The brain-computer interface consists of connecting the brain with machines using the brainwaves as a mean of communication for several applications that help to improve human life. Unfortunately, Electroencephalography that is mainly used to measure brain activities produces noisy, non-linear and non-stationary signals that weaken the performances of Common Spatial Pattern (CSP) techniques. As a solution, deep learning waives the drawbacks of the traditional techniques, but it still not used properly. In this paper, we propose a new approach based on Convolutional Neural Networks (ConvNets) that decodes the raw signal to achieve state-of-the-art performances using an architecture based on Inception. The obtained results show that our method outperforms state-of-the-art filter bank common spatial patterns (FBCSP) and ShallowConvNet on based on the dataset IIa of the BCI Competition IV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
