Thermal Property Microscopy with Compressive Sensing Frequency-Domain Thermoreflectance

Spatial mapping of thermal properties is critical for unveiling the structure-property relation of materials, heterogeneous interfaces, and devices. These property images can also serve as datasets for training artificial intelligence models for material discoveries and optimization. Here we introduce a high-throughput thermal property imaging method called compressive sensing frequency domain thermoreflectance (CS-FDTR), which can robustly profile thermal property distributions with micrometer resolutions while requiring only a random subset of pixels being experimentally measured. The high-resolution thermal property image is reconstructed from the raw down-sampled data through L_1-regularized minimization. The high-throughput imaging capability of CS-FDTR is validated using the following cases: (a) the thermal conductance of a patterned heterogeneous interface, (b) thermal conductivity variations of an annealed pyrolytic graphite sample, and (c) the sharp change in thermal conductivity across a vertical aluminum/graphite interface. With less than half of the pixels being experimentally sampled, the thermal property images measured using CS-FDTR show nice agreements with the ground truth (point-by-point scanning), with a relative deviation below 15%. This work opens the possibility of high-throughput thermal property imaging without sacrificing the data quality, which is critical for materials discovery and screening.

Cepstral Analysis Based Artifact Detection, Recognition and Removal for Prefrontal EEG

This paper proposes to use cepstrum for artifact detection, recognition and removal in prefrontal EEG. This work focuses on the artifact caused by eye movement. A database containing artifact-free EEG and eye movement contaminated EEG from different subjects is established. A cepstral analysis-based feature extraction with support vector machine (SVM) based classifier is designed to identify the artifacts from the target EEG signals. The proposed method achieves an accuracy of 99.62% on the artifact detection task and a 82.79% accuracy on the 6-category eye movement classification task. A statistical value-based artifact removal method is proposed and evaluated on a public EEG database, where an accuracy improvement of 3.46% is obtained on the 3-category emotion classification task. In order to make a confident decision of each 5s EEG segment, the algorithm requires only 0.66M multiplication operations. Compared to the state-of-the-art approaches in artifact detection and removal, the proposed method features higher detection accuracy and lower computational cost, which makes it a more suitable solution to be integrated into a real-time and artifact robust Brain-Machine Interface (BMI).

SaleNet: A low-power end-to-end CNN accelerator for sustained attention level evaluation using EEG

This paper proposes SaleNet - an end-to-end convolutional neural network (CNN) for sustained attention level evaluation using prefrontal electroencephalogram (EEG). A bias-driven pruning method is proposed together with group convolution, global average pooling (GAP), near-zero pruning, weight clustering and quantization for the model compression, achieving a total compression ratio of 183.11x. The compressed SaleNet obtains a state-of-the-art subject-independent sustained attention level classification accuracy of 84.2% on the recorded 6-subject EEG database in this work. The SaleNet is implemented on a Artix-7 FPGA with a competitive power consumption of 0.11 W and an energy-efficiency of 8.19 GOps/W.
