Geometry-Aware Deep Congruence Networks for Manifold Learning in Cross-Subject Motor Imagery

arXiv:2511.18940v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Cross-subject motor imagery decoding remains a fundamental challenge in EEG-based brain-computer interfaces due to substantial inter-subject variability. Recent approaches have leveraged Riemannian geometry by representing EEG signals as covariance matrices on the symmetric positive definite (SPD) manifold. However, existing methods primarily focus on manifold-based representations while largely overlooking subject-specific variations in covariance dispersion and orientation. In this work, we address these challenges through geometry-aware co
