Background:

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer a non-muscular communication pathway for individuals with paralysis.
Reducing the number of electrodes is crucial for enhancing the portability and practicality of BCI systems.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a novel method for optimizing electrode placement in motor imagery-based BCIs.
To reduce the electrode count to four by identifying optimal positions for two bipolar electrodes.

Main Methods:

Independent Component Analysis (ICA) was employed to identify neural sources of mu and alpha rhythms.
Optimal electrode positions were selected based on the projection weights of these identified sources.

Main Results:

The proposed optimal electrode layout demonstrated superior classification performance compared to traditional layouts across eight subjects.
The stability of this optimal configuration was confirmed over a one-week period.

Conclusions:

A four-electrode BCI system using optimized electrode placement can effectively enhance communication for paralyzed individuals.
This approach improves BCI system practicality and portability without compromising performance.
