In this type of treatment, electrical pulses are applied through electrodes implanted into the basal ganglia of the patient. As the symptoms are not permanent in most patients, it is desirable to develop an on-demand stimulator, applying pulses only when onset of the symptoms is detected. This study evaluates a feature set created for the detection of tremor — a cardinal symptom of PD. The designed feature set was based on standard signal features and researched properties of the electrical signals recorded from subthalamic nucleus (STN) within the basal ganglia, which together included temporal, spectral, statistical, autocorrelation and fractal properties. The most characterized tremor related features were selected using statistical testing and backward algorithms then used for classification on unseen patient signals. The spectral features were among the most efficient at detecting tremor, notably spectral bands 3.5–5.5 Hz and 0–1 Hz proved to be highly significant. The classification results for determination of tremor achieved 94% sensitivity with specificity equaling one.","PeriodicalId":359942,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 9th International Conference on Cyberntic Intelligent Systems","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125324083","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 laboratory set-up that resembles the behaviour of a helicopter, namely twin rotor multi-input multi-output system (TRMS) is used as an experimental rig in this research. An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) tuned by particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is developed in search for non-parametric model for the TRMS. The antecedent parameters of the ANFIS are optimized by a PSO algorithm and the consequent parameters are updated using recursive least squares (RLS). The results show that the proposed technique has better convergence and better performance in modeling of a nonlinear process. The identified model is justified and validated in both time domain and frequency domain","PeriodicalId":359942,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 9th International Conference on Cyberntic Intelligent Systems","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127382613","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}

The single degree of freedom grasp was triggered by single unit activity from motor and sensory fibers as a result of stimulation. The work presented here provides a novel, reproducible, economic, and robust platform for experimenting with neural control of prosthetic devices before attempting in vivo implementation.","PeriodicalId":359942,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 9th International Conference on Cyberntic Intelligent Systems","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116875862","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}

The method is described within a combined local-global framework which preserves discontinuity over spatiotemporal domain.

What can be done with Knowledge Management (KM) to improve this situation? The sustainable treatment of the resource knowledge includes social, environmental and organizational aspects like converting economic goals to knowledge goals, discharging obsolete knowledge, detecting knowledge gaps or offering automatic mechanisms for knowledge sharing and transfer. This paper illustrates the significance and functionality of KM for sustainable environmental integration from two aspects: maintaining structural knowledge and accessing and integrating external customer knowledge sources. The first aspect in regards to innovations or new markets is with direct impact on organizational knowledge. This produces knowledge gaps, which have to be filled by making available qualifiable operational performance indicators on the strategic layer as decision support component. The pragmatic approach behind this way of proceeding is the determination of decision goals for the initiatives, which leads to measurable alterations. The second aspect treats a new approach to evaluate and apply customer knowledge for the integration of product use information into product development. This is mandatory for the development and improvement of products and services covering the market demands.","PeriodicalId":359942,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 9th International Conference on Cyberntic Intelligent Systems","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123495577","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}

One of the main challenges in this area of research is attempting to understand how intrinsic activity is propagated within these neuronal networks and how it may be manipulated via external stimuli in order to harness their computational capacity. This raises the question of what similarities and differences arise between spontaneous and evoked responses and how external stimulation can be optimally applied in order to robustly control the neuronal plasticity of neuronal cultures. In this paper we present in detail an application of machine learning methods, specifically hidden Markov models with Poisson-based output distributions, with which we aim to perform comparative studies between spontaneous and evoked neuronal activity over different ages of network development.","PeriodicalId":359942,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 9th International Conference on Cyberntic Intelligent Systems","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123779227","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}

The proposed architectures, based on combining pipeline and parallel arithmetic methods, provide a new and very fast convolution approach with a reduced critical path. The key to this is a clever use of D-latches and multipliers which are efficiently distributed. Furthermore, an advanced discrete wavelet transform (DWT) approach, with an area-efficient architecture, is designed to produce one output in every clock cycle. As a result, a very high-speed is attained. The proposed structure can increase the work frequency (85%) at a low cost of additional hardware elements (55%).
