Abstract

Brain-computer interfaces are a promising technology for applications ranging from rehabilitation to video-games. A common problem for these systems is the ability to classify correctly signals corresponding to different subjects, as a consequence these systems are trained individually for each person. In this paper several classification methods, along with regularization methods, are compared, to establish a baseline for common datasets in the motor imagery paradigm for intra-subject classification and measure how they influence inter-subject classification.
