Abstract

Nowadays, it is popular to decode physiological, psychological and pathological states from brain signals (such as EEG and MRI) for applications such as diagnosis of neurological disorders and regulation of mental disorders. However, brain signals present huge individual differences, which cause many problems in neural decoding and neural regulation. In order to overcome the adverse influence of individual differences, we have developed a series of individualized neural decoding and neural regulation methods based on advanced data analysis and machine learning techniques. Individualized neural decoding can decode an individual’s unique dynamic brain states, while individualized neural regulation can apply individual-specific experimental parameters based on each individual’s ongoing brain states to achieve optimal regulation outcomes. This seminar will also introduce some typical clinical applications of individualized neural decoding and neuromodulation, such as screening of affective disorder and closed-loop neurofeedback.
