposed by Kotas et al. (2015), and proposes several further modifications to the initial sequence selection process to improve the method’s efficacy for EEG analysis. Errors in peak latency and peak amplitude measures for a single EEG component, namely N250, were measured to test each method. Three of the proposed DBA variations produced consensus sequences that were significantly more accurate for replicating features of single-trial N250 components than the widely-used Event-Related Potential (ERP) technique. Potential implications include the uncovering of previously obscured effects in EEG data and providing more accurate descriptions of the prototypical electrophysiological responses to external events.

Nonsmooth analysis and subgradient methods for averaging in dynamic time warping spaces
Time series averaging in dynamic time warping (DTW) spaces has been successfully applied to improve pattern recognition systems. This article proposes and analyzes subgradient methods for the problem of finding a sample mean in DTW spaces. The class of subgradient methods generalizes existing sample mean algorithms such as DTW Barycenter Averaging (DBA). We show that DBA is a majorize-minimize ...
متن کاملTime-series averaging using constrained dynamic time warping with tolerance
In this paper, we propose an innovative averaging of a set of time-series based on the Dynamic Time Warping (DTW). The DTW is widely used in data mining since it provides not only a similarity measure, but also a temporal alignment of time-series. However, its use is often restricted to the case of a pair of signals. In this paper, we propose to extend its application to a set of signals by pro...

متن کاملA global averaging method for dynamic time warping, with applications to clustering
Mining sequential data is an old topic that has been revived in the last decade, due to the increasing availability of sequential datasets. Most works in this field are centred on the definition and use of a distance (or, at least, a similarity measure) between sequences of elements. A measure called Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) seems to be currently the most relevant for a large panel of applica...
متن کاملWasserstein Barycenter and Its Application to Texture Mixing
This paper proposes a new definition of the averaging of discrete probability distributions as a barycenter over theWasserstein space. Replacing the Wasserstein original metric by a sliced approximation over 1D distributions allows us to use a fast stochastic gradient descent algorithm. This new notion of barycenter of probabilities is likely to find applications in computer vision where one wa...
