description Enhancing the performance of motor imagery-based Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) has been a significant goal in the BCI field. To achieve such a goal, several typical and promising techniques have been implemented, such as developing intelligent algorithms, combining features from different domains, extracting subject-specific parameters, and so forth. Previous studies performing temporal segmentation often ended up with a large number of features and placed a burden on computational cost, which poses a disadvantage to online analysis. This study proposes a novel approach to utilizing short-window segments to find an optimal combination of time segments and feature extractors. Electroencephalogram data from four datasets (BCI Competition IV dataset 2a, 2b and two self-acquired datasets) were segmented into four types of the time window and had features extracted by Common Spatial Pattern and its variants, and lastly classified by Linear Discriminant Analysis. The result shows that the combination of the “2-s with 1-s overlapping” segment and Filter Bank Common Spatial Pattern yields overall accuracy of 2–6.5% (p-value <0.05), higher than other methods in comparison. In addition, the study finds that there is a negative correlation (r = −0.38) between the number of subject-specific frequency bands and the performance (p-value <0.0001). The results demonstrate that the narrower and more focus frequency range chosen, the more accurate the model can achieve. Our results indicate that the “2-s with 1-s overlapping” segment would be an ideal candidate for online BCI analysis, and the response of selected frequency bands could be an informative indicator to evaluate BCI performance.
