用个性化编码器提升脑电跨人识别效果,避免数据分布差异干扰。
Learning aligned EEG representations with subject-specific encoders

- 为每人配备专属编码器,让模型自动对齐个体脑电信号特征。
- 在4个运动想象数据集上,性能优于共享编码器基线模型。
- 适合需要高精度跨人脑电解码的研究者,如脑机接口开发。
跨被试脑电解码可获得更多训练数据,但也带来显著的个体间分布差异。本文探究仅靠任务监督与网络结构能否学习到个体对齐的表示。将共享的脑电编码器替换为个体专用编码器,再接一个公共分类器,与EEGNet、AttentionBaseNet和CTNet等基线模型结合欧氏对齐(EA)方法在4个运动想象数据集上对比。尽管EA通过重置个体协方差提升了共享编码器表现,但混合架构几乎内化了这一功能:移除EA后验证损失曲线与潜在空间距离分析变化极小。个体专用头部增强了类别区分度,并使每位被试靠近其自身潜在流形,整体提升多数被试性能,但仍有部分敏感子集表现依赖方法选择。结果表明,个体专用编码器可作为脑电解码中一种学习型对齐机制,而对未见被试的头部选择仍是主要瓶颈。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Cross-subject EEG decoding promises more training data, but it also exposes neural networks to strong inter-subject distribution shifts. We study whether task supervision and architecture alone can learn subject-aligned representations. We replace a shared EEG encoder with subject-specific encoders followed by a common classifier, and compare this hybrid model with standard EEGNet, AttentionBaseNet, and CTNet baselines with Euclidean Alignment (EA) on four motor-imagery datasets. EA improves shared encoders by recentering subject covariances, but the hybrid encoder largely internalises this role: validation-loss curves and latent-distance analyses change little when EA is removed. Subject-specific heads increase class distinctiveness and place each subject close to its own latent manifold, improving most subjects while leaving a method-sensitive subset. These results support subject-specific encoders as a learned alignment mechanism for EEG decoding and identify head selection for unseen subjects as the remaining bottleneck.
