Background:
In the realm of brain-computer interfaces (BCI), identifying emotions from electroencephalogram (EEG) data is a difficult endeavor because of the volume of data, the intricacy of the signals, and the several channels that make up the signals.
New Methods:
Using dual-stream structure scaling and multiple attention mechanisms (LDMGEEG), a lightweight network is provided to maximize the accuracy and performance of EEG-based emotion identification. Reducing the number of computational parameters while maintaining the current level of classification accuracy is the aim. This network employs a symmetric dual-stream architecture to assess separately time-domain and frequency-domain spatio-temporal maps constructed using differential entropy features of EEG signals as inputs.
Result:
The experimental results show that after significantly lowering the number of parameters, the model achieved the best possible performance in the field, with a 95.18 % accuracy on the SEED dataset.
Comparison With Existing Methods:
Moreover, it reduced the number of parameters by 98 % when compared to existing models.
Conclusion:
The proposed method distinct channel-time/frequency-space multiple attention and post-attention methods enhance the model's ability to aggregate features and result in lightweight performance.
