Shared latent representations of speech production for cross-patient speech decoding

Overview
This repository contains code used in analyses and creation of figures for the paper "Shared latent representations of speech production for cross-patient speech decoding".
We use an approach based on canonical correlation analysis (CCA) to learn an alignment between latent neural representations of speech production recorded with micro-electrocorticography (μECoG) arrays from multiple patients. We show that patient-specific neural data can be aligned to a shared cross-patient latent space, enabling the training of cross-patient speech decoding models that outperform patient-specific models.

Requirements
All analyses were performed in Python $\geq$ 3.10. Packages used can be found in the environment.yml and requirements.txt files.
Usage
Analyses and code for all main figures in the paper (excluding figure 1, which is primarily illustrative) can be found in aligned_decoding/figure_analyses/fig_X.ipynb as notebooks stepping through anaylses performed in each figure. Analyses and code for relevant supplementary figures is also included in aligned_decoding/figure_analyses/supp/supp_fig_X.ipynb.
Aditional directories within aligned_decoding/ contain .py files with functionality relevant to various analyses:
- aligned_decoding/alignment/: Classes and utility funcitons for various alignment methods, including CCA, multiview CCA (MCCA), and joint PCA.
- aligned_decoding/decoders/: Wrapper classes to enable easy cross-patient decoding with scikit-learn-style decoders.
- aligned_decoding/decomposition/: Dimensionality reduction methods, including a wrapper to perform dimensionality reduction while properly reshaping data with more than two dimensions.
- aligned_decoding/nn_models/: Classes and utility functions defining PyTorch Lightning modules for training sequence-to-sequence recurrent neural networks with both patient-specific and cross-patient inputs.
- aligned_decoding/processing_utils/: Utility functions for processing neural data, including data saving and subsampling.
- aligned_decoding/scripts/: Scripts for running various decoding analyses (e.g. SVM-based, RNN-based, subsampled w.r.t. spatial characteristics, etc.) structured to be called by upstream compute-cluster job scripts.
