T-A-MFFNet: Multi-feature fusion network for EEG analysis and driving fatigue detection based on time domain network...

Driving fatigue detection based on EEG signals is a research hotspot in applying brain-computer interfaces. EEG signal is complex, unstable, and nonlinear. Most existing methods rarely analyze the data characteristics from multiple dimensions, so it takes work to analyze the data comprehensively. To analyze EEG signals more comprehensively, this paper evaluates a feature extraction strategy of EEG data based on differential entropy (DE). This method combines the characteristics of different frequency bands, extracts the frequency domain characteristics of EEG, and retains the spatial information between channels. This paper proposes a multi-feature fusion network (T-A-MFFNet) based on the time domain and attention network. The model is composed of a time domain network (TNet), channel attention network (CANet), spatial attention network (SANet), and multi-feature fusion network(MFFNet) based on a squeeze network. T-A-MFFNet aims to learn more valuable features from the input data to achieve good classification results. Specifically, the TNet network extracts high-level time series information from EEG data. CANet and SANet are used to fuse channel and spatial features. They use MFFNet to merge multi-dimensional features and realize classification. The validity of the model is verified on the SEED-VIG dataset. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the proposed method reaches 85.65 %, which is superior to the current popular model. The proposed method can learn more valuable information from EEG signals to improve the ability to identify fatigue status and promote the development of the research field of driving fatigue detection based on EEG signals.
