contents Providing a promising pathway to link the human brain with external devices, Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have seen notable advancements in decoding capabilities, primarily driven by increasingly sophisticated techniques, especially deep learning. However, achieving high accuracy in real-world scenarios remains a challenge due to the distribution shift between sessions and subjects. In this paper we will explore the concept of online test-time adaptation (OTTA) to continuously adapt the model in an unsupervised fashion during inference time. Our approach guarantees the preservation of privacy by eliminating the requirement to access the source data during the adaptation process. Additionally, OTTA achieves calibration-free operation by not requiring any session- or subject-specific data. We will investigate the task of electroencephalography (EEG) motor imagery decoding using a lightweight architecture together with different OTTA techniques like alignment, adaptive batch normalization, and entropy minimization. We examine two datasets and three distinct data settings for a comprehensive analysis. Our adaptation methods produce state-of-the-art results, potentially instigating a shift in transfer learning for BCI decoding towards online adaptation.
