- We developed and used the code behind EEG-TCNet on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS (Bionic Beaver) (64bit).
- The code behind EEG-TCNet is based on Python3, and Anaconda3 is required.
- We used NVidia GTX1080 Ti GPUs to accelerate the training of our models (driver version 396.44). In this case, CUDA and the cuDNN library are needed (we used CUDA 10.1).
Also the dataset 2a of the BCI Competition IV needs to be downloaded and put into the /data folder. It is available on here
Navigate to EEG-TCNet's main folder and create the environment using Anaconda: (We have two environments (one for GPU and one for CPU)) for GPU do:
$ conda env create -f EEG-TCNet-GPU.yml -n EEG-TCNet
For CPU do
$ conda env create -f EEG-TCNet.yml -n EEG-TCNet
We provide the models under /models/EEG-TCNet inside there we have 9 subdirectories /S1 to /S9 each representing each subject. Inside each subdirectory there are 6 files. model.h5 is the saved keras model of variable EEG-TCNet and model_fixed.h5 is the saved keras model of fixed EEG-TCNet. Then there are two pipeline files in each subdirectory which vary depending on if data normalization was used or not. Please refer to Accuracy_and_kappa_scores.ipynb in the main directory to see how these pipelines are produces. There you also find the accuracy score and kappa score verification of EEG-TCNet.
Under /utils you find the data loading and model making files. Then also a small sample of how to train is given with sample_train.py, please note that because of the stochastic nature of training with GPUs it's very hard to fix every random variable in the backend. Therefore to reproduce the same or similar models one might need to train a couple of times in order to get the same highly accurate models we present.
