Feature-aware domain invariant representation learning for EEG motor imagery decoding
摘要
Electroencephalography (EEG)-based motor imagery (MI) is extensively utilized in clinical rehabilitation and virtual reality-based movement control. Decoding EEG-based MI signals is challenging because of the inherent spatio-temporal variability of the original signal representation, coupled with a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which impedes the extraction of clean and robust features. To address this issue, we propose a multi-scale spatio-temporal domain-invariant representation learning method, termed MSDI. By decomposing the original signal into spatial and temporal components, the proposed method extracts invariant features at multiple scales from both components. To further constrain the representation to invariant domains, we introduce a feature-aware shift operation that resamples the representation based on its feature statistics and feature measure, thereby projecting the features into a domain-invariant space. We evaluate our proposed method via two publicly available datasets, BNCI2014-001 and BNCI2014-004, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance on both datasets. Furthermore, our method exhibits superior time efficiency and noise resistance.
