Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems, and particularly electroencephalogram (EEG) based BCI systems, have become more widely used in recent years and are utilized in various applications and domains ranging from medicine and marketing to games and entertainment. While different algorithms have been used to analyze EEG data and enable its classification, existing algorithms have two main drawbacks; both their classification and explainability capabilities are limited. Lacking in explainability, they cannot indicate which electrodes and waves led to a classification decision or explain how areas and frequencies of the brain's activity correlate to a specific task. In this study, we propose a novel extension for the time-interval temporal patterns mining algorithms aimed at enhancing the data mining process by enabling a richer set of patterns to be learned from the EEG data, thereby contributing to improved classification and explainability capabilities. The extended algorithm is designed to capture and leverage the unique nature of EEG data by decomposing it into different brain waves and modeling the relations among them and between different electrodes. Our evaluation of the proposed extended algorithm on multiple learning tasks and three EEG datasets demonstrated the extended algorithm's ability to mine richer patterns that improve the classification performance by 4-11 % based on the Area-Under the receiver operating characteristic Curve (AUC) metric, compared to the original version of the algorithm. Moreover, the algorithm was shown to shed light on the areas and frequencies of the brain's activity that are correlated with specific tasks.
