Environmental remote sensing of the Mediterranean Sea.

Remote sensing provides an overview of environmental complexities in the Mediterranean region, relating to its natural setting and to water exchanges within the basin; to typical ecological processes and their key driving forces; to environmental problems faced by the main sub-basins. Statistics of pigment concentration, surface temperature, and wind speed, derived from historical archives, differentiate between geographical provinces shaped by dynamical and bio-geochemical patterns. These are areas under the direct influence of coastal interactions, regions of enhanced characteristics linked to the impact of continental margins and/or prevailing winds, and open sea areas, characterized by frontal structures and mesoscale eddies.

Relevant EEG features for the classification of spontaneous motor-related tasks.

There is a growing interest in the use of physiological signals for communication and operation of devices for the severely motor disabled as well as for healthy people. A few groups around the world have developed brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that rely upon the recognition of motor-related tasks (i.e.
