Brain signals refer to the biometric information collected from the human brain. The research on brain signals aims to discover the underlying neurological or physical status of the individuals by signal decoding. The emerging deep learning techniques have improved the study of brain signals significantly in recent years. In this work, we first present a taxonomy of non-invasive brain signals and the basics of deep learning algorithms. Then, we provide the frontiers of applying deep learning for non-invasive brain signals analysis, by summarizing a large number of recent publications. Moreover, upon the deep learning-powered brain signal studies, we report the potential real-world applications which benefit not only disabled people but also normal individuals. Finally, we discuss the opening challenges and future directions.
脑信号是指从人脑中采集的生物计量信息。脑信号的研究旨在通过信号解码来发现个体的潜在神经或生理状态。近年来,新兴的深度学习技术极大地促进了脑信号的研究。在这项工作中,我们首先介绍了非侵入性脑信号的分类法和深度学习算法的基础知识。然后,通过总结大量的最新文献,我们提供了应用深度学习分析非侵入性脑信号的前沿领域。此外,基于基于深度学习的脑信号研究,我们报告了潜在的实际应用,这些应用不仅使残疾人受益,也使正常人受益。最后,我们讨论了开放的挑战和未来的方向。
