2.0.0-rc.1

Contributions

This version contains major refactoring efforts and features. We anticipate a few additional refactor efforts in the near term based on feature requests from the community and CAMBI. These will support multi-modality, data sharing, and more complex language modeling. We are utilizing a release candidate to make features and bugfixes available sooner despite the full second version being in-progress. Thank you for your understanding and continued support! All pull requests in Github from #123 until #217 represent the 2.0.0-rc.1 work.

The highlights:

  • Acquisition Enhancements: multi-modal support and better performance overall! #171, #174
  • Language Model Refactor: deprecation of docker base models. Addition of LanguageModel base class, UniformLanguageModel and a hugggingface model GPT2LanguageModel. #207
  • Signal Model Refactor: Refactor with base class definitions and general cleanup. PcaRdaKde model updates to decrease training time and limit the magnitude of likelihood responses. #132, #140, #141, #147, #208
  • Matrix Display: SCP: A single character flash Matrix speller is now integrated. A MatrixDisplay and accompanying MatrixCalibration + Matrix Time Test Calibration. #192, #205, #213
  • Inquiry Preview: a mode in RSVP spelling that allows a user to see an inquiry before it is presented in a serial fashion. The user may also engage with the preview using a key press; either to confirm or skip an inquiry. See below for more details.
  • GUI updates: all BciPy core GUIs and methods are converted to PyQt5 for better cross-platform availability and tooling. See below for more details.
  • Linux compatibility: with the upgrading of dependencies and a helpful shell script (see scripts/shell/linux_requirements.sh) for setting up new machines, we are linux compatible. See below for more details.
  • Prestimulus buffer and Inquiry Based Training - support to add prestimulus data to reshaping and data queries to permit better filter application. Additionally, use this buffer and the inquiry reshaper to mimic data experienced in real time during training in offline_analysis.py #208
