However, its data are usually enormous, occupy too many bandwidth sources and require immense power when transmitted in the raw data form, so it is necessary to compress the signal. This paper proposes a personalized EEG compression and reconstruction algorithm for the SSVEP application. In the algorithm, to realize personalization, a primary artificial neural network (ANN) model is first pre-trained with the open benchmark database towards BCI application (BETA). Then, an adaptive ANN model is generated with incremental learning for each subject to compress their individual data. Additionally, a personalized, non-uniform quantization method is proposed to reduce the errors caused by compression. The recognition accuracy only decreases by 3.79% when the compression rate is 12.7 times, and is tested on BETA. The proposed algorithm can reduce signal loss by from 50.43% to 81.08% in the accuracy test compared to the case without ANN and uniform quantization.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info13040186","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,6]],"date-time":"2022-04-06T16:21:30Z","timestamp":1649262090000},"page":"186","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["A Personalized Compression Method for Steady-State Visual Evoked Potential EEG Signals"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Sitao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1379-591X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kainan","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4985-3122","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yibo","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Binbin","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ming","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100083, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"559","DOI":"10.1038\/541559a","article-title":"Neuroscience: Big brain, big data","volume":"541","author":"Landhuis","year":"2017","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"105","DOI":"10.1016\/j.dsp.2014.08.007","article-title":"Model based compressed sensing reconstruction algorithms for ECG telemonitoring in WBANs","volume":"35","author":"Lalos","year":"2014","journal-title":"Digit.
