Brain-controlled wheelchairs (BCWs) are a promising solution for people with severe motor disabilities, who cannot use conventional interfaces. However, the low reliability of electroencephalographic signal decoding and high user's workload imposed by continuous control wheelchair requires effective approaches. In this article, we propose self-paced P300-based brain–computer interface (BCI) com...

Data augmentation is widely used for machine learning; however, an effective method to apply data has not been established even though it includes several factors that should be tuned carefully. One such factor sample suitability, which involves selecting samples are suitable augmentation. A typical applies all training disregards may reduce classifier performance. To address this problem, we p...

As research-based, self-paced electronic learning tools become increasingly available, a critical issue educators encounter is implementing strategies to ensure that all students engage with them as intended. Here, we first discuss the effectiveness of electronic learning tutorials as self-paced learning tools in large enrollment brick and mortar introductory physics courses and then propose a ...

this research compared ratings of task performance and contextual performance from three different sources: self, peer, and supervisor. participants were service industry employees in the service industries in yogyakarta, indonesia. a sample of 146 employees and 40 supervisors   from the service industries provided ratings of task performance and contextual performance. the results indicated th...

In this study, we compared brain activation patterns in men and women during performance of a fine motor task, in order to investigate the influence of motor task complexity upon asymmetries of hemispheric recruitment. Thirty-three right-handed participants (17 males, 16 females) performed a self-paced finger-tapping task comprising three conditions of increasing complexity with both the domina...

This study assessed the reliability of a 'self-paced' 30-min, team-sport running protocol on a Woodway Curve 3.0 non-motorised treadmill (NMT). Ten male team-sport athletes (20.3 ± 1.2 y, 74.4 ± 9.7 kg, VO2peak 57.1 ± 4.5 ml·kg(-1)·min(-1)) attended five sessions (VO2peak testing + familiarisation; four reliability trials). The 30-min protocol consisted of three identical 10-min activity blocks...

This paper introduces self-paced task selection to multitask learning, where instances from more closely related tasks are selected in a progression of easier-to-harder tasks, to emulate an effective human education strategy, but applied to multitask machine learning. We develop the mathematical foundation for the approach based on iterative selection of the most appropriate task, learning the ...
