Brain–computer interface (BCI) technology, which controls external devices by directly decoding brain activities, has made important progress and practical applications in recent years in many fields. However, the domain bias issue in cross-domain applications remains a significant challenge in the practical implementation of BCI technology. This is particularly acute in scenarios where target data are unavailable, largely because of the noise sensitivity and acquisition limitations inherent in electroencephalography (EEG) signal data. When processing nonstationary EEG signals, existing domain generalization methods face limitations: Adversarial training may compromise model stability, while global feature alignment approaches struggle to sufficiently decouple category-dependent and category-independent features, thereby constraining generalization performance. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a hybrid approach based on domain-invariant feature learning and data enhancement. We introduce a “fixed” structure enhancement method that combines domain-invariant feature learning with data enhancement strategies, decouples domain-invariant features from other features, optimizes cross-domain feature extraction, and reduces the effect of noise in data. Through extensive experimental validation on multiple publicly available datasets, the model proposed in this paper outperforms the existing state-of-the-art methods, providing a novel and effective solution to the domain bias problem in BCI.
