HCFT: Hierarchical Convolutional Fusion Transformer for EEG Decoding

  • 双分支卷积捕捉时序与空间动态,跨注意力对齐特征
  • 在两个数据集上分别达到80.83%准确率与99.10%癫痫检测灵敏度
  • 轻量设计适合实际脑机接口应用,尤其擅长跨被试分类

脑电图(EEG)解码需要有效提取和整合多通道信号中的复杂时间、频谱与空间特征。为此,我们提出一种轻量且可泛化的解码框架HCFT,结合双分支卷积编码器与分层Transformer模块,实现多尺度EEG表征学习。模型首先通过时域与时空卷积分支捕捉局部时序与时空动态,再利用交叉注意力机制在各阶段对齐特征;随后采用分层Transformer融合结构编码全局依赖关系,并引入定制的Dynamic Tanh归一化模块替代传统层归一化,以增强训练稳定性并减少冗余。在BCI Competition IV-2b和CHB-MIT两个基准数据集上进行大量实验,结果显示:在IV-2b上平均准确率达80.83%,Cohen's kappa为0.6165;在CHB-MIT上灵敏度达99.10%,每小时误报0.0236次,特异性为98.82%,均优于十余种先进基线方法。消融实验表明,每个核心组件均显著贡献性能,验证了该框架在捕捉EEG动态方面的有效性及其在真实脑机接口应用中的潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Electroencephalography (EEG) decoding requires models that can effectively extract and integrate complex temporal, spectral, and spatial features from multichannel signals. To address this challenge, we propose a lightweight and generalizable decoding framework named Hierarchical Convolutional Fusion Transformer (HCFT), which combines dual-branch convolutional encoders and hierarchical Transformer blocks for multi-scale EEG representation learning. Specifically, the model first captures local temporal and spatiotemporal dynamics through time-domain and time-space convolutional branches, and then aligns these features via a cross-attention mechanism that enables interaction between branches at each stage. Subsequently, a hierarchical Transformer fusion structure is employed to encode global dependencies across all feature stages, while a customized Dynamic Tanh normalization module is introduced to replace traditional Layer Normalization in order to enhance training stability and reduce redundancy. Extensive experiments are conducted on two representative benchmark datasets, BCI Competition IV-2b and CHB-MIT, covering both event-related cross-subject classification and continuous seizure prediction tasks. Results show that HCFT achieves 80.83% average accuracy and a Cohen's kappa of 0.6165 on BCI IV-2b, as well as 99.10% sensitivity, 0.0236 false positives per hour, and 98.82% specificity on CHB-MIT, consistently outperforming over ten state-of-the-art baseline methods. Ablation studies confirm that each core component of the proposed framework contributes significantly to the overall decoding performance, demonstrating HCFT's effectiveness in capturing EEG dynamics and its potential for real-world BCI applications.
