MSEI-ENet: A Multi-Scale EEG-Inception Integrated Encoder Network for Motor Imagery EEG Decoding
Background: Due to complex signal characteristics and distinct individual differences, the decoding of a motor imagery electroencephalogram (MI-EEG) is limited by the unsatisfactory performance of suboptimal traditional models. Methods: A subject-independent model named MSEI-ENet is proposed for mul...

description | Background: Due to complex signal characteristics and distinct individual differences, the decoding of a motor imagery electroencephalogram (MI-EEG) is limited by the unsatisfactory performance of suboptimal traditional models. Methods: A subject-independent model named MSEI-ENet is proposed for multiple-task MI-EEG decoding. It employs a specially designed multi-scale structure EEG-inception module (MSEI) for comprehensive feature learning. The encoder module further helps to detect discriminative information by its multi-head self-attention layer with a larger receptive field, which enhances feature representation and improves recognition efficacy. Results: The experimental results on Competition IV dataset 2a showed that our proposed model yielded an overall accuracy of 94.30%, MF1 score of 94.31%, and Kappa of 0.92. Conclusions: A performance comparison with state-of-the-art methods demonstrated the effectiveness and generalizability of the proposed model on challenging multi-task MI-EEG decoding. |
