Abstract
This study investigates the impact of various data-augmentation techniques on the performance of neural networks in EEG-based motor imagery three-class event classification. EEG data were obtained from a publicly available open-source database, and a subset of 25 patients was selected for analysis. The classification task focused on detecting two types of motor events: imagined movements of the left hand and imagined movements of the right hand. EEGNet, a convolutional neural network architecture optimized for EEG signal processing, was employed for classification. A comprehensive set of augmentation techniques was evaluated, including five time-domain transformations, three frequency-domain transformations, two spatial-domain transformations and two generative approaches. Each method was tested individually, as well as in selected two- and three-method cascade combinations. The…
