Average Rankings Mask Per-Subject Optimality: A Friedman-Nemenyi Benchmark of EEG Motor-Imagery BCI Decoders

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2606. 24394v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) is the dominant non-invasive modality for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), yet reliable decoding of motor imagery is hampered by inter- and intra-individual variability.

FRIST: FMRI Representation Informed Shared-space Training Improves EEG-only Individual-Finger BCI Decoding

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.

Lightweight Adaptation of EEG Foundation Models for Stroke Motor Imagery Decoding: Domain Shift and Subject-Level Robustness

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.

Bayesian Complete-Pooling in Cross-Subject Classification for Motor Imagery Electroencephalogram

arXiv:2607. 22980v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have long sought calibration-free operation, but classifiers are typically benchmarked by discrimination alone, blind to whether predicted probabilities are well calibrated - a meaningful gap given nonstationary electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and the risk of overconfident point-estimate classifiers under distribution shift.
