This study introduces a new brain-computer interface (BCI) method that eliminates the need for user-specific calibration. This advancement makes BCIs more accessible and efficient for immediate use by reducing inter-session variability.

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Biomedical Engineering
Machine Learning

Background:

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer direct brain-to-device communication, bypassing neural pathways.
Traditional BCIs require extensive user training, while machine learning BCIs need frequent recalibration due to inter-session variability.
This recalibration makes BCI use time-consuming and error-prone.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a subject-independent BCI that does not require a calibration session before each use.
To reduce inter-session variability in BCI performance.
To enable immediate application of BCIs to new users.

Main Methods:

A novel second-order baselining procedure was developed to minimize variations in brain signals.
The method was validated using a motor-imagery classification task.

The performance was evaluated across 109 subjects.

Main Results:

The proposed subject-independent BCI achieved performance comparable to traditional Common Spatial Patterns (CSP)-based BCIs.
The BCI successfully operated without requiring a pre-use calibration session.
The second-order baselining procedure effectively reduced inter-session variability.

Conclusions:

A subject-independent BCI without calibration is feasible and performs effectively.
The developed baselining procedure significantly reduces BCI calibration needs.
This innovation enhances the practicality and accessibility of BCI technology.
