In recent years, motor imagery-based BCIs (MI-BCIs) controlled various external devices successfully, which have great potential in neurological rehabilitation. In this paper, we designed a paradigm of sequential finger movements and utilized spatial filters for feature extraction to classify single-trial electroencephalography (EEG) induced by finger movements of left and right hand. Ten healthy subjects participated the experiment. The analysis of EEG patterns showed significant contralateral dominance. We investigated how data length affected the classification accuracy. The classification accuracy was improved with the increase of the keystrokes in one trial, and the results were 87.42%, 91.21%, 93.08% and 93.59% corresponding to single keystroke, two keystrokes, three keystrokes and four keystrokes. This study would be helpful to improve the decoding efficiency and optimize the encoding method of motor-related EEG information.
