Abstract:

Assessing the operator's cognitive workload status in a human-machine system based on EEG signals can effectively prevent the operator's performance from degrading. This study proposes a novel inter-subject CW classifier, E-SDAE, to adapt the variations of the EEG feature distributions across multiple subjects. The E-SDAE includes two cascade-connected modules: high level personalized feature abstractions and decision fusion. The feature filters employ the base learner SDAE to abstract the EEG features from a group of individuals. The supervised CW classifier exploites the random characteristics of ELM to fuse the filtered EEG abstractions under the implementation of Q-statistics. The classification rate achieves 0.635 3 and 0.674 7 for Task 1 and Task 2, respectively, and are significantly better than several conventional CW estimators. The time complexity calculation results show that the computational workload of the E-SDAE is also acceptable for high-dimensional EEG features.
