Neuroscientist Konrad Kording says calibration-free BCI decoding — the field's hardest problem — may be solved

Konrad Kording (KordingLab, UPenn) quote-posted that calibration-free decoder design is one of the hardest — arguably the hardest — problems in brain-computer interfaces. With this new work plus another effort his lab is cooking, "we may have solved it," adding that calibration "clearly is unnecessary" and it's nice to see it happening.
Calibration-free decoding would remove the need for per-user calibration training before each BCI session, a key bottleneck for practical brain-computer interfaces. Technical details haven't been shared yet.
