contents This study investigates the performance of classifiers across EEG frequency bands, evaluating efficient class prediction for the left and right hemispheres using various optimisers. Three neural network architectures a deep dense network, a shallow three-layer network, and a convolutional neural network (CNN) are implemented and compared using the TensorFlow and PyTorch frameworks. Adagrad and RMSprop optimisers consistently outperformed others across frequency bands, with Adagrad excelling in the beta band and RMSprop achieving superior performance in the gamma band. Classical machine learning methods (Linear SVM and Random Forest) achieved perfect classification with 50--100 times faster training times than deep learning models. However, in neurofeedback simulations with real-time performance requirements, the deep neural network demonstrated superior feedback-signal generation (a 44.7% regulation rate versus 0% for classical methods). SHAP analysis reveals the nuanced contributions of EEG frequency bands to model decisions. Overall, the study highlights the importance of selecting a model dependent on the task: classical methods for efficient offline classification and deep learning for adaptive, real-time neurofeedback applications.
