Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We consider the problem of reconstruction of brain activity from non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG) signals using beamforming (spatial filtering). An intrinsic gap between the output variance and the mean squared errorsis highlighted that occurs due to the presence of interfering activities correlated withthe desired activity. We propose a beamformer imposing a quadratic constraint that bounds the total power of interference leakage together with the distortionless constraint for reducing this gap without amplifying the noise. The proposed beamformer can be implemented efficiently by the adaptive filtering algorithm. Numerical examples show the clear advantages of the proposed beamformer over the minimum-variance distortionless response (MVDR) and nulling beamformers.
