Abstract
Motor imagery refers to the brain's response during the mental simulation of physical activities, which can be detected through electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. However, EEG signals exhibit a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) due to various artifacts originating from other physiological sources. To enhance the classification performance of motor imagery tasks by increasing the SNR of EEG signals, several signal decomposition approaches have been proposed. Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) has shown promising results in extracting EEG components associated with motor imagery tasks more effectively than traditional linear decomposition algorithms such as Fourier and wavelet methods. Nevertheless, the EMD-based algorithm suffers from a significant challenge known as mode mixing, where frequency components intertwine with the intrinsic mode functions obtained through EMD. This issue severely hampers the accuracy of motor imagery classification. Despite numerous algorithms proposed, mode mixing remains a persistent issue. In this paper, we propose the Deep-EMD algorithm, a deep neural network-based approach to mode mixing problem. We employ two datasets to compare the motor imagery classification and mode mixing improvement achieved by the conventional EMD algorithm. Our experimental results demonstrate that the Deep-EMD algorithm effectively mitigates the mode mixing problem in decomposed EEG components, leading to improved motor imagery classification performance.
