contents An Event-Related Potential (ERP)-based Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Speller System assists people with disabilities to communicate by decoding electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. A P300-ERP embedded in EEG signals arises in response to a rare, but relevant event (target) among a series of irrelevant events (non-target). Different machine learning methods have constructed binary classifiers to detect target events, known as calibration. The existing calibration strategy uses data from participants themselves with lengthy training time. Participants feel bored and distracted, which causes biased P300 estimation and decreased prediction accuracy. To resolve this issue, we propose a Bayesian signal matching (BSM) framework to calibrate EEG signals from a new participant using data from source participants. BSM specifies the joint distribution of stimulus-specific EEG signals among source participants via a Bayesian hierarchical mixture model. We apply the inference strategy. If source and new participants are similar, they share the same set of model parameters; otherwise, they keep their own sets of model parameters; we predict on the testing data using parameters of the baseline cluster directly. Our hierarchical framework can be generalized to other base classifiers with parametric forms. We demonstrate the advantages of BSM using simulations and focus on the real data analysis among participants with neuro-degenerative diseases.
