In motor imagery (MI)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are widely employed to decode electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. However, due to their fixed kernel sizes and uniform attention to features, CNNs struggle to fully capture the time-frequency features of EEG signals. To address this limitation, this paper proposes the Multi-Domain Dynamic Weighted Network (MD-DWNet), which integrates multimodal complementary feature information across time, frequency, and spatial domains through a branch structure to enhance decoding performance. Specifically, MD-DWNet combines multi-band filtering, spatial convolution, and temporal variance calculation to extract spatial-spectral features, while a dual-scale CNN captures local spatiotemporal features at different time scales. A dynamic global filter is designed to optimize fused features, improving the adaptive modeling capability for dynamic changes in frequency band energy. A lightweight mixed attention mechanism selectively enhances salient channel and spatial features. The dual-branch joint loss function adaptively balances contributions through a task uncertainty mechanism, thereby enhancing optimization efficiency and generalization capability. Experimental results on the BCI Competition IV 2a, IV 2b, OpenBMI, and a self-collected laboratory dataset demonstrate that MD-DWNet achieves classification accuracies of 83.86%, 88.67%, 75.25% and 84.85%, respectively, outperforming several advanced methods and validating its superior performance in MI signal decoding.

Steady state visual evoked potential (SSVEP)-based brain-computer interfaces have been widely studied for their fast response speeds and high information transfer rates. However, how to fully utilize the potential information of existing subjects to realize the mining of common information among different subjects and then realize the information migration in a small amount of data scenarios is a difficult problem faced by current research. In order to solve the above problems, this study proposes a deep neural network based on the pyramid squeeze attention (PSA-DNN) mechanism to enhance the performance of SSVEP-BCI through common information migration. Specifically, the band-pass filtered EEG signals were first Fourier transformed to obtain the frequency domain information; subsequently, the frequency domain information is input into a deep neural network, followed by a spatial convolution step to extract spatial domain information. In order to further enhance the quality of information extraction, a pyramid attention module is introduced into the network to realize the enhancement of frequency domain and spatial domain information. Time domain information from the EEG signals is then mined using temporal convolution. Finally, the full connectivity layer is used to output the recognition results. The model is trained in a three-stage stepped approach for SSVEP target recognition. The first stage uses data from all participants in the training set for common information learning and transfers the model parameters trained in the first stage to the network model in the second stage. In the second stage, some of the information from participants in the test set is used for fine-tuning and to mine personalized information from these new participants. The third stage uses the remaining data from participants in the test set to produce classification results. The proposed method is systematically evaluated using the Benchmark and BETA datasets, where it demonstrates favorable performance compared to established baselines. These findings contribute theoretical insights and methodological References for the application of SSVEP-based brain-computer interfaces in real-world scenarios.

Central neuropathic pain (CNP) after spinal cord injury (SCI) is related to the plasticity of cerebral cortex. The plasticity of cortex recorded by electroencephalogram (EEG) signal can be used as a biomarker of CNP. To analyze changes in the brain network mechanism under the combined effect of injury and pain or under the effect of pain, this paper mainly studies the changes of brain network functional connectivity in patients with neuropathic pain and without neuropathic pain after SCI. This paper has recorded the EEG with the CNP group after SCI, without the CNP group after SCI, and a healthy control group. Phase-locking value has been used to construct brain network topological connectivity maps. By comparing the brain networks of the two groups of SCI with the healthy group, it has been found that in the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] frequency bands, the injury increases the functional connectivity between the frontal lobe and occipital lobes, temporal, and parietal of the patients. Furthermore, the comparison of brain networks between the group with CNP and the group without CNP after SCI has found that pain has a greater effect on the increased connectivity within the patients' frontal lobes. Motor imagery (MI) data of CNP patients have been used to extract one-dimensional local binary pattern (1D-LBP) and common spatial pattern (CSP) features, the left and right hand movements of the patients' MI have been classified. The proposed LBP-CSP feature method has achieved the highest accuracy of 98.6% and the average accuracy of 91.5%. The results of this study have great clinical significance for the neural rehabilitation and brain-computer interface of CNP patients.
