U.S. high school dropout rate reaches record low, driven by improvements among Hispanics, blacks
More U.S. high school students are staying in school, according to newly released data from the Census Bureau, as the national dropout rate reached a record low last year. Just 7% of the nation's 18-to-24 year olds had dropped out of high school, continuing a steady decline in the nation's dropout rate since 2000, when 12% of youth were dropouts.
The decline in the national dropout rate has been driven, in part, by substantially fewer Hispanic and black youth dropping out of school (the non-Hispanic white dropout rate has not fallen as sharply). Although Hispanics still have the highest dropout rate among all major racial and ethnic groups, it reached a record-low of 14% in 2013, compared with 32% of Hispanic 18- to 24-year-olds who were dropouts in 2000.
The new data show significant progress over the past decade at other measures of educational attainment among Hispanic youth: Not only are fewer dropping out of high school, but more are finishing high school and attending college. The only exception is that Hispanics continue to substantially trail white youth in obtaining bachelor's degrees. Read More →
The best and worst cities for women looking to marry
Young adults who would like to get married naturally start looking for love in the community they live in, but in some parts of the country, the odds may be against them. A new Pew Research Center analysis finds pronounced differences in the ratio between men and women living in the largest U.S. metro areas, especially when it comes to singles who have an attractive characteristic: a job.

5 facts about Indian Americans
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a rapturous reception in New York City on Sunday, speaking to more than 19,000 people — largely Indian Americans, according to The New York Times — at Madison Square Garden. During his packed five-day visit, Modi also addressed the UN General Assembly and met with a bevy of U.S. business leaders Monday morning before heading to an "intimate dinner" with President Obama.
This is the first official trip to the U.S. for Modi, who was elected in May. His visit not only marks an effort to repair strained U.S.-India relations, but also spotlights the growing presence of Indians and Indian Americans in American life. Two sitting governors (Louisiana's Bobby Jindal and South Carolina's Nikki Haley, both Republicans) are of Indian ancestry; so are Preet Bharara, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, and Neel Kashkari, former Treasury Department official and current GOP candidate for California governor.
In 2012, the Pew Research Center released a pair of reports on Asian Americans — one focused on demographics and attitudes, the other on religion. The reports, which drew from 2010 census data and 2012 survey results, included much information about the country's nearly 3.2 million Indian Americans; we've selected a sampling of facts from both reports:
1 Many Indian Americans are recent arrivals. 87.2% of Indian-American adults in 2010 were foreign-born, the highest percentage among the six largest Asian-American groups; 37.6% of those had been in the U.S. 10 years or less. One consequence of so many Indian Americans having arrived so recently: Only 56.2% of adults were U.S. citizens, the lowest share among the six subgroups studied in detail. Read More →

Hispanic immigrants more likely to lack health insurance than U.S.-born
Hispanic immigrants are more than twice as likely to not have health insurance as Hispanics born in the U.S., according figures recently released by the Census Bureau.
This year, one-in-four (25%) Hispanics lack health insurance, the highest rate of any racial or ethnic group, according to the Current Population Survey's March 2014 Annual Social and Economic Supplement. About 14% of the general U.S. population is uninsured.
By contrast, among Hispanics without health insurance, 7 million are immigrants and 6 million are U.S. born. Four-in-ten (39%) Hispanic immigrants lack health insurance compared with 17% of U.S.-born Hispanics. The share is even higher among those without citizenship. Nearly half (49%) of Hispanic immigrants who are not U.S. citizens lack health insurance.

Modi's visit to U.S. builds on positive feelings between Indians and Americans
While Madison Square Garden's sold-out shows usually include headliners like Bruce Springsteen, Madonna or Arcade Fire, Sunday's reception for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to draw an equally massive crowd of nearly 20,000 Indian Americans. Modi's appearance at the midtown Manhattan entertainment venue is part of his first trip to the U.S. as leader of the world's largest democracy and comes at a time when people of both countries continue to see each other in a largely positive light.
In India, a majority of the public (55%) has a favorable view of the U. S., including 30% with a very positive outlook, according to a Pew Research survey conducted last spring. Only 16% see the U.S. unfavorably, while 29% offer no opinion. These high ratings are essentially unchanged from late last year, when 56% of the Indian public gave the U.S. positive marks.

National Congregations Study finds more church acceptance of gays and lesbians
A new survey of American religious congregations conducted by researchers from Duke University and the University of Chicago finds that, in recent years, more churches have become welcoming to openly gay and lesbian couples. These findings parallel broader trends showing greater acceptance among the general public of both homosexuality and same-sex marriage during roughly the same period.
The report, "Changing American Congregations," is part of the ongoing National Congregations Study (NCS). The Pew Research Center's Religion & Public Life Project contributed funding to the study, which involved interviews with a clergyperson or other key member of each of the 1331 congregations surveyed.
The survey found that between 2006 and 2012, the share of congregations allowing an openly gay or lesbian couple to become full-fledged members grew from 37% to 48%. In addition, the number of congregations that allowed openly gay and lesbian members to assume any lay leadership position also increased – from 18% in 2006 to 26% in 2012.

