Attentional sequence-based recognition: Markovian and evidential reasoning.

Biological vision systems explore their environment via allocating their visual resources to only the interesting parts of a scene. This is achieved by a selective attention mechanism that controls eye movements. The data thus generated is a sequence of subimages of different locations and thus a sequence of features extracted from those images - referred to as attentional sequence.

Population-response model for vibrotactile spatial summation.

A computational model based on previous physiological and psychophysical data is presented for the human Pacinian (P) psychophysical channel. The model can predict the probability of detection in simple psychophysical tasks, and hence psychometric functions and thresholds. The model simulates stimulating variable and fixed glabrous skin sites with different-sized contactors and includes spatial variation of monkey P-fiber sensitivities.

Wavelet analysis of oddball P300.

The comparative wavelet analysis presented in details by Demiralp et al. (1999), Ademoglu (1995) and by Başar et al. (2001) will be now applied to oddball P300 results (see Başar-Eroglu et al.

Analysis of event-related potentials (ERP) by damped sinusoids.

Several researchers propose that event-related potentials (ERPs) can be explained by a superposition of transient oscillations at certain frequency bands in response to external or internal events. The transient nature of the ERP is more suitable to be modelled as a sum of damped sinusoids. These damped sinusoids can be completely characterized by four sets of parameters, namely the amplitude, the damping coefficient, the phase and the frequency.

Analysis of pattern reversal visual evoked potentials (PRVEP's) by spline wavelets.

In this study, the pattern-reversal visual evoked potentials (PRVEP's) collected from normal and demented subjects are investigated by applying the quadratic spline wavelet analysis. The data are decomposed into six octave frequency bands. For quantitative purposes, the wavelet coefficients in the residual waveform representing the delta-theta band activity (0-8 Hz) are explored to characterize the (N70-P100-N130) complex.
