A practical VEP-based brain-computer interface.

This paper introduces the development of a practical brain-computer interface at Tsinghua University. The system uses frequency-coded steady-state visual evoked potentials to determine the gaze direction of the user. To ensure more universal applicability of the system, approaches for reducing user variation on system performance have been proposed. The information transfer rate (ITR) has been evaluated both in the laboratory and at the Rehabilitation Center of China, respectively. The system has been proved to be applicable to > 90% of people with a high ITR in living environments.

BCI Competition 2003--Data set IV: an algorithm based on CSSD and FDA for classifying single-trial EEG.

This paper presents an algorithm for classifying single-trial electroencephalogram (EEG) during the preparation of self-paced tapping. It combines common spatial subspace decomposition with Fisher discriminant analysis to extract features from multichannel EEG. Three features are obtained based on Bereitschaftspotential and event-related desynchronization. Finally, a perceptron neural network is trained as the classifier. This algorithm was applied to the data set (self-paced 1s) of "BCI Competition 2003" with a classification accuracy of 84% on the test set.

[The kinetic characteristics of mycelium growth of medicinal mushroom Ganoderma sinense in liquid-submerged cultivation].

The study was carried out to investigate the kinetic characteristics of Ganoderma sinense mycelium growth in liquid-submerged cultivation, using a air-lift bioreactor ALR/ff specially designed for the cultivation of mushrooms' suspending mycelia cultures. Mycelia of G. sinense grew in the range of 25 degrees C-35 degrees C, and at the different temperature in which the specific growth rate showed by the mycelia much differed. The specific growth rates with the maximum of 0.0444(h-1) at 1.64 vvm of aeration in the cultivation were more than at 0.93 vvm, also more than at 2.50 vvm. In comparison with the less glucose concentration, the culture of 2.80 g glucose/100 mL in the medium had a shorter lag-period, and the more concentration of glucose favoured mycelia growth in the latter cultivation course with the denser pellets of mycelia. Then the culture of the less concentration of glucose in the medium had the higher conversion-rates of glucose to G. sinense biomass all along the cultivation course, than of the more concentration of glucose. Futhermore, in the continuous cultivations with growth-limiting substrate of carbon source the mycelia displaying different growing activities, demonstrated the varied forms of mycelium-gathering. In that cases the relationships among mycelia biomass, growth-limiting substrate and productivity of mycelium biomass obviously differed from the ones in the case of bacteria. Also in the range of dilution rates 0.010-0.220 (h-1) the growing of G. sinense mycelia followed the function of Contois equation.
