Classification of motor imagery and execution signals with population-level feature sets: implications for probe design in fNIRS based BCI

By demonstrating the feasibility of generating a population level training set with a high classification performance for three different classification algorithms, the findings pave the path for removing the necessity to acquire subject specific training data and hold promise for a novel, real-time fNIRS based BCI system design which will be most effective for application to disease populations for whom obtaining data to train a classification algorithm is not possible.
