Perception-Guided EEG Analysis: A Deep Learning Approach Inspired by Level of Detail (LOD) Theory

BG Tong

TL;DR

This study presents a Gestalt-informed, Level of Detail (LOD) inspired framework for EEG-based perceptual state identification and guidance using music rhythm modulation. A CNN extracts spatiotemporal features from a $256\times 4\times 2$ EEG/audio input, with LOD mechanisms (Importance-based weighting, time-series pooling, dynamic context, and SSE) to emphasize salient patterns. A Deep Q-Network (DQN) then governs rhythm adjustments to steer perceptual states, achieving a 94.05% classification accuracy and a 92.45% guidance success rate, respectively, while noting gaps between objective neural patterns and subjective experience. The approach highlights data-efficient perceptual modeling and offers a pathway toward personalized EEG biofeedback therapies, albeit with limitations due to single-subject data and subjectivity in labeling. Future work aims to broaden subjects, enrich musical elements, and refine rewards to improve generalization and user experience.

Abstract

Objective: This study explores a novel deep learning approach for EEG analysis and perceptual state guidance, inspired by Level of Detail (LOD) theory. The goal is to improve perceptual state identification accuracy and advance personalized psychological therapy. Methods: Portable EEG devices and music rhythm signals were used for data collection. LOD theory was applied to dynamically adjust EEG signal processing, extracting core perceptual features. A Unity-based software system integrated EEG data with audio materials. The deep learning model combined a CNN for feature extraction and classification, and a DQN for reinforcement learning to optimize rhythm adjustments. Results: The CNN achieved 94.05% accuracy in perceptual state classification. The DQN guided subjects to target states with a 92.45% success rate, averaging 13.2 rhythm cycles. However, only 50% of users reported psychological alignment with the target state, indicating room for improvement. Discussion: The results validate the potential of LOD-based EEG biofeedback. Limitations include dataset source, label subjectivity, and reward function optimization. Future work will expand to diverse subjects, incorporate varied musical elements, and refine reward functions for better generalization and personalization.
