Overview
Abstract
The electroencephalogram (EEG) is an important neuroimaging modality to measure neuronal activity of the human brain. It has its undisputed value in clinical diagnosis, particularly in the identification of epilepsy and sleep disorders and in the evaluation of dysfunctions in sensory transmission pathways. EEG Source Imaging refers to the process of reconstructing the brain source signal based on the scalp EEG data. I will present a new insight to solve brain imaging problems based on the story of graph structure of the data, for the data, and from the data. I will first discuss how to solve the EEG Source Imaging (ESI) problem using a hierarchical graphical model with a spanning tree structure constraint connected from latent landmarks source activation patterns. Next, I will talk about how to use Laplacian graph regularization to solve the supervised ESI problem. Then, I will talk about how to find common connectivity pattern and discriminative connectivity patterns from the estimated brain networks during the sleep onset period (SOP) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, using a multi-tasking sparse learning framework.
