BIOSIGNAL 2010 Template

Biosignal interpretation conference 2009.

This special issue consisting of 20 selected papers arose from the 6th International Workshop on Biosignal Interpretation (BSI) held on the campus of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, USA in June 2009. The history of this series of international workshops can be traced back to the first meeting – the IMIA-IFMBE Working Conference on Biosignal Interpreta tion – which was held at Skorpin...

Applications using Earphone with Biosignal Sensors

We propose novel ways of interactions using biosignals. We developed a prototype earphone with three kinds of biosignal sensors: pulse wave, electromyogram (EMG) and acceleration sensors. Using this sensor system, we implemented three new applications automatic music selection, tactile and visual communication and automatic metadata annotation. We also present results of preliminary subjective ...

Discovering Temporal Patterns of Complex Events in Biosignal Data

Analyzing biosignal data is an activity of great importance which can unearth information on the course of a disease. In this paper we propose a temporal data mining approach to analyze these data and acquire knowledge, in the form of temporal patterns, on the physiological events which can frequently trigger particular stages of disease. The proposed approach is realized through a four-stepped...

Beyond biometrics

Throughout the last 40 years, the essence of automated identification of users has remained the same. In this article, a new class of biometrics is proposed that is founded on processing biosignals, as opposed to images. After a brief introduction on biometrics, biosignals are discussed, including their advantages, disadvantages, and guidelines for obtaining them. This new class of biometrics i...
