Class imbalance should not throw you off balance: Choosing the right classifiers and performance metrics for brain decoding with imbalanced data

NeuroImage, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 277, P. 120253 - 120253

Machine learning (ML) is increasingly used in cognitive, computational and clinical neuroscience. The reliable efficient application of ML requires a sound understanding its subtleties limitations. Training models on datasets with imbalanced classes particularly common problem, it can have severe consequences if not adequately addressed. With the neuroscience user mind, this paper provides didactic assessment class imbalance problem illustrates impact through systematic manipulation data ratios (i) simulated (ii) brain recorded electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Our results illustrate how widely-used Accuracy (Acc) metric, which measures overall proportion successful predictions, yields misleadingly high performances, as increases. Because Acc weights per-class correct predictions proportionally to size, largely disregards performance minority class. A binary classification model that learns systematically vote for majority will yield an artificially decoding accuracy directly reflects between two classes, rather than any genuine generalizable ability discriminate them. We show other evaluation metrics such Area Under Curve (AUC) Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC), less Balanced (BAcc) metric - defined arithmetic mean sensitivity specificity, provide more evaluations data. findings also highlight robustness Random Forest (RF), benefits using stratified cross-validation hyperprameter optimization tackle imbalance.

Preserved neural dynamics across animals performing similar behaviour

Nature, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 623(7988), P. 765 - 771

Published: Nov. 8, 2023

Abstract Animals of the same species exhibit similar behaviours that are advantageously adapted to their body and environment. These shaped at level by selection pressures over evolutionary timescales. Yet, it remains unclear how these common behavioural adaptations emerge from idiosyncratic neural circuitry each individual. The overall organization circuits is preserved across individuals 1 because evolutionarily specified developmental programme 2–4 . Such circuit may constrain activity 5–8 , leading low-dimensional latent dynamics population 9–11 Accordingly, here we suggested shared circuit-level constraints within a would lead suitably individuals. We analysed recordings populations monkey mouse motor cortex demonstrate in surprisingly when they perform behaviour.

Brain control of bimanual movement enabled by recurrent neural networks

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Published: Jan. 18, 2024

Brain-computer interfaces have so far focused largely on enabling the control of a single effector, for example computer cursor or robotic arm. Restoring multi-effector motion could unlock greater functionality people with paralysis (e.g., bimanual movement). However, it may prove challenging to decode simultaneous multiple effectors, as we recently found that compositional neural code links movements across all limbs and tuning changes nonlinearly during dual-effector motion. Here, demonstrate feasibility high-quality two cursors via network (NN) decoders. Through simulations, show NNs leverage 'laterality' dimension distinguish between left right-hand both hands become increasingly correlated. In training recurrent networks (RNNs) two-cursor control, developed method alters temporal structure data by dilating/compressing in time re-ordering it, which helps RNNs successfully generalize online setting. With this method, person can simultaneously. Our results suggest decoders be advantageous decoding, provided they are designed transfer

Altered brain-wide auditory networks in a zebrafish model of fragile X syndrome

Published: Sept. 16, 2020

Abstract Background Loss or disrupted expression of the FMR1 gene causes fragile X syndrome (FXS), most common monogenetic form autism in humans. Although disruptions sensory processing are core traits FXS and autism, neural underpinnings these phenotypes poorly understood. Using calcium imaging to record from entire brain at cellular resolution, we investigated neuronal responses visual auditory stimuli larval zebrafish, using fmr1 mutants model FXS. The purpose this study was alterations networks, brain-wide that underlie aspects autism. Results Combining functional analyses with neurons’ anatomical positions, found −/− animals have normal motion. However, there were several animals.

Finally, decoding capacities specific components ascending pathway altered: octavolateralis nucleus within significantly stronger amplitude while telencephalon weaker mutants. Conclusions We demonstrated hypersensitive sound, a 3–6 shift sensitivity, identified four sub-cortical regions and/or greater response strengths stimuli. also constructed an experimentally supported how information may be processed larvae.
