The aims of this study were to use pre-movement signals to predict motor tasks, and to decide whether the prefrontal area, which has been recognized as generating premovement signals that reflect motor intention or preparation, generates useful pre-movement signals. Six patients with intractable epilepsy participated in this study and performed self-paced hand grasping and elbow flexion while electrocortico-graphy (ECoG) was recorded. The electrodes that showed clear power differences in a specific frequency band between two different movements were chosen at a preparatory stage (−2.0 s to 0 s). The average value of the squared power of the signal sample was extracted for the feature. A support vector machine (SVM) was used as a classifier. A total of twelve electrodes differentiating hand grasping and elbow flexion were selected. Four electrodes were placed on the prefrontal area. The average prediction rate was 74% (range, 55.4 to 99.3%) across the six subjects. The successful prediction of movement intention indicates that the prefrontal area may generate useful premovement signals and implies that our approach could produce BCI response faster than a subject's real actions.","PeriodicalId":129758,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Winter Workshop on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126676839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From this study we convinced that the action observation and motor imagery may create the similar neural activities to the active movement. In addition, we showed the feasibility of an fNIRS integrated brain haptic interaction based on the neural mechanism of action observation. Implications of this study suggested that the neurohaptics can play a more active role in realistic haptic interaction for the real applications including brain computer interface.","PeriodicalId":129758,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Winter Workshop on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134085413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study used computed tomography scans of 19 pediatric patients and 10 normal children to test whether the quantification of the radiodensity of images can detect ischemia and/or edema or not. The Hounsfield unit distributions of typical grey matter region did not show statistical differences between patients group and control group, but 84%(16) of patients group showed increase and change in overall Hounsfield unit between the initial and follow up imaging studies. The distribution of Hounsfield unit can be used as an effective tool for confirming the existence of cerebral edema.","PeriodicalId":129758,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Winter Workshop on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128942079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A number of studies have tried to find ways to control cybersickness and some of them have demonstrated that presenting rest frames in VE might be one promising method to reduce cybersickness. This study investigates the effects of rest frames on cybersickness and the cybersickness-related brain activities. Participants (n=22) were exposed to a roller coaster simulator in a VE, both under a rest frame condition and a nonrest frame condition, in counter-balanced order while undergoing EEG recordings. Participants who experienced less cybersickness in the rest frame condition showed characteristic oscillations in different EEG frequency bands compared to those of in the nonrest frame condition. Based on the level of cybersickness and oscillatory EEG changes, we suggest that rest frames may reduce or delay the onset of cybersickness by alleviating users' attention or perception load.","PeriodicalId":129758,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Winter Workshop on Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114401392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
