Many biological signal analyses have been proceeded in various research fields. In particular, electroencephalographic (EEG) signal analyses have attracted attention because the EEG signal includes a mixture of endogenous brain activities. However, the EEG signal is often mixed physiological artifacts such as the eye blinking, oculogyration, heart beat, or muscle activity. Specifically, humans ...

Neural correlates of eye blink in healthy human subjects can be investigated using functional magnetic resonance imaging. However, the focus of most previous studies has been on intentional eye blinking. The goal of the present study was to examine the neural correlates of spontaneous eye blinking with the help of EOG measurements during data acquisition of fMRI. After the removal of the pulse ...

Quantum dots (QDs) offer distinct advantages over organic dyes and fluorescent proteins for biological imaging applications because of their brightness, photostability, and tunability. However, a major limitation is that single QDs emit fluorescent light in an intermittent on-and-off fashion called "blinking". Here we report the development of blinking-suppressed, relatively compact QDs that ar...

Here we report two types of defect-induced photoluminescence (PL) blinking behaviors observed in single epitaxial InGaAs quantum dots (QDs). In the first type of PL blinking, the "off" period is caused by the trapping of hot electrons from the higher-lying excited state (absorption state) to the defect site so that its PL rise lifetime is shorter than that of the "on" period. For the "off" peri...

Among non-invasive Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs), electroencephalogram (EEG) has been the most commonly used for them because EEG is advantageous in terms of its simplicity and ease of use, which meets BCI specifications when considering practical use. In general, EEG signals (EEGs) can be classified into two categories, spontaneous EEGs and stimulus evoked EEGs. Focusing on stimulus evoked ...

This short paper discusses the utilization of naturalistic eye blinking behavior in social robotics and gives an overview of the application possibilities. It proposes an integrative blinking model and gives an outlook on its implementation.

Marker tracking is widely used in applications like motion capture and pose estimation. This thesis describes the development of an active marker tracking algorithm using a Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS) as recording device. The DVS’s event driven behaviour opens novel opportunities to develop a tracking algorithm with a high temporal resolution at low costs. The tracking algorithm combines both t...
