Researchers have developed a new data augmentation technique called Physiological Noise Augmentation (PNA) to improve the accuracy of non-invasive brain-to-speech decoding systems. This method trains decoders to be resilient to common artifacts like ocular and cardiac activity by adding scaled noise components derived from independent component analysis of brain recordings. When applied to the MegNIST dataset, PNA, combined with 10-trial averaging, boosted the decoding accuracy of EEGNet by 4.7 percentage points compared to training without augmentation. AI
