TL;DR: Feature extraction method based on morphological multi-resolution analysis is introduced to extract features concerned with motor imagery and cognition simultaneously from EEG signals to confirm effectiveness of this method.
Abstract: Electroencephalograph (EEG) recordings during right and left hand motor imagery can be used to move a cursor to a target on a computer screen. Such an EEG-based brain-computer interface (BCI) can provide a new communication channel to replace an impaired motor function. Recently, we have proposed the detection method of Error Potential in order to add the fail safe function to BCI system. In this paper, feature extraction method based on morphological multi-resolution analysis is introduced to extract features concerned with motor imagery and cognition simultaneously from EEG signals. Morphological filter is composed of nonlinear operation between signal and structural function. We propose some design methods of structural function that decide the filter characteristic of morphology. These algorithms are compared to DWT from the view point of filter characteristics. Consequently, effectiveness of our method is confirmed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a vorliegende Arbeit beschreibt ein Gerät, welches den Bedingungen bei wissenschaftlichen -und klinischen Untersuchungen evozierter Potentiale besonders Rechnung trägt.
Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschreibt ein Gerät, welches den Bedingungen bei wissenschaftlichen -und klinischen Untersuchungen evozierter Potentiale besonders Rechnung trägt. Neben periodischen Impulsfolgen stehen auch solche mit zeitlich statistischer Verteilung zur Verfügung. Die Reizimpulse können strömoder spannungskonstant appliziert werden. Bei größeren Artefakten im EEG erfolgt für die Dauer der Störung automatisch eine Blockierung der Reizimpulse, ebenso kann die Auslösung vom Überoder Unterschreiten des a-Anteiles im EEG abhängig gemacht werden. Die Arbeit .umfaßt eine Beschreibung des Gerätes, Besprechung der Baugruppen und wesentlicher Schaltungsteile sowie die Angabe technischer Daten.

TL;DR: EELAB as mentioned in this paper is a toolbox and graphic user interface for processing collections of single-trial and/or averaged EEG data of any number of channels, including EEG data, channel and event information importing, data visualization (scrolling, scalp map and dipole model plotting, plus multi-trial ERP-image plots), preprocessing (including artifact rejection, filtering, epoch selection, and averaging), Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and time/frequency decomposition including channel and component cross-coherence supported by bootstrap statistical methods based on data resampling.

TL;DR: 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.
Abstract: 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.

TL;DR: 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 her own research.
Abstract: 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

TL;DR: With adequate recognition and effective engagement of all issues, BCI systems could eventually provide an important new communication and control option for those with motor disabilities and might also give those without disabilities a supplementary control channel or a control channel useful in special circumstances.
