A deep learning approach for decoding visually imagined digits and letters using time–frequency–spatial representation of EEG signals

作者:

Highlights:

• An EEG-based two-phase approach is proposed for decoding visually imagined objects.

• The approach focuses on decoding visually imagined digits and letters.

• The first phase builds a new time–frequency–spatial representation of EEG signals.

• The second phase presents a new deep learning framework to decode imagined objects.

• The results show that the approach enables accurate decoding of imagined objects.
