This study introduces a novel real-time motor imagery brain-computer interface (BCI) using dry electrodes and continual learning. The system adapts to changing brain signals, improving accuracy for practical neurotechnology applications.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Machine Learning
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Motor imagery (MI)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer intuitive neural interaction but face challenges like long calibration, user variability, and non-stationary EEG signals.
  • Dry-electrode EEG enhances convenience but yields noisier signals, complicating real-time, multi-class MI decoding.
  • Existing methods struggle with continuous signal drift, limiting long-term BCI performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a robust real-time four-class MI-BCI framework utilizing dry electrodes.
  • To address the challenges of signal non-stationarity and calibration requirements through continual learning.
  • To enhance the practical deployment and sustainability of MI-BCIs in intelligent neurotechnology.

  • A hybrid CNN-Transformer model was employed for MI decoding.
  • Immersive action observation (AO) in virtual reality was used for pre-training the model.
  • An online continual learning strategy adapted the model to evolving dry-EEG features during user interaction.

Main Results:

  • The proposed framework demonstrated improved decoding accuracy for four motor classes in real-time.
  • The system showed strengthened sensorimotor activation over time, indicating effective adaptation.
  • The continual learning approach successfully mitigated performance degradation in extended MI-BCI sessions.

Conclusions:

  • The integration of AO and continual learning with a CNN-Transformer model enhances MI-BCI robustness, especially with dry electrodes.
  • The framework effectively manages signal drift and reduces calibration burden, enabling user-specific and session-to-session adaptation.
  • This approach supports sustainable long-term deployment of MI-BCIs for rehabilitation and intelligent neurotechnology.
