Professor Heung-Il Suk's research lab specializes in computational neuroscience and biomedical signal processing, with a focus on developing advanced machine learning and probabilistic modeling techniques for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and neurological disorder diagnosis. The lab pioneers Bayesian and information-theoretic frameworks for spatio-spectral feature extraction in EEG data, enabling subject- and class-specific optimization of frequency bands and spatial filters. It also extends these methods to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and mild cognitive impairment, using multi-task learning and graph-based models to capture complex, multimodal data distributions. The lab emphasizes data-driven, interpretable, and personalized approaches to brain signal analysis and clinical phenotyping.

As there has been a paradigm shift in the learning load from a human subject to a computer, machine learning has been considered as a useful tool for Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs). In this paper, we propose a novel Bayesian framework for discriminative feature extraction for motor imagery classification in an EEG-based BCI in which the class-discriminative frequency bands and the corresponding spatial filters are optimized by means of the probabilistic and information-theoretic approaches. In
Abstract EEG‐based discrimination among motor imagery states has been widely studied for brain‐computer interfaces (BCIs) due to the great potential for real‐life applications. However, in terms of designing a motor imagery‐based BCI system, a lot of research in the literature either uses a frequency band of interest selected manually based on the visual analysis of EEG data or is set to a general broad band, causing performance degradation in classification. In this article, we propose a novel
Recently, spatio-temporal filtering to enhance decoding for Brain-Computer-Interfacing (BCI) has become increasingly popular. In this work, we discuss a novel, fully Bayesian-and thereby probabilistic-framework, called Bayesian Spatio-Spectral Filter Optimization (BSSFO) and apply it to a large data set of 80 non-invasive EEG-based BCI experiments. Across the full frequency range, the BSSFO framework allows to analyze which spatio-spectral parameters are common and which ones differ across the s
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a leading cause of disability; its symptoms interfere with social, occupational, interpersonal, and academic functioning. However, the diagnosis of MDD is still made by phenomenological approach. The advent of neuroimaging techniques allowed numerous studies to use resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and estimate functional connectivity for brain-disease identification. Recently, attempts have been made to investigate effective connect
In this work, we propose a novel subclass-based multi-task learning method for feature selection in computer-aided Alzheimer's Disease (AD) or Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) diagnosis. Unlike the previous methods that often assumed a unimodal data distribution, we take into account the underlying multipeak distribution of classes. The rationale for our approach is that it is highly likely for neuroimaging data to have multiple peaks or modes in distribution, e.g., mixture of Gaussians, due to t
