This paper presents the comparation of three different feature extraction techniques based on the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) for a SSVEP-BCI. This approach based on the characterization of the signal by EMD, is proposed as a novel alternative to other techniques and it was demonstrated that it exceeds both in accuracy rate and Information Transfer Rate (ITR). The experiments were performed in an offline way, and seven volunteers participated of the study. The stimulis were generated both by LCD and LEDs. The frequencies used were 8, 11, 13 and 15 Hz. The results here reported such represent the average of the seven participants, achieving a success rate of 81% and ITR of 23.32 bits/min of the total set of cases analyzed. It is further confirmed that the highest success rates and ITRs were obtained for stimulation by LEDs.

This paper presents a novel place recognition algorithm inspired by the recent discovery of overlapping and multi-scale spatial maps in the rodent brain. We mimic this hierarchical framework by training arrays of Support Vector Machines to recognize places at multiple spatial scales. Place match hypotheses are then cross-validated across all spatial scales, a process which combines the spatial specificity of the finest spatial map with the consensus provided by broader mapping scales. Experiments on three real-world datasets including a large robotics benchmark demonstrate that mapping over multiple scales uniformly improves place recognition performance over a single scale approach without sacrificing localization accuracy. We present analysis that illustrates how matching over multiple scales leads to better place recognition performance and discuss several promising areas for future investigation.

This paper presents the evaluation of seven techniques of feature extraction (PSD, F-Test, EMD, MCE, CCA, LASSO and MSI) for gaze-target detections in a SSVEP-based BCI. Two type of technologies for visual stimulation were used (LCD and LEDs). Five differents windows lengths (1, 2, 4, 5 and 10 s) were used and seven volunteers participated in this study. The highest accuracy obtained in all cases was 93.57% using LEDs and the highest ITR was 36.90 bits/min for LCD. The technique based on MSI shows the highest success rate in both cases (LCD or LED) and is even more noticeable when the window size is increased.

Nowadays, in several areas, efficient fault diagnosis methods for complex machinery and equipments are required. Several fault diagnosis methods based on different theories and approaches have been proposed in the literature. In general, these methods use mathematical/statistical models, accumulated experience, or even process historical data to perform fault diagnosis. Although methods based on models or experience have shown to be effective, they have the disadvantage of requiring previous knowledge of the dynamic system in question. On the contrary, methods based on process historical data do not require a prior knowledge, they are based solely on data obtained directly from the dynamic system. The application of so-called "Evolving Intelligent Systems" to accomplish fault diagnosis from process data have been shown a promising approach. This paper proposes an evolving fuzzy classifier based on a new approach that combines a recursive clustering algorithm and a drift detection method and its application on dynamic systems fault diagnosis. The novel approach provides greater robustness to outliers and noise present in data from process sensors. The classifier is evaluated in fault diagnosis of an interacting tank system and the results are promising.

This paper proposes an efficient architecture for FPGA implementation of MGS-QRD in MIMO wireless communication systems. The proposed architecture is based on the Hardware/Software (HW/SW) design. To achieve the efficient architecture, the systolic architecture is applied to MGS-QRD and then the conventional QR triangular array of (2m 2 +2m+1) cells onto a linear architecture of m+1 cell is employed to reduce the number of required QR processors. The reduced cells are constructed with a number of basic processing elements such as multipliers and adders etc. The basic elements are constructed by HW architectures. The SW of PowerPC core is used to control to achieve the QR decomposition. In this paper, utilization resource and operation performance in term of equivalent gates and operating cycles are shown.
