In this tutorial, we will review some common signal processing and machine learning techniques that have been used in EEG-based brain-computer interface (BCI) systems to translate brain signals into messages and commands.

This notebook owes much of its content to the MNE and PyRiemann packages.

Most of the examples were partially inspired by the well-documented and high-quality tutorials available in the official documentations (most of which, by the way, are also available as Jupyter notebooks).

To all the developers who have contributed to these modules:
