• Abstract summary: The inter/intra-subject variability of electroencephalography (EEG) makes the practical use of the brain-computer interface (BCI) difficult. We propose a BCI framework using only high-confidence subjects for TL training. In our framework, a deep neural network selects useful subjects for the TL process and excludes noisy subjects, using a co-teaching algorithm based on the small-loss trick.

• Abstract: The inter/intra-subject variability of electroencephalography (EEG) makes the practical use of the brain-computer interface (BCI) difficult. In general, the BCI system requires a calibration procedure to tune the model every time the system is used. This problem is recognized as a major obstacle to BCI, and to overcome it, approaches based on transfer learning (TL) have recently emerged. However, many BCI paradigms are limited in that they consist of a structure that shows labels first and then measures "imagery", the negative effects of source subjects containing data that do not contain control signals have been ignored in many cases of the subject-to-subject TL process. The main purpose of this paper is to propose a method of excluding subjects that are expected to have a negative impact on subject-to-subject TL training, which generally uses data from as many subjects as possible. In this paper, we proposed a BCI framework using only high-confidence subjects for TL training. In our framework, a deep neural network selects useful subjects for the TL process and excludes noisy subjects, using a co-teaching algorithm based on the small-loss trick. We experimented with leave-one-subject-out validation on two public datasets (2020 international BCI competition track 4 and OpenBMI dataset). Our experimental results showed that confidence-aware TL, which selects subjects with small loss instances, improves the generalization performance of BCI.

  Cross-Domain Few-Shot Learning methods require access to source domain data to train a model in the pre-training phase. Due to increasing concerns about data privacy and the desire to reduce data transmission and training costs, it is necessary to develop a CDFSL solution without accessing source data. This paper proposes an Enhanced Information Maximization with Distance-Aware Contrastive Learning method to address these challenges.

  We propose a semi-supervised meta learning (S) method for subject-transfer learning in BCIs.

It is significant for BCI applications where the labeled data are scarce or expensive while unlabeled data are readily available.

  A conventional brain-computer interface (BCI) requires a complete data gathering, training, and calibration phase for each user before it can be used. We propose a novel subject-independent BCI framework named CCSPNet that is trained on the motor imagery (MI) paradigm of a large-scale EEG signals database. The proposed framework applies a wavelet kernel convolutional neural network (WKCNN) and a temporal convolutional neural network (TCNN) in order to represent and extract the diverse spectral features of EEG signals.
