    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Computer Science
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) enable communication and control through brain signals.
    • Motor Imagery (MI) classification is crucial for BCI functionality.
    • Inter-subject variability and BCI inefficiency affect a significant portion of users.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce EEGSym, a novel Deep Learning (DL) architecture for enhanced Motor Imagery (MI) classification in BCIs.
    • To address and overcome inter-subject variability and reduce BCI inefficiency.
    • To improve the state-of-the-art performance in BCI research.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed EEGSym, a convolutional neural network incorporating inception modules and residual connections.
    • Introduced a brain symmetry design (mid-sagittal plane) into the network architecture.
    • Employed data augmentation and transfer learning for improved generalization across datasets.

    Main Results:

    • EEGSym achieved superior inter-subject MI classification accuracy across five public datasets (Physionet, OpenBMI, Kaya2018, Meng2019, Stieger2021).
    • Achieved high user accessibility, enabling 95.7% of subjects to reach effective BCI control (≥70% accuracy).
    • Demonstrated high performance using only 16 electrodes, outperforming existing models like ShallowConvNet and EEGNet.

    Conclusions:

    • EEGSym represents a significant advancement in DL for EEG-based BCIs.
    • The architecture effectively mitigates inter-subject variability, enhancing BCI performance.
    • EEGSym offers a more robust and efficient solution for MI classification, broadening BCI accessibility.
