A Fusion Method Incorporating Dual-Attention Mechanism and Transfer Learning Into UNet++ for Remote Sensing Image Coastline Extraction by Yanru Song, Bai Xue, Yueyue Meng, Xiang Qin, Yixiao Li, Qi Liu

“…This paper applies a deep convolutional neural network to the problem of sea-land segmentation in high-spatial resolution remote sensing images and innovates upon the classic encoder-decoder architecture. Firstly, to enhance the network&#x2019;s ability to distinguish coastlines, a dual attention mechanism is introduced into the UNet++ network to improve the learning capacity of coastline features while suppressing the learning of non-coastline features. …”

High-Frequency Power Reflects Dual Intentions of Time and Movement for Active Brain&#x2013;Computer Interface by Jiayuan Meng, Xiaoyu Li, Simiao Li, Xinan Fan, Minpeng Xu, Dong Ming

“…Consequently, compared to the BT sessions, AT sessions led to substantially smaller absolute deviation time behaviourally, along with larger high-frequency event-related desynchronization (ERD) in frontal-motor areas, and significantly improved decoding accuracy of time. Moreover, AT sessions achieved enhanced motor-related contralateral dominance of event-related potentials (ERP) and ERDs than the BT, which illustrated a synergistic relationship between the two intentions. …”
