Using Machine Learning and Deep Learning to predict cognitive tasks from electroencephalography (EEG) signals has been a fast-developing area in Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI). However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, data collection and analysis could be more challenging than before. This paper explored machine learning algorithms that can run efficiently on personal computers for BCI classification tasks. Also, we investigated a way to conduct such BCI experiments remotely via Zoom. The results showed that Random Forest and RBF SVM performed well for EEG classification tasks. The remote experiment during the pandemic yielded several challenges, and we discussed the possible solutions; nevertheless, we developed a protocol that grants non-experts who are interested a guideline for such data collection.
