Visualization of SSVEP-based BCI Classification in Tangent Space¶
Project extended covariance matrices of SSVEP-based BCI in the tangent space, using principal geodesic analysis (PGA).
You should have a look to “Offline SSVEP-based BCI Multiclass Prediction” before this example.

Classification with minimum distance to mean (MDM)¶
Classification for a 4-class SSVEP BCI, including resting-state class.

Number of training trials: 32
MDM(metric={'distance': 'riemann', 'mean': 'riemann'})
Projection in tangent space with principal geodesic analysis (PGA)¶
Project covariance matrices from the Riemannian manifold into the Euclidean tangent space at the grand average, and apply a principal component analysis (PCA) to obtain an unsupervised dimension reduction 1.
pga = make_pipeline(
TangentSpace(metric="riemann", tsupdate=False),
PCA(n_components=2)

Offline training of MDM visualized by PGA¶
These figures show the trajectory on the tangent space taken by covariance matrices during a 4-class SSVEP experiment, and how they are classified epoch by epoch.
This figure reproduces Fig 3(c) of reference 2, showing training trials of best subject.
