Removal of the ocular artifacts from EEG data using a cascaded spatio-temporal processing.

Eye movements and blinks may produce unusual voltage changes in human electroencephalogram (EEG). These effects may spread across scalp and mask brain signals. In this paper, a cascaded spatio-temporal processing procedure (CAST) is presented to remove artifact electrooculogram (EOG). Firstly a discrete equivalent distributed source on the cortical surface is reconstructed from the contaminated scalp recordings by a linear minimum norm estimation (i.e. a spatial analysis step). Then, the equivalent sources of EOG are identified by principal component analysis (PCA) of the equivalent distributed source time series (i.e. a temporal analysis step). Finally, the EOG-corrected scalp EEG is reconstructed from the equivalent distributed source where EOG components have been removed. The effectiveness of CAST is confirmed by the application to actual scalp data and a detailed comparative study.

Scale-up of L-lactic acid production by mutant strain Rhizopus sp. MK-96-1196 from 0.003 m3 to 5 m3 in airlift bioreactors.

In order to study the feasibility of commercial-scale L-lactic acid production by Rhizopus sp. MK-96-1196 using large scale airlift bioreactors (ALBs), a scale-up study from 0.003 m3 to 5 m3 ALB was carried out using oxygen transfer rate (OTR) as the scale-up criterion. Enhanced L-lactic acid production was achieved at OTRs higher than 0.28 (g-O2/l/h) irrespective of the scale of the bioreactor in question: in the range of 0.003 m3 to 5 m3, more than 90 g/lL-lactic acid was produced with a yield of approximately 80%, based on the initial glucose concentration. In future research, we plan to design an ALB greater than 3000 m3 (working volume: 2000 m3) for further studies on the production of L-lactic acid in large quantities.

[A 3D tomography technique based study on event-related potential in attention].

In this paper the event-related potential (ERP) of selective attention to the left and right visual field is investigated with 3D tomography technique. The results show that compared with the scalp surface ERP data, the current source intensity derived from tomography can better reflect the enhanced effect of P1 and N1, especially N1. Moreover, C1 component can be observed in the results, which cannot be identified in the scalp data.
