A Sliced-Wasserstein Framework on Correlation Matrices for EEG Decoding

arXiv:2606.06104v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electroencephalography (EEG) offers noninvasive, millisecond resolution recordings of neuronal activity and is widely used in neuroscience and healthcare. Many EEG decoding pipelines rely on covariance descriptors for their robustness to noise, but such representations are sensitive to channel-wise scaling. Recent studies have therefore advocated full-rank correlation matrices as a scale-invariant alternative for EEG decoding. In this paper, we propose a general framework for Sliced Wasserstein (SW) discrepancies on manifolds endowed with Pullbac

Why this matters
