Overview

We design a unified deep learning framework that leverages recurrent convolutional neural network to capture spatial dependencies of raw EEG signals based on features extracted by convolutional operations and temporal correlations through RNN architecture, respectively. Moreover, an Autoencoder layer is fused to cope with the possible incomplete and corrupted EEG signals to enhance the robustness of EEG classification.

We also present an operational prototype of a brain typing system based on our proposed model, which demonstrates the efficacy and practicality of our approach. A video demonstrating the system is made available.
