Introduction
Brain computer interface (BCI) can connect brain and external world by recognizing brain activities and translating it into messages or commands and this process does not depend on normal peripheral nerves and muscles . So how to recognize meaningful brain activities from seemingly meaningless brain electrical signal is a big challenge for BCI field.
In this preliminary study, we take electroencephalography (EEG) and convolutional neural networks (CNN) for example.
However, up to now all the methods to generate artificial EEG signal are based on the combination of the features of raw EEG signal in different trials.
Methodology
Compared with other fields such as computer vision and speech recognition, only very limited number of training samples can be obtained in BCI field, because the subject cannot be asked to perform the same mental task every time for much long time to record brain signal . Fabien Lotte first to generate artificial EEG data by mixing signal segmentation in time domain, and their offline analysis suggested this approach can.
Study Design
To overcome this problem, artificial EEG signal generation methods based on time-frequency representation and analogy method were proposed .
The prior works only considered the temporal features of EEG signal without frequency features, so the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) method was proposed to consider the features in both temporal and frequency domains .

I. Introduction
The introduction discusses the challenges in recognizing brain activities for BCI systems due to limited training data. It highlights the need for improved methods to enhance classification performance, particularly using deep learning models that require substantial data.
A. Preprocessing
Preprocessing involves applying continuous wavelet transform to EEG signals to remove noise and extract relevant frequency components, using the complex Morlet wavelet function.
B. Conditional deep convolutional generative adversarial networks (cDCGAN)
This section describes the structure and functioning of cDCGAN, which utilizes CNNs for both generative and discriminative models in the adversarial training process.

![showed, the whole procedure comprised training part and testing part similar to common processing procedure, but in our proposed method we added data augmentation in training part with limited training data to generate more artificial EEG signal and used this artificial signal as extra training dataset. And to improve the classification accuracy of EEG signal with generated artificial EEG data, the artificial data must have label information. Inspired by the performance of conditional Generative Adversarial Nets (cGAN) and Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks (DCGAN) in computer vision research [16] [17]. We extended the DCGAN to a conditional version with training data labels and generated the labeled artificial EEG signal.](https://pdfdigest.com/wp-content/uploads/nala/output/paper_L8o4NMvfvtUzwKIm_figure_01.png)

To improve the classification accuracy of EEG signal with generated artificial EEG data, the artificial data must have label information. So abovementioned DCGAN is extended to a conditional version with label information, the auxiliary label information ๐ is feed into both generative model ๐บ and discriminative model ๐ท [17]. The loss function is converted into a conditional version as follows: min ๐บ max ๐ท ๐ฟ(๐ท, ๐บ) = ๐ผ ๐ฅ~๐ ๐๐๐ก๐ (๐ฅ) [๐๐๐๐ท(๐ฅ|๐ฆ ๐ง )] + ๐ผ ๐ง~๐ ๐ง (๐ง) [๐๐๐(1 -๐ท(๐บ(๐ง|๐ฆ ๐ )))] ๏จ๏ณ๏ฉ๏ To avoid overfitting problem on finite dataset during training process, generative model and discriminative model are optimized alternately. In our model, we alternately optimize discriminative model ๐ท and generative model ๐บ by two steps and one step respectively. Theoretically, as long as ๐ท and ๐บ are well-designed and trained effectively, the whole adversarial process can reach the Nash equilibrium. Also at this equilibrium, the distribution of artificial data is same as the training data and the artificial data can be seen as real data because the discriminative model cannot distinguish whether it is artificial data or real data. So we use the generative model to generate artificial data from Gaussian noise as extra training data to augment the size of training data.](https://pdfdigest.com/wp-content/uploads/nala/output/paper_L8o4NMvfvtUzwKIm_figure_03.png)
