Deep learning for motor imagery EEG-based classification: A review

Al-Saegh, Ali, Dawwd, Shefa A., Abdul-Jabbar, Jassim M.·2021·Biomedical Signal Processing and Control

Abstract

Abstract Objectives The availability of large and varied Electroencephalogram (EEG) datasets, rapidly advances and inventions in deep learning techniques, and highly powerful and diversified computing systems have all permitted to easily analyzing those datasets and discovering vital information within. However, the classification process of EEG signals and discovering vital information should be robust, automatic, and with high accuracy. Motor Imagery (MI) EEG has attracted us due to its significant applications in daily life. Methods This paper attempts to achieve those goals throughout a systematic review of the state-of-the-art studies within this field of research. The process began by intensely surfing the well-known specialized digital libraries and, as a result, 40 related papers were gathered. The papers were scrutinized upon multiple noteworthy technical issues, among them deep neural network architecture, input formulation, number of MI EEG tasks, and frequency range of interest. Outcomes Deep neural networks build robust and automated systems for the classification of MI EEG recordings by exploiting the whole input data throughout learning salient features. Specifically, convolutional neural networks (CNN) and hybrid-CNN (h-CNN) are the dominant architectures with high performance in comparison to public datasets with other types of architectures. The MI related datasets, input formulation, frequency ranges, and preprocessing and regularization methods were also reviewed. Inferences This review gives the required preliminaries in developing MI EEG-based BCI systems. The review process of the published articles in the last five years aims to help in choosing the appropriate deep neural network architecture and other hyperparameters for developing those systems.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
