Description
Summary:Most EEG classification algorithms based on steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP-EEG) require filtering for denoising. However, manually set thresholds may inadvertently remove useful information, leading to a loss of significant signal features. Additionally, most deep learning-based SSVEP-EEG classification models have limited global feature extraction capabilities, and the self-attention mechanism in Transformers increases computational costs. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel SSVEP-EEG classification algorithm, SSVEPPoolformer. SSVEPPoolformer integrates an adaptive denoising algorithm with an improved Poolformer algorithm, enhancing both denoising performance and classification accuracy. The adaptive denoising algorithm dynamically adjusts the threshold using a compensation and adaptive adjustment mechanism, effectively filtering noise while retaining critical signal features. The improved Poolformer algorithm replaces the self-attention mechanism with an average pooling operation, reducing computational costs while maintaining performance. It also uses adaptive average pooling to integrate cross-channel feature information and extract global fine-grained features, improving global feature extraction. The SSVEPPoolformer model's efficacy was validated on two public datasets. Experimental results demonstrate that compared with other state-of-the-art methods, SSVEPPoolformer has higher classification accuracy and Information Transfer Rate (ITR) in both intra-class and inter-class recognition scenarios, and has lower computational cost.
