A new parallel man-machine training approach to brain-computer interface (BCI) succeeded through a unique application of machine learning methods. The BCI system could train users to control an animated cursor on the computer screen by voluntary electroencephalogram (EEG) modulation. Our BCI system requires only two to four electrodes, and has a relatively short training time for both the user ...

In this paper, we describe a model of en-route air traffic controllers' cognitive activities in a dynamic man-machine system. The implementation of the model MoFl (Modell der Fluglotsenleistungen) is based on a production system in the programming language ACT-R (Adaptive Control of Thought Rational, Anderson, 1993).

Facial expressions are the most powerful and direct means of presenting human emotions and feelings and offer a window into a persons’ state of mind. In recent years, the study of facial expression and recognition has gained prominence; as industry and services are keen on expanding on the potential advantages of facial recognition technology. As machine vision and artificial intelligence advan...

These improvements include a unibody chassis design that enhances mechanical stability for the system, resulting in faster cutting speeds and better positioning repeatability. In addition, the cutting bed on the META 10C has been enlarged to accommodate standard European sheet sizes (1.25 m x 1.25 m). The META platform also now incorporates an industrial designed, ergonomic and efficient man/ma...

In this informal talk, we will present various uncertainty theories for different purposes within cost estimations for large scale engineering projects. We will provide a detailed case-study on the Myrrha project and illustrate the power of intelligent decision system to the cost-benefit analysis of nuclear systems.

The fabrication of accurate prototype from CAD model directly in short time depends on the accurate tracking control and reference trajectory planning in (Laminated Object Manufacture) LOM application. An improvement on contour accuracy is acquired by the introduction of a tracking controller and a trajectory generation policy. A model of the X-Y positioning system of LOM machine is developed a...
