• Abstract summary: We propose an approach to disguise the identity information in EEG signals with dummy identities. The identity information in original EEGs are transformed into disguised ones with a CycleGANbased EEG disguising model. With the constraints added to the model, the features of interest in EEG signals can be preserved.

• Abstract: There is a need to protect the personal identity information in public EEG datasets. However, it is challenging to remove such information that has infinite classes (open set). We propose an approach to disguise the identity information in EEG signals with dummy identities, while preserving the key features. The dummy identities are obtained by applying grand average on EEG spectrums across the subjects within a group that have common attributes. The personal identity information in original EEGs are transformed into disguised ones with a CycleGANbased EEG disguising model. With the constraints added to the model, the features of interest in EEG signals can be preserved. We evaluate the model by performing classification tasks on both the original and the disguised EEG and compare the results. For evaluation, we also experiment with ResNet classifiers, which perform well especially on the identity recognition task with an accuracy of 98.4%. The results show that our EEG disguising model can hide about 90% of personal identity information and can preserve most of the other key features.

By comparing the difference between synthesized neutral and expressional images of the same individual, the expression component is further disentangled from identity and pose.
