ERP-XTTN: Interpretable Prototype-Guided Cross-Attention for Cross-Subject ERP Classification
arXiv:2606.02939v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Interpretable brain-computer interface classifiers that generalize across subjects without calibration remain an open challenge. We test whether prototype-based cross-attention can provide competitive, interpretable event-related potential (ERP) classification under deployment-compatible conditions. We propose ERP-XTTN, a cross-attention architecture that routes input EEG patches to fixed difference-wave prototypes via query-key-only cross-attention with no value projection, so classification depends entirely on attention routing and attention fa
Ongoing research in neurotechnology and AI is continuously seeking more robust and interpretable solutions for brain-computer interfaces, pushing the boundaries of cross-subject generalization.
This development could significantly advance the practical application of BCI, especially in areas requiring reliable performance without extensive individual calibration, such as medical diagnostics or assistive technologies.
The interpretability and cross-subject generalization capabilities of ERP classification algorithms are improved, potentially leading to more widespread and accessible BCI applications.
