The paper presents a novel approach to analyzing brain responses related to working memory using electroencephalography (EEG) signals. It proposes a Bayesian structure learning algorithm to estimate functional connectivity of EEG in sensor space, which is then used as input to a graph convolutional network for classifying working memory loads. The proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art classification models, achieving an intrasubject classification accuracy of 96% and average classification accuracy of 89%. Additionally, the study compares the proposed algorithm with other functional connectivity estimation methods through statistical analysis.

The paper uses brain signals to figure out how well someone is doing on memory tasks. It makes a new way to look at these brain signals using special math. Then it uses that information to guess how well someone will do on different memory tasks. The new method works really well, better than other methods people have tried before. It also shows that certain brain waves (alpha and theta) are more important for this task than others (beta).
