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
This research builds on recent advancements in Riemannian geometry for EEG analysis, pushing the boundaries of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, an area seeing rapid innovation.
Improving cross-subject motor imagery decoding is crucial for practical, user-independent BCI applications, impacting assistive technologies and cognitive enhancement.
The proposed 'Geometry-Aware Deep Congruence Networks' offer a more robust method for handling inter-subject variability in BCI, potentially making these systems more reliable and widely applicable.
