The most important task of health care is the increasing of life expectancy and improving the quality of life of the population. Taking into consideration the high numbers of disability, it is very relevant to establish a high-precision neurodevice, allowing the integration of people with limited functional abilities into the society. This paper presents the provisional results of a research wo...

Measuring a gamer’s behaviour and perceived gaming experience in real-time can be crucial not only to assess game usability, but also adjust the play content maximize per user. For this purpose, affective physiological monitoring tools (e.g., wearables) have been used monitor human influential factors (HIFs) related quality of (QoE). Representative may include level engagement, stress, as well ...

OBJECTIVES: Evaluation of the localizing value and pathogenesis of vertical APN through examination of patients with this nystagmus form and different diagnosis. DESIGN: Three patients with vertical APN with different diseases (brainstem infarct, brainstem encephalitis and brainstem haemorrhage), but with similar topic of lesions, are presented. For registration of the nystagmus AC-electrooculo...

Eye blink is an important and inevitable artifact during scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) recording. The main problem in EEG signal processing is how to identify eye blink components automatically with independent component analysis (ICA). Taking into account the fact that the eye blink as an external source has a higher sum of correlation with frontal EEG channels than all other sources due to...

Sleep apnea (SA) in the form of Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is becoming the most common respiratory disorder during sleep, which is characterized by cessations of airflow to the lungs. These cessations in breathing must last more than 10 seconds to be considered an apnea event. Apnea events may occur 5 to 30 times an hour and may occur up to four hundred times per night in those with severe S...

Hearing instruments (HIs) have emerged as true pervasive computers as they continuously adapt the hearing program to the user’s context. However, current HIs are not able to distinguish different hearing needs in the same acoustic environment. In this work, we explore how information derived from body and eye movements can be used to improve the recognition of such hearing needs. We conduct an ...

In recent years, traffic accident is one of the critical reasons to cause deaths of drivers. Drivers’ drowsiness has been implicated as a causal factor in many accidents because of the marked decline in drivers’ perception of risk and recognition of danger, and diminished vehicle handling abilities. Consequently, if the mental state of drivers could be real-time monitored, drowsiness detection ...

EEG is the most popular potential non-invasive interface, mainly due to its fine temporal resolution, ease of use, portability and low set-up cost. However, it has some limitations. The main limitation is that EEG is frequently contaminated by various artifacts. In this paper, a novel approach to classify various electromyography and electrooculography artifacts in EEG signals is presented. EEG...
