Abstract: Accurate and efficient analysis of Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is crucial for applications like neurological diagnosis and Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI). Traditional methods often fall short in capturing the intricate temporal dynamics inherent in EEG data. This paper explores the use of Convolutional Spiking Neural Networks (CSNNs) to enhance EEG signal classification. We apply Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) for feature extraction and evaluate CSNN performance on the Physionet EEG dataset, benchmarking it against traditional deep learning and machine learning methods. The findings indicate that CSNNs achieve high accuracy, reaching 98.75% in 10-fold cross-validation, and an impressive F1 score of 98.60%. Notably, this F1-score represents an improvement over previous benchmarks, highlighting the effectiveness of our approach. Along with offering advantages in temporal precision and energy efficiency, CSNNs emerge as a promising solution for next-generation EEG analysis systems.
