Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) allow a user to control a computer application by brain activity as acquired, e.g., by EEG. A standard step in a BCI system is to project the EEG signals to a low-dimensional subspace using Common Spatial Patterns (CSP). However, non-stationarities in the data can negatively affect the performance of CSP, i.e. variation of the signal properties within and across experimental sessions coming from electrode artefacts, alpha or muscular activity, or fatigue may result in suboptimal projection directions. We alleviate this problem by regularizing CSP towards stationary subspaces and show that this especially increases classification accuracy of people who are not able to control a BCI i.e. have more than 30% of error. These users very often show non-stationarities in their EEG signals.
