introduction: evoked potentials arisen by stimulating the brain can be utilized as a communication tool  between humans and machines. most brain-computer interface (bci) systems use the p300 component,  which is an evoked potential. in this paper, we evaluate the use of the hidden markov model (hmm) for  detection of p300.  materials and methods: the wavelet transforms, wavelet-enhanced indepen...

Neurology India | Jan-Feb 2009 | Vol 57 | Issue 1 Figure 2: Axial contrast-enhanced T1W MRI (a) shows diffuse enhancement of the wall of the right intra-petrous ICA (arrow). Ethmoid and sphenoid sinusitis is also seen. 3D contrast-enhanced MR angiogram (b) shows long segment narrowing of the right ICA (arrow). The left ICA is normal (black arrow) Cavernous sinus thrombophlebitis causing reversi...

We examined the dopamine (DA) modulation of calcium currents (ICa) that could contribute to the plasticity of the pyloric network in the lobster stomatogastric ganglion. Pyloric somata were voltage-clamped under conditions designed to block voltage-gated Na+, K+, and H currents. Depolarizing steps from -60 mV generated voltage-dependent, inward currents that appeared to originate in electrotoni...

Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) is a new population-based evolutionary algorithm. It divides its population of solutions into several sub-populations, and then searches for the optimal solution through two operations: assimilation and competition. The assimilation operation moves each non-best solution (called colony) in a sub-population toward the best solution (called imperialist) in ...

Recently, Independent Component Analysis (ICA) has been applied to not only problems of blind signal separation, but also feature extraction of patterns. However, the effectiveness of features extracted by ICA (ICA features) has not been verified yet. As one of the reasons, it is considered that ICA features are obtained by increasing their independence rather than by increasing their class sep...

Medicare beneficiaries face myriad rules, conditions, and exceptions under the Medicare program. As a result, State Information, Counseling, and Assistance (ICA) programs were established or enhanced with Federal funding as part of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1990. ICA programs utilize a volunteer-based and locally-sponsored support system to deliver free and unbiased counse...

1. Whole-cell, high-threshold, voltage-dependent calcium currents (ICa) were enhanced in acutely dissociated, capsaicin-sensitive dorsal root ganglion neurones from diabetic Bio Bred/Worchester (BB/W) rats, compared with those from age-matched, non-diabetic controls. The magnitude of the enhancement increased with the duration of diabetes, and reached significance at diabetic durations of 6 mon...
