Common Spatial Pattern

Common Spatial Pattern (CSP) is a spatial filtering technique that identifies electrode combinations that maximize the variance difference between two classes of EEG activity, typically used in brain-computer interfaces to enhance motor imagery discrimination. Introduced by Ramoser and colleagues in 2000, CSP has become a standard feature extraction method in BCI research.
