Biosignal analysis technology, which infers human internal and external states non-invasively, is gaining attention as a core technology in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In this study, we propose deep learning-based modeling techniques to precisely recognize user's eye movement intentions and emotional states using Electrooculography (EOG) and Electroencephalography (EEG), and verify their effectiveness.
First, for EOG-based eye movement classification, we constructed a high-resolution dataset in a controlled laboratory environment and a Polysomnography (PSG) dataset in a real clinical environment. We proposed a hybrid model combining Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to simultaneously learn spatial features and temporal contexts of time-series signals. Experimental results showed that the proposed model achieved a high accuracy of 99.63% in the laboratory environment, confirming the feasibility of precise interface implementation. However, performance degradation was observed in cross-domain evaluation on clinical data, experimentally demonstrating that domain adaptation techniques are essential for future real-world applications.
Second, for EEG-based emotion recognition, we proposed an attention-based neural network model that effectively reflects the characteristics of each EEG frequency band. To overcome the limitation of existing models that consider the importance of frequency bands equally, we introduced a single-head self-attention mechanism that self-learns band-wise interactions. Experimental results on benchmark datasets SEED and SEED-IV showed that the proposed model achieved accuracies of 93.48% and 82.22%, respectively, outperforming state-of-the-art methods. In particular, by demonstrating excellent classification performance even on the SEED-IV dataset with fine-grained emotion classes, we confirmed that the proposed attention technique effectively captures EEG patterns of complex emotional states.
This study demonstrated that deep learning technology can significantly improve the accuracy of biosignal recognition, while also presenting the domain gap problem that may occur in real-world applications and directions for solving it. The results of this study are expected to be utilized as core foundational technologies for the implementation of high-precision BCI systems and intelligent healthcare services in the future.
