• Abstract: Speech decoding from EEG signals is a challenging task, where brain activity is modeled to estimate salient characteristics of acoustic stimuli. We propose FESDE, a novel framework for Fully-End-to-end Speech Decoding from EEG signals. Our approach aims to directly reconstruct listened speech waveforms given EEG signals, where no intermediate acoustic feature processing step is required. The proposed method consists of an EEG module and a speech module along with a connector. The EEG module learns to better represent EEG signals, while the speech module generates speech waveforms from model representations. The connector learns to bridge the distributions of the latent spaces of EEG and speech. The proposed framework is both simple and efficient, by allowing single-step inference, and outperforms prior works on objective metrics. A fine-grained phoneme analysis is conducted to unveil model characteristics of speech decoding. The source code is available here: github.com/lee-jhwn/fesde.

  For tasks such as text-to-speech (TTS), voice conversion (VC), and automatic speech recognition (ASR), a cross-modal fine-grained (frame-level) sequence representation is desired. We propose a method called Quantized Contrastive Token-Acoustic Pre-training (VQ-CTAP), which uses the cross-modal sequence transcoder to bring text and speech into a joint space.

  We propose the use of discrete speech units (DSU) instead of continuous-valued speech encoder outputs. The proposed model shows robust performance on speech inputs from seen/unseen domains and instruction-following capability in spoken question answering. Our findings suggest that the ASR task and datasets are not crucial in instruction-tuning for spoken question answering tasks.
