Introduction
The brain-computer interface (BCI) interprets the intention of the user to communicate with external devices by analyzing brain signals – . Among the various methods for measuring brain signals – , a well-established and widely used brain signal is electroencephalography (EEG), which is non-invasive and has a high temporal resolution , .
The following paradigms are commonly used for EEG-based BCI: motor imagery (MI) – , event-related potential (ERP) – , and steady-state visual potential (SSVEP) .

Despite the fact that existing closed-set methods (i.e. softmax) are good at distinguishing classes, their ability to distinguish between known and unknown classes is limited.
Research Question
The main objective is to lower both the closed-set classification risk associated with labeled known data as well as the open space risk associated with unknown data at the same time .
Methodology
In , this issue was addressed by jointly training an auxiliary network that performs an open-set recognition (OSR) task to learn subject-specific style features and to impart invariance between instances of the same subject. In this study, we validated the effectiveness of the OSR task for learning subject-specific style features in a prototypebased domain generalization framework based on.
Study Design
OSSR task utilizes the subject labels to impose crossinstance style (subject-specific information) invariance and to learn subject discriminative features, rather than remove user information.
Using the OSR method as an auxiliary task to classify subjects reduces the open space risk of potentially unknown subjects and trains a more generalized model.

- In this study, we compare various combinations of OSSR frameworks using the convolutional prototype learning (CPL)-based OSR used in and the following prototype learning-based OSR methodologies.
- In contrast to traditional CNNs, prototype learning does not use a softmax layer but instead learns prototypes based on a data set.

Practical Applications
It is possible, however, that in a transfer learning process, data from other subjects may have negative effects. In light of this, it may be beneficial to learn subject-specific features simultaneously, i.e., to give the network the ability to distinguish which individuals a sample belongs to.
OSR aims to provide a system capable of identifying known and unknown classes for real-world scenarios in which unknown classes might be encountered.
