Researchers have developed a novel 2-block Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) architecture for real-time electroencephalography (EEG) based gait decoding. This system aims to improve control of lower-limb exoskeletons by addressing challenges like motion artifacts and limited gait formulations. The proposed architecture includes a trainable feature extraction block for artifact suppression and multi-domain feature extraction, paired with a decoder block utilizing a Polynomial Time-Varying Layer (PolyTVL) combined with a long short-term memory (LSTM) network for classifying four distinct gait states: Stand, Initiate, Execute, and Terminate. Pilot study results demonstrated the effectiveness of the PolyTVL+LSTM variant, achieving a validation Matthew's Correlation Coefficient (MCC) of 0.435 and successful gait initiation rates of 55.3% with assistance and 52.7% volitionally, all within a mean prediction time of 70.5 ms.
