• Abstract: Motor imagery (MI) brain--computer interfaces (BCIs) have emerged as a promising approach for establishing flexible communication pathways between the human brain and external devices , particularly for individuals affected by stroke or neurodegenerative disorders. Reliable decoding of motor-imagery electroencephalography (MI-EEG) remains challenging because EEG recordings contain substantial noise and exhibit complex, weakly informative relationships with the underlying brain activity. Although deep learning provides an effective means of learning representations directly from EEG signals, its application to MI-EEG feature learning remains comparatively limited. This study introduces a hybrid deep-learning architecture that integrates a convolutional neural network (CNN) with a bidirectional long short-term memory (bi-LSTM) network. The CNN is used to learn high-level spatial and temporal representations directly from raw MI-EEG recordings, whereas the bi-LSTM models temporal dependencies and relationships among the extracted features. The proposed approach is evaluated using both a publicly available dataset and a privately acquired dataset obtained with an EEG acquisition system. The experimental results indicate that the CNN\&bi-LSTM architecture provides robust performance for both two- and three-class motor-imagery classification and demonstrates promising subject-independent decoding capability across the evaluated methods.
