Abstract

Classifying EEG responses to naturalistic acoustic stimuli is of theoretical and practical importance, but standard approaches are limited by processing individual channels separately on very short sound segments (a few seconds or less). Recent developments have shown classification for music stimuli (~2 mins) by extracting spectral components from EEG and using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). This paper proposes an efficient method to map raw EEG signals to individual songs listened for end-to-end classification. EEG channels are treated as a dimension of a [Channel x Sample] image tile, and images are classified using CNNs. Our experimental results (88.7%) compete with state-of-the-art methods (85.0%), yet our classification task is more challenging by processing longer stimuli that were similar to each other in perceptual quality, and were unfamiliar to participants. We also adopt a transfer learning scheme using a pre-trained ResNet-50, confirming the effectiveness of transfer learning despite image domains unrelated from each other.
