The use of deep learning for electroencephalography (EEG) classification tasks has been rapidly growing in the last years, yet its application has been limited by the relatively small size of EEG datasets. Data augmentation, which consists in artificially increasing the size of the dataset during training, has been a key ingredient to obtain state-of-the-art performances across applications such as computer vision or speech. While a few augmentation transformations for EEG data have been proposed in the literature, their positive impact on performance across tasks remains elusive. In this work, we propose a unified and exhaustive analysis of the main existing EEG augmentations, which are compared in a common experimental setting. Our results highlight the best data augmentations to consider for sleep stage classification and motor imagery brain computer interfaces, showing predictive power improvements greater than 10
