Abstract

En 中文
Motor imagery EEG decoding often relies on static functional connectivity graphs that cannot capture the dynamic, stage-wise reorganization of brain networks during tasks. This paper aims to develop a graph neural network that explicitly simulates this neurodynamic process to improve decoding and provide computational insights. This paper proposes a Structure-Feature Evolution Graph Attention Network (SFE-GAT). Its inter-layer evolution mechanism dynamically co-adapts graph topology and node features, mimicking functional network reorganization. Initialized with phase-locking value connectivity and spectral features, the model uses a graph autoencoder with Monte Carlo sampling to iteratively refine edges and embeddings. On the BCI Competition IV-2a dataset, SFE-GAT achieved 77.70% (subject-dependent) and 66.59% (subject-independent) accuracy, outperforming baselines. Evolved graphs showed sparsification and strengthening of task-critical connections, indicating hierarchical processing. This paper advances EEG decoding through a dynamic graph architecture, providing a computational framework for studying the hierarchical organization of motor cortex activity and linking adaptive graph learning with neural dynamics.
