Abstract

The EEG, or Electroencephalogram, is a non-invasive tool that records electrical activity along the scalp, offering a window into the complex workings of the brain. By analyzing these signals, researchers can gain insights into cognitive processes such as attention, memory, and decision-making. This investigation utilizes Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for the classification of EEG signals into numerical digits, tackling the challenge of deciphering cognitive states via non-invasive techniques. The core of the study is the utilization of extensive datasets and sophisticated CNN models to evaluate the performance of consumer-grade EEG headsets in brain activity interpretation. The results showcase high accuracy in numerical cognition identification, demonstrating the robustness of the methods used and suggesting their wider applicability for cognitive state analysis. Overall, the research conducted in the field of EEG-based diagnostics represents a significant milestone in the cognitive technologies industry. Its contributions to the field are numerous and far-reaching, setting a new benchmark for subsequent investigations into this exciting domain. As we continue to explore the potential of EEG technology, we can look forward to a future where cognitive technologies become increasingly personalized, accurate, and effective.
