Abstract

The Partial Least Square Regression (PLSR) method has shown admirable competence for predicting continuous variables from inter-correlated electrocorticography signals in the brain-computer interface. However, PLSR is essentially formulated with the least square criterion, thus, being considerably prone to the performance deterioration caused by the brain recording noises. To address this problem, this study aims to propose a new robust variant for PLSR. To this end, the maximum correntropy criterion (MCC) is utilized to propose a new robust implementation of PLSR, called Partial Maximum Correntropy Regression (PMCR). The half-quadratic optimization is utilized to calculate the robust projectors for the dimensionality reduction, and the regression coefficients are optimized by a fixed-point optimization method. The proposed PMCR is evaluated with a synthetic example and a public electrocorticography dataset under three performance indicators. For the synthetic example, PMCR realized better prediction results compared with the other existing methods. PMCR could also abstract valid information with a limited number of decomposition factors in a noisy regression scenario. For the electrocorticography dataset, PMCR achieved superior decoding performance in most cases, and also realized the minimal neurophysiological pattern deterioration with the interference of the noises. The experimental results demonstrate that, the proposed PMCR could outperform the existing methods in a noisy, inter-correlated, and high-dimensional decoding task. PMCR could alleviate the performance degradation caused by the adverse noises and ameliorate the electrocorticography decoding robustness for the brain-computer interface.
