Explainable fNIRS-based pain decoding under pharmacological conditions via deep transfer learning approach

Abstract

The proposed DL-based TL methodology may remove the necessity to build DL models for data collected at clinical or daily life conditions for which obtaining training data is not practical or building a new decoding model will have a computational cost. Unveiling the explanation power of different cortical regions may aid the design of more computationally efficient fNIRS-based brain-computer interface (BCI) system designs that target other application areas.
