Filter Bank Sinc-ShallowNet with EMD-based Mixed Noise Adding Data Augmentation for Motor Imagery Classification
Summary
The novel Filter Bank Sinc-ShallowNet algorithm enhances motor imagery-based brain-computer interfaces (MI-BCI) for rehabilitation. This method improves EEG signal classification accuracy, especially with limited data.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Biomedical Engineering
- Machine Learning
Background:
- Motor imagery-based brain-computer interfaces (MI-BCI) are crucial for rehabilitation but face performance limitations.
- Existing lightweight neural networks struggle with small datasets and insufficient frequency domain analysis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To improve the performance of lightweight neural networks for MI-BCI applications.
- To address challenges of small sample sizes and multi-scale frequency information extraction in EEG signals.
Main Methods:
- Proposed the Filter Bank Sinc-ShallowNet (FB-Sinc-ShallowNet) algorithm, enhancing Sinc-ShallowNet with a filter bank structure for sensory motor rhythms.
- Utilized empirical mode decomposition (EMD) for a mixed noise adding method to augment EEG data quality and quantity.
- Evaluated the algorithm on the BCI competition IV IIa dataset.
Main Results:
- Achieved a highest average accuracy of 77.2% on the BCI competition IV IIa dataset.
- Demonstrated a 6.34% accuracy improvement over the state-of-the-art Sinc-ShallowNet method.
- Validated the effectiveness of the filter bank structure in lightweight neural networks.
Conclusions:
- The FB-Sinc-ShallowNet algorithm offers a novel approach for data augmentation and classification of MI-based EEG signals.
- This method shows significant potential for practical applications in the rehabilitation field, particularly for decoding MI-EEG with limited samples.
