Transfer Learning Framework for Cognitive Ability Classification Using Electroencephalography
摘要
Electroencephalography (EEG) serves as a crucial tool for analyzing cognitive ability, providing insights about brain activity associated with various mental states. The present study investigates cognitive performance in both resting and active states among sports and non-sports individuals through real-time EEG signals collected from frontal and parietal electrodes (F3, F4, P3, and P4). A rigorous preprocessing pipeline, including filtering techniques and Independent Component Analysis (ICA), was employed to enhance data quality by reducing noise and artifacts. Utilizing transfer learning approaches, four pre-trained models such as VGG16, VGG19, INCEPTIONV3, and CNN were compared to identify cognitive ability differences. Notably, the CNN model achieved an accuracy of 98.6%, demonstrating the power of transfer learning techniques in accurately classifying cognitive ability. The study findings reveal significant differences in cognitive performance between sports and non-sports individuals, with the sports group exhibiting enhanced cognitive function due to regular physical activities.
