Apply 2D convolution kernels on EEGNet to improve classification accuracy

Published: 09 September 2024 Publication History

Abstract

The electroencephalogram (EEG) is crucial in both medical and research categories, providing insights into continuous and irregular electrical potential fluctuations on the scalp surface through Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). The processing time required by BCI in handling EEG data is a significant consideration, as it can impact not only researchers' result interpretations but also play a crucial role in medical professionals' assessment of patients' conditions. The EEGNet is an improved convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture designed to classification of specific brainwave patterns in EEG. The original version of EEGNet is one dimensional convolution kernels. Multi-channel data are gathered by electrodes sticked on scalp. However, the original EEGNet pay most attention on the horizontal and vertical features one by one channel. Some features across channels will be omit. Moreover, the processing time are varying for 2D kernels size. This study demonstrates the impact of 2D convolution kernels on accuracy and processing time. Our research shows that 2D convolution kernels enhances accuracy while reducing processing time.
