Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Motor imagery-based brain-computer interfaces (MI-BCIs) have been playing an increasingly vital role in neural rehabilitation. However, the long-term task-based calibration required for enhanced model performance leads to an unfriendly user experience, while the inadequacy of EEG data hinders the performance of deep learning models. To address these challenges, a task-free transfer learning strategy (TFTL) for EEG-based cross-subject & cross-dataset MI-BCI is proposed for calibration time reduction and multi-center data co-modeling.
