Decoding upper-limb movements from scalp electroencephalography (EEG) is an important problem for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), but many deep learning models provide limited insight into the brain regions underlying their predictions. We propose a two-branch architecture that combines an LGGNet-inspired local-global graph branch with an EEGNet-style convolutional branch for movement-versus-rest classification. The graph branch groups 61 EEG electrodes into anatomically informed regions and learns their spatial relationships, providing a direct representation of the regions emphasized by the model. We evaluate the proposed architecture using leave-one-subject-out cross-validation on the Ofner upper-limb movement dataset. The model achieves a mean F1-score of 0.74 +/- 0.06 across subjects. Beyond classification performance, we analyze the learned graph structure to identify the regions with the strongest connectivity. Across all held-out subjects, the highest connectivity is consistently observed in the Parietal Left Low region, corresponding to electrodes P1 and P3. This region is opposite to the performed right-arm movements and lies within the posterior parietal area previously associated with upper-limb movement processing. These results show that incorporating a region-based graph into the decoder can provide an anatomically interpretable representation while maintaining effective movement classification, offering a practical approach toward more transparent EEG-based BCIs.
