Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of brain imaging technology, and more particularly to an adaptive threshold depth unfolding brain imaging method and system. Background Technology

[0002] Brain-derived imaging (BDI) technology, which visualizes brain electrical activity, is of great significance for cognitive neuroscience research, disease diagnosis and treatment, and the development of brain-computer interface systems. It includes invasive and non-invasive methods. Invasive BDI involves recording brain electrical activity by implanting electrodes or optical fibers. Because this requires implanting electrodes or fibers in the skull or under the skin, this invasive procedure can cause adverse reactions such as infection and bleeding. Furthermore, implants typically only detect the activity of neurons relatively close to them, failing to provide a comprehensive understanding of the activity in the entire brain region. The measurement results are also easily affected by the location and number of implants. Therefore, non-invasive BDI based on electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) to detect human brain function at millisecond temporal resolution is widely used.

[0003] SIFNet, a deep learning neural network for source imaging, is a non-invasive brain source imaging technique based on EEG or MEG signals for feature extraction and source reconstruction. Figure 1 As shown, the SIFNet network primarily uses a residual structure, cascading five residual blocks after a convolutional block, followed by a pooling layer and a fully connected layer. Its output size is the same as the number of source regions. Each residual block contains two Conv layers and undergoes batch normalization to eliminate covariance bias during training. The original input of each residual block is added back to the output and fed to the next module through a rectified linear unit (ReLU) activation function, transforming the brain source imaging problem into a classification problem. While the SIFNet network improves the accuracy of source reconstruction to some extent through deep learning, its reliance on convolutional operations can easily lead to the loss of signal details in certain situations. Its dependence on simulation data and a large amount of labeled data, coupled with its typically fixed regularization parameters, may limit the network's generalization ability. The network's training and feature learning processes are often black-box operations, leading to low confidence in the source reconstruction results. Furthermore, its high computational complexity reduces the overall reliability of brain source imaging. Summary of the Invention

[0063] This invention provides an adaptive threshold depth unfolding brain source imaging method and system to improve the technical problem of low reliability in existing deep learning neural network source imaging methods for brain source imaging.

[0064] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0065] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating the steps of an adaptive threshold depth unfolding brain-source imaging method provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0066] This invention provides an adaptive threshold depth unfolding brain-source imaging method, comprising:

[0067] Step 101: Obtain the training EEG signal observation matrix and the real source signal matrix.

[0068] Step 101 includes the following sub-steps:

[0069] Acquire signals from multiple real sources;

[0070] Simulations were performed using the Brainstorm toolbox based on various real source signals, and the real source signal matrix and training lead field matrix were output.

[0071] A training EEG signal observation matrix is ​​generated by linearly transforming the real source signal matrix based on the training lead field matrix and adding noise.

[0072] It should be noted that a training set is constructed using a training EEG signal observation matrix and a real source signal matrix to facilitate subsequent network training. In one implementation, this can be directly obtained from known data. In another implementation, multiple real source signals can be identified first, and the real source signal matrix and training lead field matrix can be determined based on each real source signal using the Brainstorm toolbox. The brain model is loaded using the Brainstorm toolbox, such as using the ICBM 152 default MRI template. After downsampling the ICBM 152 default MRI template to 6004 voxels, modeling is performed to determine the brain model. The brain model has multiple potential dipoles. One or more dipoles are randomly selected as seed dipoles in the cortical grid of the brain model, and adjacent units are iteratively absorbed into the patch based on various seed dipoles to expand until the required activation area is met, thus obtaining the source space. The direction of the neural current of each dipole in the source space is set to be perpendicular to the cortical surface, and real source signals are assigned to each dipole. The real source signal matrix is ​​then formed based on these real source signals. This is based on a 64-channel Neuroscan. The sensor configuration in the Quik-cap system uses the OpenMEEG software package embedded in Brainstorm to calculate and determine the lead field matrix as the training lead field matrix. Two reference electrodes are removed, and a three-layer head surface is obtained using the boundary element method (BEM). The specific process can be found in existing techniques. Based on the obtained training lead field matrix, the observation model is then used... A linear transformation is performed on the real source signal matrix and noise is added, where, This is the EEG signal observation matrix. For the lead field matrix, The source signal matrix, Noise is used to generate a training EEG signal observation matrix.

[0073] Step 102: Input the training EEG signal observation matrix into the initial iterative shrinking threshold depth expansion network and output the training reconstructed source signal matrix.

[0074] Step 102 includes the following sub-steps:

[0075] Construct a signal loss function for the EEG signal observation matrix;

[0076] Based on the training EEG signal observation matrix, gradient descent and soft thresholding operations are performed iteratively on the signal loss function to output the training reconstructed source signal matrix.

[0077] It should be noted that deep unfolded networks are a method that combines traditional optimization algorithms with deep learning. A simplified diagram is shown below. Figure 3As shown, it expands each step of the iterative algorithm into a layer of a deep network, forming an end-to-end trainable network structure. This method aims to inherit the interpretability of traditional optimization algorithms while leveraging the powerful modeling capabilities of deep learning. In this embodiment, the initial iterative shrinking threshold deep unfolded network is constructed by expanding the iterative process of ISTA (Iterative Shrinking Thresholding Algorithm) into a layer structure of a deep neural network.

