Frontiers | The impact of cross-validation choices on pBCI classification metrics: lessons for transparent reporting
Neuroadaptive technologies are a type of passive Brain-computer interface (pBCI) that aim to incorporate implicit user-state information into human-machine i...
Our results demonstrate how easily CV choices can distort conclusions, particularly for more complex models, and underscore the importance of transparency.

🔍 Takeaways for offline pBCI studies:
- Clearly document your data-splitting strategy — subtle choices can skew results
- If using blocks: keep them short, interleave conditions, and don’t split a block across train/test
- Trial-level randomisation is usually better to avoid time-based confounds

Differences in mental workload detection accuracy across various classifiers and cross-validation schemes. There is a trend that the more free parameters a model has, the greater the accuracy inflation in block-structure independent cross-validation schemes.
Cross-validation can seriously mislead passive Brain-Computer Interface (pBCI) evaluation.
🎉 New publication!
In our latest paper, we demonstrate how cross-validation choices can influence pBCI performance in mental workload detection and potentially mislead model comparisons.
