Routing on the Stiefel Manifold: When Does Adaptive Subspace Selection Help for Cross-Domain EEG Decoding?
arXiv:2605.31043v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cross-domain EEG decoding remains challenging despite advances in Riemannian deep learning: covariance matrices from different subjects occupy systematically distinct regions of the SPD manifold, yet existing domain adaptation methods either require target-domain calibration data or learn subject-specific components that cannot generalise across domains. We propose dynamic Stiefel routing: a pool of $K$ expert projection filters on the Stiefel manifold, each specialised for a different region of the SPD manifold, with each input covariance rout
This research is published as AI development in neural decoding continues to advance, pushing the boundaries of what is possible with brain-computer interfaces and robust cross-domain solutions.
This development is crucial for applications that require reliable EEG decoding across different individuals and conditions without extensive recalibration, such as medical diagnostics, assistive technologies, and potentially neuro-control systems.
The proposed dynamic Stiefel routing allows for more generalized and adaptable EEG decoding, reducing the need for extensive subject-specific calibration data and making brain-computer interfaces more practical for real-world deployment.
