对比不同方法,发现非重叠分段+固定学习率能提升脑负荷分类泛化能力

A comparative and critical study of EEGNet for fNIRS-driven cognitive load classification

  • 用非重叠分段和固定学习率减少时间冗余,提升跨被试泛化性
  • 在独立被试评估下最高准确率达56.11%,优于重叠分段方案
  • 强调预处理与学习率选择对实时、可靠脑负荷检测的关键作用

由于时间变异性、个体差异及预处理敏感性,从功能近红外光谱(fNIRS)信号中准确分类认知负荷仍具挑战。本研究系统评估了EEGNet在fNIRS认知负荷分类中的表现,考察了时间分段策略(重叠与非重叠)、窗口长度(10秒、20秒、30秒)、特征提取方法(ANOVA、PCA、FastICA)、学习率配置(固定与自适应)以及评估协议(随机划分与被试独立(SI))。随机划分实验显示,重叠分段结合小固定学习率(0.01–0.001)效果最佳,因可捕捉血流动力学变化的密集冗余信息;但在被试独立评估中,准确率显著下降,表明泛化能力有限。采用非重叠分段时,以20秒窗口、PCA特征和0.1学习率获得最高准确率56.11%。结果表明,去除时间冗余有助于模型学习更具鲁棒性和泛化的认知负荷表征。虽然自适应学习率提升了训练稳定性,但未超越最优固定学习率。研究揭示了分段策略与学习率选择对模型泛化的重要影响,明确了构建可靠、实时、被试独立认知负荷分类系统所需的方法论考量。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurately classifying cognitive load from functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) signals remains a significant challenge due to temporal variability, inter-subject differences, and sensitivity to preprocessing choices. This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of EEGNet for fNIRS-based cognitive load classification by systematically examining the effects of temporal segmentation strategies (overlapping vs. non-overlapping), window lengths (10s, 20s, 30s), feature extraction methods (Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Fast Independent Component Analysis (FastICA)), learning rate configurations (fixed and adaptive), and evaluation protocols (random split vs. subject-independent (SI)). Results from random-split experiments show that overlapping segmentation, combined with smaller fixed learning rates (0.01-0.001), yields the highest accuracies, due to temporal redundancy and dense sampling of hemodynamic transitions. However, SI evaluation reveals a substantial drop in accuracy, demonstrating limited generalization to unseen participants. Under SI evaluation, non-overlapping segmentation outperformed overlapping windows, with the best accuracy of 56.11% achieved using PCA features with a 20-second window and a 0.1 learning rate. These findings indicate that eliminating temporal redundancy helps the model learn more robust and generalizable representations of cognitive load across individuals. Although adaptive learning rate strategy improved training stability, it did not surpass the performance of optimally selected fixed learning rates. The study highlights the critical role of segmentation strategy and learning rate selection in improving model generalization and identifies methodological considerations essential for developing reliable, real-time, and SI cognitive load classification systems using fNIRS.
