Outside the Head Thinking: A Novel Approach for Detecting Human Brain Cognition

چکیده
Electroencephalography (EEG) is one of the most commonly used measures in neuroscience and psychophysiology research for studying functional information of brain activity such as cognition and emotion. However, because of lack of convenient methods to measure EEG, it is difficult to use in everyday situations. The electrodermal potential (EDP) can be used to monitor brain activities. This study investigated the correlation between scalp acquired EEG and EDP from the body below the head, for two distinctive cognitive statuses of relaxation and attention. The results showed that theta power decreases while beta power increases in the attention state compared to relaxation from EDP. We also obtained 84.2 % of classification accuracy to discriminate attention-relaxation states using EDP signals, while obtaining 83.9*89.3 % of the classification accuracy using a single channel EEG.

A Novel Approach for Detecting Relationships in Social Networks Using Cellular Automata Based Graph Coloring
All the social networks can be modeled as a graph, where each roles as vertex and each relationroles as an edge. The graph can be show as G = [V;E], where V is the set of vertices and E is theset of edges. All social networks can be segmented to K groups, where there are members in eachgroup with same features. In each group each person knows other individuals and is in touch ...

Introduction: Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an imaging method in which light source and detector are installed on the head; consequently, re-emission of light from human skin contains information about cerebral hemodynamic alteration. The spatial probability distribution profile of photons penetrating tissue at a source spot, scattering into the tissue, and being released at ...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a disruption in the brain functions following a head trauma. Cell therapy may provide a promising treatment for TBI. Human neural stem cells cultured in self-assembling peptide scaffolds have been proposed as a potential novel method for cell replacement treatment after TBI. In the present study, we accessed the effects of human neural stem/progenitor cells (hNS/...

This question has always been put forward in the mind of curious people why some countries have developed termed in spite of very few natural resources and facilities while other countries have not developed in spite of having more suitable resources and facilities. Various factors such as economy, culture, geography, etc. are perhaps a background to answer this question, but there is a more im...
متن کاملSituative Creativity 1 Running Head: Situative Creativity Situative Creativity: Larger Physical Spaces Facilitate Thinking of Novel Uses for Everyday Objects
People often use spatial metaphors (e.g., think “laterally”, “outside the box”) to describe exploration of the problem space during creative problem solving. In this paper, we probe the potential cognitive underpinnings of these spatial metaphors. Drawing on theories of situative cognition, semantic foraging theory, and environmental psychology, we formulate and test the hypothesis that larger ...
