Avoidance of specific calibration sessions in motor intention recognition for exoskeleton-supported rehabilitation through transfer learning on EEG data.

Exoskeleton-based support for patients requires the learning of individual machine-learning models to recognize movement intentions of patients based on the electroencephalogram (EEG). A major issue in EEG-based movement intention recognition is the long calibration time required to train a model. In this paper, we propose a transfer learning approach that eliminates the need for a calibration session.
