Achieving a reliable classification of motor imagery (MI) tasks is a major challenge in brain-computer interface (BCI) implementation. The set of relevant and discriminative features plays an important role in the classification scheme. This paper presents a supervised approach to select discriminat...

BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder clinically characterized by loss of memory and cognition. The effective therapeutic options for AD are limited and thus there is a demand for new drugs. Aegle marmelos (Linn.) (A. marmelos) leaves have been used in trad...

OBJECTIVE: When designing multiclass motor imagery-based brain-computer interface (MI-BCI), a so-called tangent space mapping (TSM) method utilizing the geometric structure of covariance matrices is an effective technique. This paper aims to introduce a method using TSM for finding accurate operatio...

A problem of eye-movement muscular interference removal from EEG recordings is described. In many experiments in neuroscience it is crucial to separate different sources of electrical activity within human body in a situation when a very limited knowledge about nonlinear and nonstationary nature of ...

OBJECTIVE: Recently developed effective methods for detection commands of steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP)-based brain-computer interface (BCI) that need calibration for visual stimuli, which cause more time and fatigue prior to the use, as the number of commands increases. This paper de...

Vanda roxburghii has been used in traditional medicine to treat nervous system disorders including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We reported earlier a high acetylcholinesterase inhibitory and antioxidant activity in the chloroform fraction of this plant. Therefore, this study was designed to explore the...

Epileptic seizure is a sudden alteration of behavior owing to a temporary change in the electrical functioning of the brain. There is an urgent demand for an automatic epilepsy detection system using electroencephalography (EEG) for clinical application. In this paper, the EEG signal is divided into...

BACKGROUND: Multiple protein kinases have been shown to be involved in the apoptotic neuronal loss of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although some studies support the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in amyloid precursor protein processing as well as in tau phosphorylation, a direct role for PKC in apoptot...

The design of a computer-aided system for identifying the seizure onset zone (SOZ) from interictal and ictal electroencephalograms (EEGs) is desired by epileptologists. This study aims to introduce the statistical features of high-frequency components (HFCs) in interictal intracranial electroencepha...

This paper presents a data-adaptive approach to enhance the discriminative information of event-related potential (ERP) for the implementation of a brain-computer interface (BCI). The use of single-trial ERP in a real-time BCI application is challenging, due to its inherent noise contamination. Usua...
