The power spectrum of background EEG is estimated by the Plsarenko Harmonic Decomposition with the stochastic process whlch consists of the nonhamonic sinus Bid and the white nosie. The estimation results are examined and compared with the results from the maximum entropy spectral extimation, and the optimal order of this from the maximum entropy spectral extimation, and the optimal order of this model can be determined from the eigen value's fluctuation of autocorrelation of background EEG. From the comparing results, this method is possible to estimate the power spectrum of background EEG.

In this paper the power spectrum of background EEG is estimated by the LMS PHD based on least mean square. At the power spectrum estimatiom, the stocastic process of background EEG is assumed to consist of the nonharmonic sinusoid and the white noise. In the LMS PHD the model parameters are obtained by the least mean square at optimal order which is obtained from the fact that the eigenvalue's fluctuation of autocorrelation matrix of the normal back-ground EEG is smaller at some order than at other order when the power spectrum of background EEG is esitmated by PHD. The optimal order of this model is the 6-th order when the eigenvalue's fluctuation of autocorrelation matrix of background EEG is considered. The estimation results are with compared the results from the Maximum Entropy Spectral Estimation and Pisarenko Harmonic Decomposition. From the comparison results. The LMS PHD is possible to estimate the power spectrum of background EEG.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by the degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons. The disorder causes muscle weakness and atrophy in airway muscles including pharyngeal, laryngeal and other respiratory muscles. The response to muscle realxant is also altered in patients with ALS. Because of the inherent muscle weakness and associated respiratory insufficiency, particular attentions are needed in anesthetic management of ALS patients. We used proper doses of inhalation anesthetics and opioids under EEG-entropy (electroencephalography-entropy)-monitoring without the use of muscle realxants in the anesthetic management of a patient with ALS. The patient early recovered and was discharged on the same day without any respiratory complications.

With the stochastic process which consists of the harmonic sinusoid and the white nosie, the power spectrum of background EEG is estimated by the Pisarenko Harmonic Decomposition.

From the comparing results, this paper ensures that this method is possible to analyze the power spectrum of background EEG.

Depression is the most common and widespread mood disorder. About 20% of the population might suffer a major, incapacitating episode of depression during their lifetime. This disorder can be classified into two types: major depressive disorders and bipolar disorder. Since pharmaceutical treatments are different according to types of depression disorders, correct and fast classification is quite critical for depression patients. Yet, classical statistical method, such as minnesota multiphasic personality inventory (MMPI), have some difficulties in applying to depression patients, because the patients suffer from concentration. We used electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis method fer classification of depression. We extracted nonlinearity of information flows between channels and estimated approximate entropy (ApEn) for the EEG at each channel. Using these attributes, we applied two types of data mining classification methods: decision tree and possibilistic support vector machines (PSVM). We found that decision tree showed 85.19% accuracy and PSVM exhibited 77.78% accuracy for classification of depression, 30 patients with major depressive disorder and 24 patients having bipolar disorder.

This paper presents a new approach to investigate spatial correlation between independent components of brain alpha activity in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG). To avoid potential problems of simultaneous fMRI and EEG acquisitions in imaging pure alpha activity, data from each modality were acquired separately under a 'three conditions' setup where one of the conditions involved closing eyes and relaxing, thus making it conducive to generation of alpha activity. The other two conditions -- eyes open in a lighted room or engaged in a mental arithmetic task, were designed to attenuate alpha activity. Using a Mixture Density Independent Component Analysis (MD-ICA) that incorporates flexible non-linearity functions into the conventional ICA framework, we could identify the spatiotemporal components of fMRI activations and EEG activities associated with the alpha rhythm. Then, the sources of the individual EEG alpha activity component were localized by a Maximum Entropy (ME) method that is specially designed to find the most probable dipole distribution minimizing the localization error in sense of LMSE. The resulting active dipoles were spatially transformed to 3D MRls of the subject and compared to fMRI alpha activity maps. A good spatial correlation was found in the spatial distribution of alpha sources derived independently from fMRI and EEG, suggesting the proposed method can localize the cortical areas responsible for generating alpha activity successfully in either fMRI or EEG. Finally a functional connectivity analysis was applied to show that alpha activity sources of both modalities were also functionally connected to each other, implying that they are involved in performing a common function: 'the generation of alpha rhythms'.

An alternative human interface enabling people with severe motor disabilities to control an assistive system is presented. Since this interface relies on the biosignals originating from the contraction of muscles on the face during particular movements, even individuals with a paralyzed limb can use it with ease. For real-world application, a dedicated hardware module employing a general-purpose digital signal processor was implemented and its validity tested on an electrically powered wheelchair. Furthermore, an additional attempt to reduce error rates to a minimum for stable operation was also made based on the entropy information inherent in the signals during the classification phase. In the experiments, most of the five participating subjects could control the target system at their own will, and thus it is found that the proposed interface can be considered a potential alternative for the interaction of the severely disabled with electronic systems.

본 논문의 목적은 퍼지 엔트로피를 이용하여 비선형신호를 예측하는 것이다. 이 방법은 분할된 여러 부 공간(subspace)에 대해 입력 데이터로부터 퍼지 엔트로피를 이용하여 각각의 규칙에 등급을 정하여 불필요한 제어규칙을 제거하여 바람직한 규칙베이스를 구성하도록 한 것이다. 적용되는 퍼지 신경망의 기본적인 구조는 퍼지 제어기의 규칙베이스와 추론의 과정을 신경회로망을 이용하여 구현하며 퍼지 제어규칙의 매개변수들은 역전파 알고리즘에 의해 적응되어진다. 또한 매개변수의 수를 줄이기 위하여 제어규칙의 결론부의 출력값은 신경망의 가중치로 구성하였다. 결국 퍼지 신경망의 복잡도를 줄일 수 있다. Mackey-Glass 시계열의 예측에 대한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 본 논문에서 제안한 방법의 효율성을 입증하고, 제안된 방법을 EEG 생리신호 분석에 이용될 수 있다.

SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) remote sensing data is a very useful tool for near-real-time identification of landslide affected areas that can occur over a large area due to heavy rains or typhoons. This study aims to develop an effective algorithm for automatically delineating landslide areas from the polarimetric SAR data acquired after the landslide event. To detect landslides from SAR observations, reduction of the speckle effects in the estimation of polarimetric SAR parameters and the orthorectification of geometric distortions on sloping terrain are essential processing steps. Based on the experimental analysis, it was found that the IDAN filter can provide a better estimation of the polarimetric parameters. In addition, it was appropriate to apply orthorectification process after estimating polarimetric parameters in the slant range domain. Furthermore, it was found that the polarimetric entropy is the most appropriate parameters among various polarimetric parameters. Based on those analyses, we proposed an automatic landslide detection algorithm using the histogram thresholding of the polarimetric parameters with the aid of terrain slope information. The landslide detection algorithm was applied to the ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 data which observed landslide areas in Japan triggered by Typhoon in September 2011. Experimental results showed that the landslide areas were successfully identified by using the proposed algorithm with a detection rate of about 82% and a false alarm rate of about 3%.
