Unknown Word Detection Based on Event-Related Brain Desynchronization Responses
نویسندگان
چکیده
The appearance of unknown words often disturbs communication. Most work on unknown words in spoken dialog systems deals with words that are uttered by the user, but which are not covered by the system’s vocabulary. In this paper, we focus on detecting unknown words from the user side, in the case where the system utterance is unknown to the user. In particular, we develop a classifier based on Electroencephalography (EEG) signal from the user’s brain waves, including the use of absolute power and Event-Related Desynchronization (ERD) features. The results show that we could detect the characteristics of brain waves at the time of unknown word perception significantly better than the chance rate.

Word repetition priming-induced oscillations in auditory cortex: a magnetoencephalography study.
Magnetoencephalography was used in a passive repetition priming paradigm. Words in two frequency bins (high/low) were presented to the participants auditorily. Participants' brain responses to these stimuli were analyzed using synthetic aperture magnetometry. The main finding of this study is that single-word repetition of low-frequency word pairs significantly attenuated the post-second word e...
متن کاملComparison of block and event-related fMRI designs in evaluating the word-frequency effect.
Printed word frequency can modulate retrieval effort in a task requiring associative semantic judgment. Event-related fMRI, while avoiding stimulus order predictability, is in theory statistically less powerful than block designs. We compared one event-related and two block designs that evaluated the same semantic judgment task and found that similar brain regions demonstrated the word frequenc...
متن کاملBrain oscillatory EEG event-related desynchronization (ERD) and -sychronization (ERS) responses during an auditory memory task are altered in children with epilepsy
PURPOSE Children with epilepsy are in risk for cognitive impairment, but reliable methods, other than neuropsychological testing, to verify such a decline are few. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of infrequent seizures on cognitive skills in children with non-symptomatic focal epilepsy taking antiepileptic medication but still having infrequent seizures. METHODS EEG (electr...
متن کاملMarkov Switching Model for Quick Detection of Event Related Desynchronization in EEG
Quick detection of motor intentions is critical in order to minimize the time required to activate a neuroprosthesis. We propose a Markov Switching Model (MSM) to achieve quick detection of an event related desynchronization (ERD) elicited by motor imagery (MI) and recorded by electroencephalography (EEG). Conventional brain computer interfaces (BCI) rely on sliding window classifiers in order ...
متن کاملBrain-computer interface training combined with transcranial direct current stimulation in patients with chronic severe hemiparesis: Proof of concept study.
OBJECTIVE Brain-computer interface technology has been applied to stroke patients to improve their motor function. Event-related desynchronization during motor imagery, which is used as a brain-computer interface trigger, is sometimes difficult to detect in stroke patients. Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is known to increase event-related desynchronization. This study inv...
