Decoding continuous three-dimensional (3D) motor imagery (MI) using non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain--computer interfaces (BCIs) remains challenging due to signal variability and residual decoding errors. Deep learning architectures such as convolutional neural network--long short-term memory (CNN--LSTM) models can capture spatial and temporal dynamics for continuous kinematic decoding; however, systematic residual errors persist in predicted trajectories.

The paper introduces FRIST, a two‑stage EEG decoding framework that uses fMRI data to learn spectral projections and class geometry, then refines EEG predictions. In experiments with 12 participants, FRIST improves finger‑level motor decoding accuracy across both movement execution and motor imagery tasks, outperforming EEG‑only baselines and generalizing across different EEG backbones. The method demonstrates that fMRI’s spatial resolution can enhance noninvasive EEG‑based BCI performance.

Motor imagery (MI) brain--computer interfaces (BCIs) have emerged as a promising approach for establishing flexible communication pathways between the human brain and external devices , particularly for individuals affected by stroke or neurodegenerative disorders. Reliable decoding of motor-imagery electroencephalography (MI-EEG) remains challenging because EEG recordings contain substantial noise and exhibit complex, weakly informative relationships with the underlying brain activity.
The study investigates whether Low‑Rank Adaptation (LoRA) can adapt three pretrained EEG foundation models—LaBraM‑base, REVE‑base, and REVE‑large—for binary left‑ vs. right‑hand motor imagery decoding in stroke patients. Using subject‑wise five‑fold cross‑validation on the PhysioNet EEG Motor Movement/Imagery Dataset and a binary subset of the UET175 stroke dataset, LoRA significantly improved accuracy for LaBraM‑base (0.822) and REVE‑base (0.957) on the healthy cohort, but only REVE‑base LoRA achieved high performance (0.847±0.194) on stroke data, with a best mean accuracy of 0.952 in leave‑one‑subject‑out evaluation. The results demonstrate that healthy‑benchmark performance does not guarantee transfer to stroke EEG, highlighting the need for target‑domain adaptation and subject‑level assessment in rehabilitation BCIs.
