EEGLAB: an open source toolbox for analysis of single-trial EEG dynamics including independent component analysis.

THE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF EXPERIMENTS. By Oscar Kempthorne. New York, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 1952. 631 pp. $8.50. This book by a teacher of statistics (as well as a consultant for \"experimenters\") is a comprehensive study of the philosophical background for the statistical design of experiment. It is necessary to have some facility with algebraic notation and manipulation to be able to use the volume intelligently. The problems are presented from the theoretical point of view, without such practical examples as would be helpful for those not acquainted with mathematics. The mathematical justification for the techniques is given. As a somewhat advanced treatment of the design and analysis of experiments, this volume will be interesting and helpful for many who approach statistics theoretically as well as practically. With emphasis on the \"why,\" and with description given broadly, the author relates the subject matter to the general theory of statistics and to the general problem of experimental inference.

I have developed "tennis elbow" from lugging this book around the past four weeks, but it is worth the pain, the effort, and the aspirin. It is also worth the (relatively speaking) bargain price. Including appendixes, this book contains 894 pages of text. The entire panorama of the neural sciences is surveyed and examined, and it is comprehensive in its scope, from genomes to social behaviors. The editors explicitly state that the book is designed as "an introductory text for students of biology, behavior, and medicine," but it is hard to imagine any audience, interested in any fragment of neuroscience at any level of sophistication, that would not enjoy this book. The editors have done a masterful job of weaving together the biologic, the behavioral, and the clinical sciences into a single tapestry in which everyone from the molecular biologist to the practicing psychiatrist can find and appreciate his or

Brain-computer interfaces for communication and control.

Amplitude measurement of CNV is often used to obtain information about the state of consciousness of the subject. Because of changes of attention, the CNV task cannot be repeated frequently enough to get a reliable average of CNV or EP amplitude. Therefore a new method, based on Rank Correlation Analysis (RCA), is introduced, which permits a more reliable estimate of an amplitudelike EP parameter, called ‘EP probability’. A further advantage of this method is information on the quality of each additional trial, which offers new possibilities in EP investigation and artefact rejection.

Measurement of evoked potentials during CNV task

Compressed EP and EEG spectra monitoring in the intensive care unit and operating theatre

Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) were performed in a total of 20 subjects (mean age 33.2 +/- 15.1 years; severe head injury in most cases) with the diagnosis of coma depasse. The control group consisted of 33 healthy volunteers (mean age 26.9 +/- 5.3 years). The presence, latency and amplitude of the single BAEP-components and the variations of the stimulus artifact were evaluated. The mean amplitudes of the stimulus artifact of the brain dead subjects were calculated (means +/- SD) to be 0.26 +/- 0.12 microV (control group: 0.11 +/- 0.03 microV). Pathological alterations of the mechanics of the inner ear as well as extracerebral changes in conductivity or stimulus related depolarization processes in extracerebral parts of the auditory system were taken into consideration to be possible reasons for this significant (p less than 0.001; t-test) difference.
