• Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) plays a significant role in the Brain Computer Interface (BCI) domain, due to its non-invasive nature, low cost, and ease of use, making it a highly desirable option for widespread adoption by the general public. This technology is commonly used in conjunction with deep learning techniques, the success of which is largely dependent on the quality and quantity of data used for training. To address the challenge of obtaining sufficient EEG data from individual participants while minimizing user effort and maintaining accuracy, this study proposes an advanced methodology for data augmentation: generating synthetic EEG data using denoising diffusion probabilistic models. The synthetic data are generated from electrode-frequency distribution maps (EFDMs) of emotionally labeled EEG recordings. To assess the validity of the synthetic data generated, both a qualitative and a quantitative comparison with real EEG data were successfully conducted. This study opens up the possibility for an open\textendash source accessible and versatile toolbox that can process and generate data in both time and frequency dimensions, regardless of the number of channels involved. Finally, the proposed methodology has potential implications for the broader field of neuroscience research by enabling the creation of large, publicly available synthetic EEG datasets without privacy concerns.

  We propose a dataset refinement algorithm to eliminate noisy data from EEG datasets. The proposed algorithm consistently led to better generalization performance compared to using the original dataset. We conclude that removing noisy data from the training dataset alone can effectively improve the generalization performance of deep learning models in the EEG domain.

  EHRs are a pivotal data source that enables numerous applications in computational medicine, e.g., disease progression prediction, clinical trial design, and health economics and outcomes research. Despite wide usability, their sensitive nature raises privacy and confidentially concerns, which limit potential use cases.
