Human sensory and motor systems provide the natural means for exchange of information between individuals, and, hence, basis human civilization. The recent development brain-computer interfaces (BCI) has provided an important element creation brain-to-brain communication systems, precise brain stimulation techniques are now available realization non-invasive computer-brain (CBI). These technologies, BCI CBI, can be combined to realize vision non-invasive, computer-mediated (B2B) subjects...

Abstract. Tomographic techniques are successfully applied to obtain 4D images of the tropospheric refractivity in a local dense network global positioning system (GPS) receivers. We show here how GPS data processed slant wet delays and discuss validity processing. These observables tomographic then inverse problem tomography making extensive use simulations test define resolution impact noise. Finally, we from Kilauea Hawaii for February 1, 1997, 4×4×40 voxel grid on region 400 km2 15 km...

Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive brain technique that has been successfully applied for modulation of cortical excitability. tDCS capable inducing changes in neuronal membrane potentials polarity-dependent manner. When sufficient length, synaptically driven after-effects are induced. The mechanisms underlying these largely unknown, and there compelling need animal models to test the immediate effects induced by different areas evaluate implications complex...

Objectives: To compare quantitative EEG signal and test-retest reliability of medical grade consumer systems. Methods: Resting state was acquired by two (B-Alert, Enobio) (Muse, Mindwave) systems in 5 healthy subjects during study visits. patterns, power spectral densities (PSDs) test/retest eyes closed open conditions were compared across the four systems, focusing on Fp1, only common electrode. Fp1 PSDs obtained using Welch's modified periodogram method averaged for five each visit. The...

Features extracted from electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings have proved to be unique enough between subjects for biometric applications. We show here that biometry based on these offers a novel way robustly authenticate or identify subjects. In this paper, we present rapid and unobtrusive authentication method only uses 2 frontal electrodes referenced another one placed at the ear lobe. Moreover, system makes use of multistage fusion architecture, which demonstrates improve performance....

An experiment was carried out to examine the impact on electrodermal activity of people when approached by groups one or four virtual characters at varying distances. It premised basis proxemics theory that closer approach participant, greater level physiological arousal. Physiological arousal measured number skin conductance responses within a short time period after approach, and maximum change in 5 s approach.

The use of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signals for remote sensing applications, generally referred to as GNSS-Reflectometry (GNSS-R), is gaining increasing interest among the scientific community a tool land applications. This paper describes long term experimental campaign in which an extensive dataset GNSS-R polarimetric measurements was acquired over crop field from ground-based stationary platform. Ground truth ancillary data were also continuously recorded during whole...

Recent findings suggest that transcranial direct current stimulation of the primary motor cortex may ameliorate freezing gait. However, effects multitarget simultaneous and cognitive networks are mostly unknown. The objective this study was to evaluate left dorsolateral prefrontal on gait related outcomes.Twenty patients with Parkinson's disease received 20 minutes 3 separate visits. Transcranial targeted simultaneously, only, or sham (order randomized double-blinded assessments)....

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a heterogeneous neurodevelopmental that affects 5% of the pediatric and adult population worldwide. The diagnosis remains essentially clinical, based on history exam, with no available biomarkers. In this paper, we describe deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) four-layer architecture combining filtering pooling, which train using stacked multi-channel EEG time-frequency decompositions (spectrograms) electroencephalography data (EEG),...

REM Behavior Disorder (RBD) is now recognized as the prodromal stage of α-synucleinopathies such Parkinson's disease (PD). In this paper, we describe deep learning models for diagnosis/prognosis derived from a few minutes eyes-closed resting electroencephalography data (EEG) collected at baseline idiopathic RBD patients (n = 121) and healthy controls (HC, n 91). A years after EEG acquisition (4±2 years), subset were eventually diagnosed with either PD 14) or Dementia Lewy bodies (DLB, 13),...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a neuromodulatory non-invasive brain technique, has shown promising results in basic and clinical studies. The known interindividual variability of the effects, however, limits efficacy technique. Recently we reported neurophysiological effects tDCS applied over primary motor cortex at group level, based on data from twenty-nine participants who received 15min either sham, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 mA anodal, cathodal tDCS. were evaluated via...
