Abstract

Humans are able to listen to one speaker and disregard others in a speaking crowd, referred to as the "cocktail party effect". EEG-based auditory attention detection (AAD) seeks to identify whom a listener is listening to by decoding one's EEG signals. Recent research has demonstrated that the self-attention mechanism is effective for AAD. In this paper, we present the Recursive Gated Convolutional network (RGCnet) for AAD, which implements long-range and high-order interactions as a self-attention mechanism, while maintaining a low computational cost. The RGCnet expands the 2nd order feature interactions to a higher order to model the complex interactions between EEG features. We evaluate RGCnet on two public datasets and compare it with other AAD models. Our results demonstrate that RGCnet outperforms other comparative models under various conditions, thus potentially improving the control of neuro-steered hearing devices.
