Using brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) to improve human performance has become a state-of-the-art research topic. The concept of collaborative BCIs, which aimed to use multi-brain computing to enhance human performance, was proposed recently. To further study the feasibility of collaborative BCIs, here we propose to develop an online collaborative BCI to accelerate human response to visual target...
This paper presents a unified probabilistic framework to tackle two closely related visual tasks: pedestrian segmentation and pose tracking along monocular videos. Although the two tasks are complementary in nature, most previous approaches focus on them individually. Here, we resolve the two problems simultaneously by building and inferring a single body model. More specifically, pedestrian segmentation...
Human behaviors are highly affected by implicit human factors such as culture, social conventions, laws and even the mental states of individuals and groups. If robots are to be accepted by humans, they must conform to common social norms and local customs and recognize highly socialized spatial behaviors. This paper aims to extend the Spatial Behavior Cognition Model (SBCM) proposed in [14] by adding...
In the new rural programming and construction advancement, it needs protecting the unique nature landscape of rural settlement, and probing into its evolvement and development medel. By analysis the status quo of traditional rural settelment and point out its existing problems afterward, expounding objective and significant of protecting and updating traditional rural settelment, then point out the...
Printed Spiral Coil (PSC) is a coil antenna for near-field wireless power transmission to the next generation implant medical devices. PSC for implant medical device should be power efficient and low electromagnetic radiation to human tissues. We utilized a physical model of printed spiral coil and applied our algorithm to design PSC operating at 13.56 MHz. Numerical and electromagnetic simulation...
Electrocorticography (ECoG) is an emerging tool to map brain functions in the context of neurosurgical intervention. Previous mapping methods based on the event related power spectrum are prone to noise. To improve the robustness of cortical function mapping, general linear model (GLM), which has been widely used in the analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data, is applied to bandpass...
Human chromosome structural changes are associated with many genetic diseases including cancers. The ability to identify different abnormal chromosomes is therefore important in genetics education. In this paper, we describe new algorithms for generating abnormal chromosomes to enrich the teaching resources.
In China, fast urbanization accompanied by serious damage of urban ecological environmental has largely reduced urban carrying capacity and limited the sustainable and healthy development of the society. Sustainable utilization of resources is the guarantee of human sustainable development. We should build up scientific outlook on development, establish a long-term and effective mechanism to balance...
The construction of western Hubei's ecologicalcultural tourism circle is an important move to profoundly implement scientific outlook on development, optimize regional development pattern of the whole province. The construction of highway and transportation infrastructure is an important item in the construction of western Hubei's circle, so how to build a tourism brand and realize a durable development...
The G-banding technique is routinely used for generating characteristic banding patterns for chromosome identification and karyotyping. Since G-band patterns are not static, training cytogenetics technologists to master the skills of chromosome analysis is a long process. Furthermore, the opportunities for biology students to access a wide range of different chromosome aberrations for practice are...
The brain structure mismatch between western and eastern people may lead to an inappropriate interpretation of neurocognitive studies. To minimize this interracial misinterpretation, we developed the National Taiwan University Chinese Brain Template (NTU-CBT). 102 (M/F=55/47) healthy Chinese subjects were recruited and received 3T MR brain scans. The template development processes were based on the...
Total of 120 soil samples from the topsoil (0-20 cm) at an approximate interval of 100 m were collected in Wutan, China, to determine the spatial variability of five heavy metals, Cd, As, Hg, Pb, and Cr, with classical statistical and geostatistical analyses. Ordinary kriging was utilized for estimating heavy metals determination. Classical statistical indicated that As, Pb, and Cr concentrations...
Security screening systems based on imaging technology, like X-ray and gamma-ray based screening systems, are widely used in the field of aviation security. The image quality of the systems reflects detection performance directly. In the paper a set of image quality assessment software based-on human visual sensitivity (HVS) has been developed. The software integrated HVS method in the objective method...
In most current motor-imagery-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), machine learning is carried out in two consecutive stages: feature extraction and feature classification. Feature extraction has focused on automatic learning of spatial filters, with little or no attention being paid to optimization of parameters for temporal filters that still require time-consuming, ad hoc manual tuning. In this...
