Closed-Loop Deep Brain Stimulation: Bidirectional Neuroprosthetics for Tremor and BCI
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become a widely adopted method for treating a variety of neurological and movement disorders. However, current clinically deployed systems are open-loop and do not take into account the ... -
Coherent Demodulation of Nonstationary Random Processes
(2012-09-13)Nonstationary processes have local properties which change over time. An example is speech, which can be represented as pitch harmonics multiplied by slower-varying syllabic modulations. Commonly-used power spectral analysis ... -
Complexity reduction in fuzzy inference systems
(2004)Despite ever-growing processor speed, application of fuzzy technology is still hindered by rule explosion, the phenomenon in which an increase in the number of antecedents results in the exponential growth of the number ... -
Compressive Detection and Estimation with Applications to Cognitive Radio and Radar
(2013-07-25)According to Nyquist Sampling theorem, a band-limited signal can be reconstructed accurately if the sampling rate exceeds twice the maximum frequency of the signal. In many scenarios, this Nyquist sampling rate cannot be ... -
The concept and feasibility of automated electrical plat design via an intelligent decision support system approach
(1990)The design of underground electrical supply for residential development is presently carried out manually, resulting often in an overdesigned, costly, and nonstandardized solution. Up to now no comprehensive computerized ... -
