Transferring Spatial Filters via Tangent Space Alignment in Motor Imagery BCIs

Abstract

We propose a method to improve subject transfer in motor imagery BCIs by aligning covariance matrices on a Riemannian manifold, followed by computing a new common spatial patterns (CSP) based spatial filter. We explore various ways to integrate information from multiple subjects and show improved performance compared to standard CSP. Across three datasets, our method shows marginal improvements over standard CSP; however, when training data are limited, the improvements become more significant.
