In this example, we will use only the dataset BNCI2014_001
.
Running the benchmark#
This example uses the CrossSession evaluation procedure. We focus on the dataset BNCI2014_001 and only on 1 subject to reduce computational time.
To keep the computational time low, the epoch is reduced. In a real situation, we suggest using the following: EPOCH = 1000 PATIENCE = 300
This code is implemented to run on the CPU. If you’re using a GPU, do not use multithreading (i.e. set n_jobs=1)
# Set random seed to be able to reproduce results
seed = 42
setup_seed(seed)
# Ensure that all operations are deterministic on GPU (if used) for reproducibility
torch.backends.cudnn.deterministic = True
torch.backends.cudnn.benchmark = False
# Hyperparameter
LEARNING_RATE = 0.0625 * 0.01 # parameter taken from Braindecode
WEIGHT_DECAY = 0 # parameter taken from Braindecode
BATCH_SIZE = 64 # parameter taken from BrainDecode
EPOCH = 10
PATIENCE = 3
fmin = 4
fmax = 100
tmin = 0
tmax = None
# Load the dataset
dataset = BNCI2014_001()
events = ["right_hand", "left_hand"]
paradigm = MotorImagery(
events=events, n_classes=len(events), fmin=fmin, fmax=fmax, tmin=tmin, tmax=tmax
)
subjects = [1]
X, _, _ = paradigm.get_data(dataset=dataset, subjects=subjects)
We try to set the tensorflow seeds, but it seems that tensorflow is not installed. Please refer to `https://www.tensorflow.org/` to install if you need to use this deep learning module.

Create Pipelines#
In order to create a pipeline, we need to load a model from braindecode.
the second step is to define a skorch model using EEGClassifier from braindecode
that allows converting the PyTorch model in a scikit-learn classifier.
Here, we will use the EEGNet v4 model [1] .
This model has mandatory hyperparameters (the number of channels, the number of classes,
and the temporal length of the input) but we do not need to specify them because they will
be set dynamically by EEGClassifier using the input data during the call to the .fit()
method.
# Define a Skorch classifier
clf = EEGClassifier(
module=EEGNetv4,
optimizer=torch.optim.Adam,
optimizer__lr=LEARNING_RATE,
batch_size=BATCH_SIZE,
max_epochs=EPOCH,
train_split=ValidSplit(0.2, random_state=seed),
device=device,
callbacks=[
EarlyStopping(monitor="valid_loss", patience=PATIENCE),
EpochScoring(
scoring="accuracy", on_train=True, name="train_acc", lower_is_better=False
),
EpochScoring(
scoring="accuracy", on_train=False, name="valid_acc", lower_is_better=False
),
],
verbose=1, # Not printing the results for each epoch
)
# Create the pipelines
pipes = {}
pipes["EEGNetV4"] = make_pipeline(clf)
Evaluation#
dataset.subject_list = dataset.subject_list[:2]
evaluation = CrossSessionEvaluation(
paradigm=paradigm,
datasets=dataset,
suffix="braindecode_example",
overwrite=True,
return_epochs=True,
n_jobs=1,
)
results = evaluation.process(pipes)
print(results.head())
