Cross-Subject Data Splitting for Brain-to-Text Decoding

Recent major milestones have successfully decoded non-invasive brain signals (e.g. functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalogram (EEG)) into natural language. Despite the progress in model design, how to split the datasets for training, validating, and testing still remains a matter of debate. Most of the prior researches applied subject-specific data splitting, where the decoding model is trained and evaluated per subject. Such splitting method poses challenges to the utilization efficiency of dataset as well as the generalization of models. In this study, we propose a cross-subject data splitting criterion for brain-to-text decoding on various types of cognitive dataset (fMRI, EEG), aiming to maximize dataset utilization and improve model generalization. We undertake a comprehensive analysis on existing cross-subject data splitting strategies and prove that all these methods suffer from data leakage, namely the leakage of test data to training set, which significantly leads to overfitting and overestimation of decoding models. The proposed cross-subject splitting method successfully addresses the data leakage problem and we re-evaluate some SOTA brain-to-text decoding models as baselines for further research.
