New paper: Performance Boundaries for BCIs Using Error-Related Potentials and Reinforcement Learning

Posted on June 7, 2026 By jannis
New paper: Performance Boundaries for BCIs Using Error-Related Potentials and Reinforcement Learning
publication, scientific publication

Aline Xavier Fidêncio; Felix Grün; Christian Klaes; Ioannis Iossifidis Non-invasive BCIs are promising assistive technologies, but real-world EEG is non-stationary—often causing performance to degrade over time. One route to robustness is to adapt the system online using feedback signals. In this work we study the limits of a closed-loop BCI framework that uses error-related potentials … Read More “New paper: Performance Boundaries for BCIs Using Error-Related Potentials and Reinforcement Learning” »

New paper: Distributional Properties of ReLU-Activations in Neural Networks That Learn by Memorization

New paper: Distributional Properties of ReLU-Activations in Neural Networks That Learn by Memorization
publication, scientific publication

Stephan Johann Lehmler; Muhammad Saif-ur-Rehman; Tobias Glasmachers; Ioannis Iossifidis How can we tell whether a neural network is learning generalizable structure versus memorizing rare patterns? In this paper, we study distributional signatures inside networks trained under memorization-heavy regimes. Our starting point is the idea that memorization corresponds to learning “rare” input features—an effect that can … Read More “New paper: Distributional Properties of ReLU-Activations in Neural Networks That Learn by Memorization” »

New paper: Invariance to Quantile Selection in Distributional Continuous Control

New paper: Invariance to Quantile Selection in Distributional Continuous Control
publication, scientific publication, teaching

Felix Grün; Muhammad Saif-ur-Rehman; Tobias Glasmachers; Ioannis Iossifidis Distributional reinforcement learning has delivered strong results in discrete-action benchmarks, largely driven by different ways of representing value distributions (e.g., via quantiles) and comparing them during training. In this work, we bring three prominent distributional methods—QR-DQN, IQN, and FQF—into the continuous action domain by integrating distributional critics … Read More “New paper: Invariance to Quantile Selection in Distributional Continuous Control” »

The concepts of muscle activity generation driven by upper limb kinematics
publication, scientific publication

Published at BioMedical Engineering OnLineMarie D. Schmidt*, Tobias Glasmachers and Ioannis Iossifidis Abstract Background: The underlying motivation of this work is to demonstrate that artificial muscle activity of known and unknown motion can be generated based on motion parameters, such as angular position, acceleration, and velocity of each joint (or the end-effector instead), which are similarly represented … Read More “The concepts of muscle activity generation driven by upper limb kinematics” »

Improving the performance of EEG decoding using anchored-STFT in conjunction with gradient norm adversarial augmentation
publication, scientific publication

Preprint https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.14694 AbstractObjective. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) enable direct communication between humans and machines by translating brain activity into control commands. Electroencephalography (EEG) is one of the most common sources of neural signals because of its inexpensive and non-invasivenature. However, interpretation of EEG signals is non-trivial because EEG signals have a low spatial resolution and are … Read More “Improving the performance of EEG decoding using anchored-STFT in conjunction with gradient norm adversarial augmentation” »
