# BDTCN

Braindecode TCN from Gemein, L et al (2020) [gemein2020].

> **Architecture-only repository.** Documents the
> `braindecode.models.BDTCN` class. **No pretrained weights are
> distributed here.** Instantiate the model and train it on your own
> data.

## Quick start

```bash
pip install braindecode
```

```python
from braindecode.models import BDTCN

model = BDTCN(
    n_chans=22,
    sfreq=250,
    input_window_seconds=4.0,
    n_outputs=4,
)
```

The signal-shape arguments above are illustrative defaults — adjust to
match your recording.

## Architecture

![BDTCN architecture](https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S1053811920305073-gr3_lrg.jpg)


## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `n_filters: int` | — | number of output filters of each convolution |
| `n_blocks: int` | — | number of temporal blocks in the network |
| `kernel_size: int` | — | kernel size of the convolutions |
| `drop_prob: float` | — | dropout probability |
| `activation: nn.Module, default=nn.ReLU` | — | Activation function class to apply. Should be a PyTorch activation module class like `nn.ReLU` or `nn.ELU`. Default is `nn.ReLU`. |
