In recent years, a number of subject-independent (SI) BCIs have been developed. Many of these methods yield a weaker performance compared to the subject-dependent (SD) approach, and some are computationally expensive. A potential real-world application would greatly benefit from a more accurate, compact, and computationally efficient subject-independent BCI. In this work, we propose a novel subject-independent BCI framework, named CCSPNet (Convolutional Common Spatial Pattern Network) that is trained on the motor imagery (MI) paradigm of a large-scale electroencephalography (EEG) signals database consisting of 400 trials for every 54 subjects who perform two-class hand-movement MI tasks. The proposed framework applies a wavelet kernel convolutional neural network (WKCNN) and a temporal convolutional neural network (TCNN) in order to represent and extract the spectral features of EEG signals. A common spatial pattern (CSP) algorithm is implemented for spatial feature extraction, and the number of CSP features is reduced by a dense neural network. Finally, the class label is determined by a linear discriminant analysis (LDA) classifier. The CCSPNet evaluation results show that it is possible to have a compact BCI that achieves both SD and SI state-of-the-art performance comparable to complex and computationally expensive models.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.13567v7","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2012.13567v7.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"toward-real-world-bci-ccspnet-a-compact","repo_url":"https://github.com/Singular-Brain/CCSPNet","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"brain-computer-interface","task_name":"Brain Computer Interface"},{"task_slug":"eeg-1","task_name":"EEG"},{"task_slug":"edge-computing","task_name":"Edge-computing"},{"task_slug":"eeg","task_name":"Electroencephalogram (EEG)"},{"task_slug":"motor-imagery","task_name":"Motor Imagery"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"lda","method_name":"LDA"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
