Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The application of transfer learning, specifically pre-training and fine-tuning, in steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) has been demonstrated to effectively improve the classification performance of deep learning methods with limited calibration data. However, effectively learning task-related knowledge from source domains during the pre-training phase remains challenging. To address this issue, this study proposes an effective data augmentation method called Reconstruction of Channel Correlation (RCC) to optimize the utilization of the source domain data.
