I am making a convolutional network model with which I want to classify EEG data. The data is an experiment where participants are evoked with images of 3 different classes with 2 subclasses each. To give a brief explanation about the dataset size, a subclass has ±300 epochs of a given participant (this applies for all the subclasses).
- Object
- Color
- Number
Now my question is: I have 5 participants in my training dataset, I took 15% of each participants' data and put it in the testing dataset. Can I consider the 15% as unseen data even though the same participant was used to train the model on?
Any input is welcome!
