The paper introduces a personalised federated learning approach for EEG decoding, applying it to both a Riemannian SPDNet and a Euclidean EEGNet. In this scheme, all subjects share a common trunk that learns a latent representation, while each subject retains a private head for classification, thereby addressing inter‑subject variability. Experiments on three motor‑imagery datasets show that personalised SPDNet outperforms standard federated learning and centralised training, converges faster, and communicates fewer parameters, and it also surpasses all EEGNet variants on two of the datasets.

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.