[0078] 1) Input layer: Input EEG signal observation matrix ;

[0079] 2) Hidden Layer: To simultaneously consider data fidelity and the sparsity of the source signal, a signal loss function is defined:

[0080] ;

[0081] In the formula, Let be the signal loss function. The square of the Frobenius norm. The regularization parameter controls the degree of sparsity. For the first One source signal, The number of source signals, The first element of the source signal matrix One source signal, This represents the number of iterations.

[0082] The above optimization problem is solved by iteratively shrinking the threshold. The iterative process of ISTA is expanded into a layer structure of a deep neural network. Each layer corresponds to one iterative update. Each iterative update performs two operations: linear transformation and nonlinear transformation. Gradient descent is performed in the linear transformation, and soft thresholding is performed in the nonlinear transformation to achieve sparsity constraints.

[0083] Gradient descent operations include:

[0084] ;

[0085] In the formula, For the number of iterations, For gradient, The source signal matrix, This is the Lipschitz constant. For the lead field matrix transpose, This is the EEG signal observation matrix;

[0086] Soft thresholding includes:

[0087] ;

[0088] in, , ;

[0089] In the formula, For regularization parameters, For the variables of the soft threshold operator, For threshold parameters, For soft thresholding operators, For sign functions. The soft threshold operator is achieved by... Less than the threshold The component is set to 0, while the remaining components are reduced by amplitude. Implement sparsity constraints;

[0090] 3) Output layer: After multiple iterations and updates, if the signal iteration termination condition is met, the reconstructed source signal matrix is ​​output based on the optimal solution of the current signal loss function. .

[0091] Step 103: Determine the loss function value based on the real source signal matrix and the training reconstructed source signal matrix, and determine the target iterative shrinkage threshold depth of the network by minimizing the loss function value.

[0092] Step 103 includes the following sub-steps:

[0093] The loss function value is calculated using the real source signal matrix and the trained reconstructed source signal matrix;

[0094] When the loss function value does not meet the early stopping condition, the model parameters are updated by using the Adam optimizer with L2 regularization to minimize the loss function value, and the hyperparameters are dynamically adjusted through cross-validation to determine the intermediate iteration shrinkage threshold depth of the network.

[0095] The intermediate iterative shrinkage threshold depth unfolding network was trained using the training EEG signal observation matrix until the loss function value met the early stopping condition, thus determining the target iterative shrinkage threshold depth unfolding network.

[0096] It should be noted that the training data is used to train the network expansion model at the initial iteration shrinking threshold depth. The mean squared error loss function is used to measure the difference between the trained reconstructed source signal matrix and the true source signal matrix.

[0097] ;

[0098] In the formula, The value of the loss function. For the first training samples, The number of training samples. For the first The true source signal matrix of each training sample For the first The training reconstructed source signal matrix of each training sample;

[0099] An early stopping strategy is adopted during training. When the loss function value does not meet the early stopping condition, the Adam optimizer with adaptive matrix estimation is used to update the model parameters with the goal of minimizing the loss function value. L2 regularization is introduced during the model parameter update process to prevent overfitting. At the same time, hyperparameters such as the learning rate are dynamically adjusted through cross-validation. After obtaining the optimized intermediate iteration shrinking threshold depth unfolded network, the training data is used again for training until the loss function value meets the early stopping condition. Then, the target iteration shrinking threshold depth unfolded network is determined so that it can effectively reconstruct the source signal.

[0100] During network training, the model parameters, including weights and threshold parameters, are iteratively updated. The threshold parameters of each layer are learned and adjusted based on backpropagation of the loss function values. This allows the network to dynamically adjust the sparsity regularization parameters according to the characteristics of different data (such as noise level and signal strength). By introducing adaptive thresholding regularization, the network can better adapt to different sparsity, noise levels, and the non-uniformity of brain source signals. For strong signal components, the adaptive threshold can be lowered to reduce the suppression of the real signal. For weak signal or noise components, the adaptive threshold can be raised to better suppress noise. This makes the network more noise-adaptive and data-robust, and can provide higher source reconstruction accuracy under different data quality and noise environments. It is particularly suitable for EEG / MEG data with high noise in clinical settings.

[0101] Step 104: Collect the measured EEG signal observation matrix, solve the measured EEG signal observation matrix through the target iterative shrinking threshold depth expansion network, and output the target reconstructed source signal matrix.

[0102] It should be noted that the collected measured EEG signal observation matrix is ​​input into the trained target iterative shrinking threshold depth unfolding network. After forward propagation, the target reconstruction source signal matrix is ​​output. Through the nonlinear transformation of the deep network, the step effect in traditional methods is reduced, and more important detailed information is preserved.

[0103] In this embodiment of the invention, the traditional ISTA algorithm is unfolded into a trainable deep neural network, which shows great promise for improving the reliability of brain source imaging, and is particularly suitable for brain source imaging tasks that require high precision and real-time processing: 1. It can explicitly show the optimization process of each iteration, improving the transparency of the source signal reconstruction process, allowing users to understand how each layer adjusts the signal and why the network makes specific decisions; 2. It can efficiently process multiple iterations in parallel during each optimization update, avoiding the computational bottleneck of step-by-step iteration in traditional ISTA, significantly improving computational efficiency, especially when processing large-scale data; 3. This method combines the advantages of model-based and data-driven methods, and can optimize the reconstruction process by adaptively adjusting the regularization parameters of signal reconstruction through network iterative training while maintaining physical model constraints, thereby significantly improving the accuracy of brain source imaging while avoiding the invasive operational risks of invasive brain source imaging.
