AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing non-invasive EEG visual decoding methods struggle to effectively extract high-order specific semantic features related to visual content from strong noise and common evoked potential interference, resulting in a large cross-modal semantic gap and poor zero-sample generalization ability.

Method used

Spatial covariance noise and common evoked components of EEG signals are eliminated through multivariate noise normalization whitening and fixed-wavelength removal. Features are extracted by combining spatiotemporally coupled block attention networks, and cross-modal alignment is performed using a pre-trained visual-language large model. A contrastive loss based on InfoNCE is constructed for training.

Benefits of technology

It significantly improves the accuracy and robustness of zero-shot visual decoding and image retrieval, achieving high-precision open-world image retrieval capabilities and bridging the modal gap between EEG signals and visual images.

Abstract

本发明公开了一种基于非侵入式脑电信号的零样本视觉解码及图像检索方法,属于脑机接口与脑神经信号处理技术领域。该方法包括:首先通过多变量噪声归一化白化处理和定波去除处理,消除空间协方差噪声和公共视觉诱发电位干扰;然后利用时空耦合分块注意力网络对脑电信号进行特征提取,在空间与时间双维度进行滑动分块及Transformer全局编码,输出高维脑电嵌入向量;最后引入预训练的视觉‑语言大模型,通过不对称权重分配系数的对比损失将脑电特征与图像、文本特征对齐至共享语义空间,完成零样本图像检索与解码。本发明有效剥离背景噪声并突显高级视觉语义信息,实现了开放集条件下的零样本图像检索,显著提升了脑机接口解码的准确率。
