contents Achieving high subject-independent accuracy in functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) remains a challenge, particularly when minimizing the number of channels. This study proposes a novel feature extraction scheme and a Pearson correlation-based channel selection algorithm to enhance classification accuracy while reducing hardware complexity. Using an open-access fNIRS dataset, our method improved average accuracy by 28.09% compared to existing approaches, achieving a peak subject-independent accuracy of 95.98% with only two channels. These results demonstrate the potential of our optimized feature extraction and channel selection methods for developing efficient, subject-independent fNIRS-based BCI systems.
