Abstract
This study investigates the feasibility of Bens Spike Algorithm (BSA) to encode continuous EEG spatio-temporal data into input spike streams for a classification in a spiking neural network classifier. A novel evolving probabilistic spiking neural network reservoir (epSNNr) architecture is used for the purpose of learning and classifying the EEG signals after the BSA transformation. Experiments are conducted with EEG data measuring a cognitive state of a single individual under 4 different stimuli. A comparison is drawn between using traditional machine learning algorithms and using BSA plus epSNNr, when different probabilistic models of neurons are utilised. The comparison demonstrates that: (1) The BSA is a suitable transformation for EEG data into spike trains; (2) The performance of the epSNNr improves when a probabilistic model of a neuron is used, compared to the use of a deterministic LIF model of a neuron; (3) The classification accuracy of the EEG data in an epSNNr depends on the type of the probabilistic neuronal model used. The results suggest that an epSNNr can be optimised in terms of neuronal models used and parameters that would better match the noise and the dynamics of EEG data. Potential applications of the proposed method for BCI and medical studies are briefly discussed.
