Implementation of artificial intelligence and machine learning-based methods in brain-computer interaction

Brain-computer interfaces are used for direct two-way communication between the human brain and the computer. Brain signals contain valuable information about the mental state and brain activity of the examined subject. However, due to their non-stationarity and susceptibility to various types of interference, their processing, analysis and interpretation are challenging. For these reasons, the research in the field of brain-computer interfaces is focused on the implementation of artificial intelligence, especially in five main areas: calibration, noise suppression, communication, mental condition estimation, and motor imagery. The use of algorithms based on artificial intelligence and machine learning has proven to be very promising in these application domains, especially due to their ability to predict and learn from previous experience. Therefore, their implementation within medical technologies can contribute to more accurate information about the mental state of subjects, alleviate the consequences of serious diseases or improve the quality of life of disabled patients.

Marine Predators Algorithm: A Review

Marine Predators Algorithm (MPA) is a recent nature-inspired optimizer stemmed from widespread foraging mechanisms based on Lévy and Brownian movements in ocean predators. Due to its superb features, such as derivative-free, parameter-less, easy-to-use, flexible, and simplicity, MPA is quickly evolved for a wide range of optimization problems in a short period. Therefore, its impressive characteristics inspire this review to analyze and discuss the primary MPA research studies established. In this review paper, the growth of the MPA is analyzed based on 102 research papers to show its powerful performance. The MPA inspirations and its theoretical concepts are also illustrated, focusing on its convergence behaviour. Thereafter, the MPA versions suggested improving the MPA behaviour on connecting the search space shape of real-world optimization problems are analyzed. A plethora and diverse optimization applications have been addressed, relying on MPA as the main solver, which is also described and organized. In addition, a critical discussion about the convergence behaviour and the main limitation of MPA is given. The review is end-up highlighting the main findings of this survey and suggests some possible MPA-related improvements and extensions that can be carried out in the future.
