Reconsidering Spatial Priors In EEG Source Estimation: Does White Matter Contribute to EEG Rhythms?
Electroencephalogram (EEG) has been a core tool used in functional neuroimaging in humans for nearly a hundred years. Because it is inexpensive, easy to implement, and noninvasive, it also represents an excellent candidate modality for use in the BCI setting. Nonetheless, a complete understanding of how EEG measurements (voltage fluctuations) relate to information processing in the brain remains somewhat elusive. A deeper understanding of the neuroanatomical underpinnings of the EEG signal may help explain inter-individual variability in evoked and induced potentials, which may improve BCI therapies targeted to the individual. According to classic biophysical models, EEG fluctuations are primarily a reflection of locally synchronized neuronal oscillations within the gray matter oriented approximately orthogonal to the scalp. In contrast, global models ignore local signals due to dendritic processing, and suggest that propagation delays due to white matter architecture are responsible for the EEG signal, and are capable of explaining the coherence between numerous rhythms (e.g., alpha) at spatially distinct areas of the scalp. Recently, combined local-global models suggest that the EEG signal may reflect a superposition of local processing along with global contributors including transduction along white matter tracts in the brain. Incorporating both local and global (e.g., white matter) priors into EEG source models may therefore improve source estimates. These models may also help disentangle which aspects of the EEG signal are predicted to colocalize spatially with measurements from functional MRI (fMRI). Here, we explore the possibility that white matter conductivity contributes to EEG measurements via a generative model based on classic axonal transduction models, and discuss its potential implications for source estimation.

A spatial compositional model (SCM) for linear unmixing and endmember uncertainty estimation
The normal compositional model (NCM) has been extensively used in hyperspectral unmixing. However, most of the previous research has focused on estimation of endmembers and/or their variability. Also, little work has emp…
Hyperspectral UnmixingPath-SGD: Path-Normalized Optimization in Deep Neural Networks
We revisit the choice of SGD for training deep neural networks by reconsidering the appropriate geometry in which to optimize the weights. We argue for a geometry invariant to rescaling of weights that does not affect th…
DASP: Self-supervised Nighttime Monocular Depth Estimation with Domain Adaptation of Spatiotemporal Priors
Self-supervised monocular depth estimation has achieved notable success under daytime conditions. However, its performance deteriorates markedly at night due to low visibility and varying illumination, e.g., insufficient…

We develop a Bayesian approach to estimate weight matrices in spatial autoregressive (or spatial lag) models. Datasets in regional economic literature are typically characterized by a limited number of time periods T rel…
