More than 300 researchers gathered at the 2013 International Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Meeting to discuss current practice and future goals for BCI research and development. The authors organized the Virtual Users' Forum at the meeting to provide the BCI community with feedback from users. We report on the Virtual Users' Forum, including initial results from ongoing research being conducte...

G(u,u',u") = 0, (1) where u = u(x, x,..., x), and u', u" denote all the first and second partial derivatives of u. For simplicity we will assume here that both u and G are scalars and denote by ua, uab, the partial derivatives dau and respectively dahu; a,b =1,2, ..., n+1. Let u (x) be a given solution of (1). Our equation is said to be elliptic or hyperbolic at u°(x) according to whether the (...

We consider the problem of designing optimal linear codes (in terms of having the largest minimum distance) subject to a support constraint on the generator matrix. We show that the largest minimum distance can be achieved by a subcode of a Reed-Solomon code of small field size. As a by-product of this result, we settle the GM-MDS conjecture of Dau et. al. in the affirmative.

background: the internet addiction, also described as pathological internet use (piu), is conceptualized by an individual's in­ability to control his or her use of the internet, which eventually causes marked distress and/or functional impairment. the aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of the piu among adolescence, in relation to different internet ac­tivities, and to ex...

computers are used everywhere from home to work these days, thus the effects on the visual system will be more noticeable every day. problems associated with computer usage are generally known as the computer vision syndrome (cvs).these problems include eye fatigue, irritation ,redness , blurred vision and dry eye. all of these problems have adverse effects on individuals in the long term and r...
