EEG based Parkinson Detection through Supervised Information Enhanced Contrastive Learning

This study presents a novel Supervised Information Enhanced Contrastive Learning Algorithm for Parkinson's Disease Detection (SI-CLAPD) based on Electroencephalography (EEG). SI-CLAPD performs contrastive learning in a multi-granularity manner on enhanced contextual views to achieve robust contextual representations for EEG, thus could contribute to improving the effectiveness of PD detection. Unlike existing methods for constructing PD detection models guided solely by classification loss, we propose a joint learning model that combines self-supervised contrastive learning with supervised classification learning. This model is optimized using both contrastive loss and classification loss, allowing it to capture subtle differences between EEG signals and representations that are specific to PD detection. Through extensive experimental evaluations, we demonstrate that SI-CLAPD achieves robust and high accuracy in PD detection tasks on three benchmark datasets. To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the first effort in validating the effectiveness of contrastive learning for the detection of PD. Besides, within the realm of contrastive learning research in EEG, it also represents the first endeavor to fuse supervised learning with self-supervised contrastive learning for EEG classification. This investigation unveils an universally applicable approach to EEG signal processing, with the potential to confer advantages to a multitude of EEG classification tasks.
