braindecode.augmentation.functional.mask_encoding(X, y, time_start, segment_length, n_segments)[source]#

Mark encoding from Ding et al. (2024) from [ding2024].

Replaces a contiguous part (or parts) of all channels by zeros (if more than one segment, it may overlap).

Implementation based on [ding2024]

Parameters:
  • X (torch.Tensor) – EEG input example or batch.

  • y (torch.Tensor) – EEG labels for the example or batch.

  • time_start (torch.Tensor) – Tensor of integers containing the position (in last dimension) where to start masking the signal. Should have “n_segments” times the size of the first dimension of X (i.e. “n_segments” start positions per example in the batch).

  • segment_length (int) – Length of each segment to zero out.

  • n_segments (int) – Number of segments to zero out in each example.

Returns:

  • torch.Tensor – Transformed inputs.

  • torch.Tensor – Transformed labels.
