Abstract
Numerous individuals encounter challenges in verbal communication due to various factors, including physical disabilities, neurological disorders, and strokes. In response to this pressing need, technology has actively pursued solutions to bridge the communication gap, recognizing the inherent difficulties faced in verbal communication, particularly in contexts where traditional methods may be inadequate. Electroencephalogram (EEG) has emerged as a primary non-invasive method for measuring brain activity, offering valuable insights from a cognitive neurodevelopmental perspective. It forms the basis for Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) that provide a communication channel for individuals with neurological impairments, thereby empowering them to express themselves effectively. EEG-based BCIs, especially those adapted to decode imagined speech from EEG signals, represent a significant advancement in enabling individuals with speech disabilities to communicate through text or synthesized speech. By utilizing cognitive neurodevelopmental insights, researchers have been able to develop innovative approaches for interpreting EEG signals and translating them into meaningful communication outputs. To aid researchers in effectively addressing this complex challenge, this review article synthesizes key findings from state-of-the-art significant studies. It investigates into the methodologies employed by various researchers, including preprocessing techniques, feature extraction methods, and classification algorithms utilizing Deep Learning and Machine Learning approaches and their integration. Furthermore, the review outlines the potential avenues for future research, with the goal of advancing the practical implementation of EEG-based BCI systems for decoding imagined speech from a cognitive neurodevelopmental perspective.
期刊介绍:
Cognitive Neurodynamics provides a unique forum of communication and cooperation for scientists and engineers working in the field of cognitive neurodynamics, intelligent science and applications, bridging the gap between theory and application, without any preference for pure theoretical, experimental or computational models.
The emphasis is to publish original models of cognitive neurodynamics, novel computational theories and experimental results. In particular, intelligent science inspired by cognitive neuroscience and neurodynamics is also very welcome.
The scope of Cognitive Neurodynamics covers cognitive neuroscience, neural computation based on dynamics, computer science, intelligent science as well as their interdisciplinary applications in the natural and engineering sciences. Papers that are appropriate for non-specialist readers are encouraged.
1. There is no page limit for manuscripts submitted to Cognitive Neurodynamics. Research papers should clearly represent an important advance of especially broad interest to researchers and technologists in neuroscience, biophysics, BCI, neural computer and intelligent robotics.
2. Cognitive Neurodynamics also welcomes brief communications: short papers reporting results that are of genuinely broad interest but that for one reason and another do not make a sufficiently complete story to justify a full article publication. Brief Communications should consist of approximately four manuscript pages.
3. Cognitive Neurodynamics publishes review articles in which a specific field is reviewed through an exhaustive literature survey. There are no restrictions on the number of pages. Review articles are usually invited, but submitted reviews will also be considered.
