Machine learning methods for the study of cybersickness: a systematic review

This systematic review offers a world-first critical analysis of machine learning methods and systems, along with future directions for the study of cybersickness induced by virtual reality (VR). VR is becoming increasingly popular and is an important part of current advances in human training, therapies, entertainment, and access to the metaverse. Usage of this technology is limited by cybersickness, a common debilitating condition experienced upon VR immersion. Cybersickness is accompanied by a mix of symptoms including nausea, dizziness, fatigue and oculomotor disturbances. Machine learning can be used to identify cybersickness and is a step towards overcoming these physiological limitations. Practical implementation of this is possible with optimised data collection from wearable devices and appropriate algorithms that incorporate advanced machine learning approaches. The present systematic review focuses on 26 selected studies. These concern machine learning of biometric and neuro-physiological signals obtained from wearable devices for the automatic identification of cybersickness. The methods, data processing and machine learning architecture, as well as suggestions for future exploration on detection and prediction of cybersickness are explored. A wide range of immersion environments, participant activity, features and machine learning architectures were identified. Although models for cybersickness detection have been developed, literature still lacks a model for the prediction of first-instance events. Future research is pointed towards goal-oriented data selection and labelling, as well as the use of brain-inspired spiking neural network models to achieve better accuracy and understanding of complex spatio-temporal brain processes related to cybersickness

Investigation of Human Emotion Pattern Based on EEG Signal Using Wavelet Families and Correlation Feature Selection

Emotions is one of the advantages given by God to human beings compared to other living creatures. Emotions have an important role in human life. Many studies have been conducted to recognize human emotions using physiological measurements, one of which is Electroencephalograph (EEG). However, the previous researches have not discussed the types of wavelet families that have the best performance and canals that are optimal in the introduction of human emotions. In this paper, the power features of several types of wavelet families, namely Daubechies, symlets, and coiflets with the Correlation Feature Selection (CFS) method to select the best features of alpha, beta, gamma and theta frequencies. According to the results, coiflet is a method of the wavelet family that has the best accuracy value in emotional recognition. The use of the CFS feature selection can improve the accuracy of the results from 81% to 93%, and the five most dominant channels in the power features of alpha and gamma band on T8, T7, C5, CP5, and TP7. Hence, it can be concluded that the temporal of the left brain is more dominant in recognition of human emotions.Emotions is one of the advantages given by God to human beings compared to other living creatures.

Feature selection model based on EEG signals for assessing the cognitive workload in drivers

In recent years, research has focused on generating mechanisms to assess the levels of subjects’ cognitive workload when performing various activities that demand high concentration levels, such as driving a vehicle. These mechanisms have implemented several tools for analyzing the cognitive workload, and electroencephalographic (EEG) signals have been most frequently used due to their high precision. However, one of the main challenges in implementing the EEG signals is finding appropriate information for identifying cognitive states. Here, we present a new feature selection model for pattern recognition using information from EEG signals based on machine learning techniques called GALoRIS. GALoRIS combines Genetic Algorithms and Logistic Regression to create a new fitness function that identifies and selects the critical EEG features that contribute to recognizing high and low cognitive workloads and structures a new dataset capable of optimizing the model’s predictive process. We found that GALoRIS identifies data related to high and low cognitive workloads of subjects while driving a vehicle using information extracted from multiple EEG signals, reducing the original dataset by more than 50% and maximizing the model’s predictive capacity, achieving a precision rate greater than 90%.This work has been funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities of Spain under grant number TRA2016-77012-RPeer ReviewedPostprint (published version
