Movement-related changes such as event-related desynchronizationcan (ERD) and event-related synchronization (ERS) can be found in human subthalamic nucleus (STN) with analysis on local field potentials (LFP) recorded from Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Besides traditional time-frequency (TF) analysis, we introduced nonlinear analysis, bispectral and approximate entropy (ApEn), to measure the signal...
Manual/visual polysomnogram (psg) analysis is a standard and commonly implemented procedure utilized in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep related human pathologies. Current technological trends in psg analysis focus upon translating manual psg analysis into automated/computerized approaches. A necessary first step in establishing efficient automated human sleep analysis systems is the development...
To evaluate the proficiency level of an operating myoelectric hand, we proposed an evaluation index consisting of the accuracy and the reproducibility of electromyography (EMG) signal patterns. Our proposed method is not an absolute evaluation because we use bio-signals, so it is necessary to verify the correlation between the proposed index and performance evaluation to confirm the usefulness of...
Functional connectivity in the resting state based on BOLD functional MRI (fMRI) has been used mainly to observe brain networks while subjects `do nothing'. The same principle, however, can be used for any other steady-state brain condition. In this study, we compared the connectivity of the motor area during simple finger tapping with and without real time neuro-feedback of the activation in the...
A recursive system identification algorithm that merges PK/PD information in a minimally parameterized Wiener model for the NMB level is presented. The results show that the coupling between one parameter from the linear block and one from the static nonlinearity is advantageous, when evaluated on a database of 60 real collected NMB cases.
Most of the studies on the synchronization between EHG signals, recorded during the same contractions at different locations, are limited to the use of only two channels. Multichannel techniques have however been widely applied to EEG signals but rarely to EHG. In this paper, we investigate the use of multichannel uterine EMG signals for classifying contractions. We compare the performance of phase...
In this paper we present a quantitative analysis of electrode positions on the side of the face for facial expression recognition using facial bioelectrical signals. We show that distal electrode locations on areas of low facial mobility have a strong amplitude and are correlated to signals captured in the traditional positions on top of the facial muscles. We report on electrode position choice as...
The aim of this study was to compare the intervals of time between adjacent zero crossings (ZCI), an alternative frequency-temporal parameter, with the root-mean-square (RMS) value and the median frequency (Fmed) from the surface EMG (sEMG) signal in muscle fatigue analysis. Twenty right-handed volunteers performed isometric contractions of right biceps brachii muscle while sEMG signals were collected...
