TinyCNNDeep: Lightweight Attention-Based CNN for EEG Classification of Eye States and Sleep Deprivation (opens in new tab)

Sleep deprivation impairs vigilance and cognitive function, yet jointly identifying the sleep condition (normal vs deprived) and the eye state (open vs closed) from electroencephalography (EEG) remains underexplored. We address this four-class problem with TinyCNNDeep, a lightweight convolutional neural network that combines residual learning with a Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) attention module. We convert short multi-channel EEG segments from fi...
