Attention Zhang et al., 2018a Motor imagery Designed a self-attention module to find more class-discriminative segments
Zhang et al., 2019a Designed a recurrent self-attention module
Zhang et al., 2020a Presented raw EEG to a spatial graph and designed a recurrent self-attention module
Zhang et al., 2019b Presented raw EEG to a spatial graph and designed two attention modules; one for attentive temporal dynamics and the other for attentive channels
Multi-scale features Kwon et al., 2019 Extracted spatio-spectral features in multi-frequency bands using CSP and selected top bands to use them as inputs
Ko et al., 2020a Multi Extracted multi-scale features including spatio-temporal-spectral patterns
Maximize mutual information Jeon et al., 2020 Motor imagery Decomposed an intermediate feature into a class-relevant and class-irrelevant feature and maximized mutual information between low-level and high-level representations
Meta-learning MAML (Finn et al., 2017) Duan et al., 2020 Multi Trained optimal parameters through gradient-based optimization and conducted fine-tuning with a small amount of target data
Relation (Sung et al., 2018) An et al., 2020 Motor imagery Estimated relation scores between support and query sets among source subjects in few-shot scenarios
