Why the study?
Motor imagery electroencephalogram (MI-EEG) decoding is limited by complex signal characteristics, individual differences, and the unsatisfactory performance of suboptimal traditional models.
The MSEI-ENet model demonstrates high accuracy and generalizability for multi-task MI-EEG decoding.
MSEI-ENet may advance subject-independent MI-EEG decoding; leaves open clinical translation pending prospective validation.
BACKGROUND: Due to complex signal characteristics and distinct individual differences, the decoding of a motor imagery electroencephalogram (MI-EEG) is limited by the unsatisfactory performance of suboptimal traditional models. METHODS: A subject-independent model named MSEI-ENet is proposed for multiple-task MI-EEG decoding. It employs a specially designed multi-scale structure EEG-inception module (MSEI) for comprehensive feature learning. The encoder module further helps to detect discriminative information by its multi-head self-attention layer with a larger receptive field, which enhances feature representation and improves recognition efficacy. RESULTS: The experimental results on Competition IV dataset 2a showed that our proposed model yielded an overall accuracy of 94.30%, MF1 score of 94.31%, and Kappa of 0.92. CONCLUSIONS: A performance comparison with state-of-the-art methods demonstrated the effectiveness and generalizability of the proposed model on challenging multi-task MI-EEG decoding.
