A generalized zero-shot learning scheme for SSVEP classification is proposed. The target classes are divided into seen and unseen classes, and the classifier is trained only using the seen classes. The EEG data and sine waves are embedded into the same latent space using convolutional neural networks, and the correlation coefficient of the two outputs in the latent space is used for classification. The proposed method achieves high accuracy on both seen and unseen classes, showing promise for building an SSVEP classification system without the need for training data of all targets.
The steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) has been widely used in building multi-target brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) based on electroencephalogram (EEG). However, methods for high-accuracy SSVEP systems require training data for each target, which needs significant calibration time. This study aimed to use the data of only part of the targets for training while achieving high classification accuracy on all targets. In this work, we proposed a generalized zero-shot learning (GZSL) scheme for SSVEP classification. We divided the target classes into seen and unseen classes and trained the classifier only using the seen classes. During the test time, the search space contained both seen classes and unseen classes. In the proposed scheme, the EEG data and the sine waves are embedded into the same latent space using convolutional neural networks (CNN). We use the correlation coefficient of the two outputs in the latent space for classification. Our method was tested on two public datasets and reached 89.9% of the classification accuracy of the state-of-the-art (SOTA) data-driven method, which needs the training data of all targets. Compared to the SOTA training-free method, our method achieved a multifold improvement. This work shows that it is promising to build an SSVEP classification system that does not need the training data of all targets.
