With the advancement of artificial intelligence technology, more and more effective methods are being used to identify and classify Electroencephalography (EEG) signals to address challenges in healthcare and brain-computer interface fields. The applications and major achievements of Graph Convolution Network (GCN) techniques in EEG signal analysis are reviewed in this paper. Through an exhaustive search of the published literature, a module-by-module discussion is carried out for the first time to address the current research status of GCN. An exhaustive classification of methods and a systematic analysis of key modules, such as brain map construction, node feature extraction, and GCN architecture design, are presented. In addition, we pay special attention to several key research issues related to GCN. This review enhances the understanding of the future potential of GCN in the field of EEG signal analysis. At the same time, several valuable development directions are sorted out for researchers in related fields, such as analysing the applicability of different GCN layers, building task-oriented GCN models, and improving adaptation to limited data.
随着人工智能技术的进步,越来越多有效的方法被用于识别和分类脑电图(EEG)信号,以应对医疗保健和脑机接口领域的挑战。本文综述了图卷积网络(GCN)技术在EEG信号分析中的应用和主要成果。通过对已发表文献的详尽搜索,首次逐模块地讨论了GCN的当前研究现状。给出了方法的详尽分类以及对关键模块(如脑图谱构建、节点特征提取和GCN架构设计)的系统分析。此外,我们特别关注与GCN相关的几个关键研究问题。本综述增进了对GCN在EEG信号分析领域未来潜力的理解。同时,为相关领域的研究人员梳理了几个有价值的发展方向,如分析不同GCN层的适用性、构建面向任务的GCN模型以及提高对有限数据的适应性。
