Abstract

This work presents an image classification approach to EEG brainwave classification. The proposed method is based on the representation of temporal and statistical features as a 2D image, which is then classified using a deep Convolutional Neural Network. A three-class mental state problem is investigated, in which subjects experience either relaxation, concentration, or neutral states. Using publicly available EEG data from a Muse Electroencephalography headband, a large number of features describing the wave are extracted, and subsequently reduced to 256 based on the Information Gain measure. These 256 features are then normalised and reshaped into a 16×16 grid, which can be expressed as a grayscale image. A deep Convolutional Neural Network is then trained on this data in order to classify the mental state of subjects. The proposed method obtained an out-of-sample classification accuracy of 89.38%, which is competitive with the 87.16% of the current best method from a previous work.
