Background:

Motor imagery (MI) tasks are crucial for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs).
Traditional directed transfer function (DTF) effectively characterizes brain network interactions but struggles with non-stationary MI electroencephalogram (EEG) signals.
MI EEG signals exhibit significant non-stationarity in the frequency domain, with varying alpha and beta band intensities across subjects.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a dynamic DTF (DDTF) method to construct brain functional networks (BFNs) that better capture the non-stationary nature of MI EEG signals.
To utilize network features derived from DDTF's information flows for improved discrimination of MI tasks.
To evaluate the effectiveness of DDTF against existing methods using public and real-world datasets.

Main Methods:

A dynamic DTF (DDTF) approach with variable model order and frequency bands was developed.
Information flows and outflows were calculated from BFNs constructed using DDTF.
Support vector machines (SVM) were employed to classify MI tasks based on the extracted network features.

Main Results:

DDTF successfully reflects the dynamic evolution of BFNs.
Highest recognition rates of 100% and 86% were achieved on a public BCI competition dataset and a real-world dataset, respectively.
The optimal subject-based DDTF was found within specific frequency sub-bands (alpha, beta, gamma1, gamma2) and showed correlation with recent brain states.

Conclusions:

DDTF offers a superior method for analyzing dynamic BFNs in MI tasks compared to Granger causality and traditional feature extraction techniques.
The statistical significance and high consistency of DDTF were confirmed through t-test and Kappa values.
DDTF enhances the performance of BCIs by providing more robust and informative features for MI task discrimination.
