| contents | Background: Topological data analysis (TDA) has exploded as a tool for analyzing and making sense of high dimensional datasets across a variety of fields. Mapper is a tool from TDA that captures low-dimensional structure from high-dimensional data, precisely the approach needed to capture relevant information from high-dimensional neural time series. Electrical potential scalp recording, or electroencephalography (EEG), is routinely used in clinical applications and research studies thanks to its noninvasive nature, relatively inexpensive equipment, and high temporal resolution. But, it is prone to contamination, exhibits low spatial resolution, and has a non-stationary nature. Thus, it requires advanced signal processing and mathematical analysis methods for tasks requiring unsupervised brain state clustering. New Method: We introduce MapperEEG, an approach to unsupervised brain state clustering that uses tools from classical EEG analysis combined with Mapper to cluster and connect brain states. Results: We show that MapperEEG can serve as a clustering algorithm in the spectral domain and provide additional information about the underlying brain state connectivity in a tapping task. Additionally, we use a go/no-go shooting task to explore how MapperEEG can still provide insight into the underlying structure and clusters of brain states even when it and other clustering methods fail. Comparison with Existing Methods: We demonstrate that it outperforms six other clustering algorithms such as hierarchical clustering, Hidden Markov Models, and basic autoencoders on identifying states in a tapping task. Conclusions: MapperEEG offers a novel and effective approach to analyzing EEG data, showing promise for brain state clustering and analysis. |
