Abstract

fMRI has been a popular way for encoding and decoding human visual cortex activity. A previous research reconstructed binary image using a sparse logistic regression (SLR) with fMRI activity patterns as its input. In this article, based on SLR, we propose a new sparse logistic regression with a tunable regularization parameter (SLR-T), which includes the SLR and maximum likelihood regression (MLR) as two special cases. By choosing a proper regularization parameter in SLR-T, it may yield a better performance than both SLR and MLR. An fMRI visual image reconstruction experiment is carried out to verify the performance of SLR-T.
