Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Electroencephalography (EEG) is crucial for brain-computer interface (BCI) development.
  • Traditional methods face challenges with EEG signal noise and artifact interference.
  • Transformer models offer novel approaches to process complex neural data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review transformer-based models in EEG signal processing and BCI.
  • To evaluate their efficacy in mitigating EEG artifacts and improving data accuracy.
  • To identify research gaps and future directions for transformer-enhanced BCIs.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of transformer architectures (e.g., TSTN, EEG Conformer) applied to EEG.
  • Analysis of attention mechanisms for feature extraction and interpretability.
  • Examination of empirical validation and methodological rigor in existing studies.

Main Results:

  • Transformer models demonstrate significant capabilities in reducing EEG noise and artifacts.
  • These models enhance decoding and classification accuracies across diverse mental tasks.
  • Attention mechanisms effectively highlight critical temporal and spatial EEG features.

Conclusions:

  • Transformer models are highly effective for EEG signal processing and BCI applications.
  • Emerging research shows promise in noise reduction and expanding BCI paradigms.
  • Future work should focus on pre-trained transformers and real-time, multi-task BCI systems.