The GOP's Millennial problem runs deep
The Republican Party's struggles in appealing to young people have been well documented. And even those Millennials who do identify as Republicans or lean toward the GOP are decidedly less conservative than older Republicans.
Overall, Millennials (currently ages 18-33) are the most liberal age group. In our report on Political Polarization in the American Public, we used a scale based on 10 political values questions about the role of government, the environment, homosexuality and other issues to measure ideological consistency. This survey of more than 10,000 Americans finds that, on this scale, Millennials are considerably more liberal than other generations: About four-in-ten Millennials are mostly (28%) or consistently (13%) liberal in their views, compared with 15% who are mostly (12%) or consistently (3%) conservative (44% are ideologically mixed). Older generations are progressively more conservative.

Texas moms are most likely to give birth in the same state they were born
How common is it for new parents to put down roots in the same areas that they themselves were born? The answer, according to a new Pew Research analysis, depends on which part of the country they hail from.
New moms who were born in the South are the most likely to nest in the same state their parents did. Texas tops the list — in 2010, 80% of moms who were born in Texas also gave birth in The Lone Star State. In fact, 7 of the 11 states with the highest share of "stayers" are in the South.
Moms born in four Midwestern states along the Rust Belt — Wisconsin (73%), Ohio (73%), Indiana (72%) and Michigan (72%) – are also in the top 11 states.

How social media is reshaping news
The ever-growing digital native news world now boasts about 5,000 digital news sector jobs, according to our recent calculations, 3,000 of which are at 30 big digital-only news outlets. Many of these digital organizations emphasize the importance of social media in storytelling and engaging their audiences. As journalists gather for the annual Online News Association conference, here are answers to five questions about social media and the news.
1 How do social media sites stack up on news? When you take into account both the total reach of a site (the share of Americans who use it) and the proportion of users who get news on the site, Facebook is the obvious news powerhouse among the social media sites. Roughly two-thirds (64%) of U.S. adults use the site, and half of those users get news there — amounting to 30% of the general population.
YouTube is the next biggest social news pathway — about half of Americans use the site, and a fifth of them get news there, which translates to 10% of the adult population and puts the site on par with Twitter. Twitter reaches 16% of Americans and half of those users say they get news there, or 8% of Americans. And although only 3% of the U.S. population use reddit, for those that do, getting news there is a major draw–62% have gotten news from the site.
Is religion's declining influence good or bad? Those without religious affiliation are divided
We've known for some time that the number of Americans who say they have no religion has been growing. But while this group does not identify with a specific religious tradition or denomination, the "nones" are not uniformly against religion having a role in society, a new Pew Research Center survey finds.
We asked all respondents whether religion is gaining or losing influence in American life, and 72% of U.S. adults (including 70% of the religiously unaffiliated) said religion is losing influence. We then asked whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, and, not surprisingly, "nones" were much more likely than other major religious groups to say that the declining influence of religion in American life is a good thing.
The results, however, were not completely one-sided. In fact, religiously unaffiliated people who perceive religion's influence as declining were split on whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. About a third of "nones" overall (34%) said it is good that religion is losing influence, while a similar share (30%) said this is bad. Read More →

Ive had great success from baby yellow plum varieties keeping as little leaf growth and shots as possible and growing runners out on string. has given me very good crops off each plant. But little success from larger varieties my plants seem to end up stunted and with only two or three on it by the end of the summer, any idea's what I could be doing wrong I feed with a branded tomato food as stated and use the same grow bags which contain seaweed. I cant get why the cherry type varietys go mad but I struggle else where. Thanks in advance for any advice
Not sure what you mean by keeping as little leaf growth as possible. The plants need leaves for photosynthesis. You might get away with reduced photosynthesis for smaller varieties but larger ones need as much goodness as they can get from photosynthesis.
Is this the critter you're looking at, jancee?
That's a hornworm. They actually do eat foliage but the big damage they do is to the fruit:
You were lucky you found him before he pulled out his knife and fork, uncorked a Caterpillar Merlot, tucked his serviette into his collar, and tucked in.
Not all sweetcorn turns the typical yellow. Try squeezing one of the kernels with a fingernail. If the liquid inside is a milky colour, it's harvest time. If it's still watery, you're going to have to wait and hope for more warmth.
Sounds like a tomato hornworm. They're everywhere. I used to get them in Australia.
Yes, it's down to temperature. They don't need direct sunlight to ripen. It's why toms will ripen inside on a kitchen bench.
Temperature is what ripens toms, flowergirl. If it's warmer outside than in the shed, they will ripen quicker outside. If the converse is true, the converse applies. Hanging up the plant is really only a means of storing the toms. Out of the ground, the plant will die off within three or four days anyway so there will be no ongoing nutritional benefit.
EDIT. If it's not warm enough outside - and you need at least low-20sC for ripening at an optimum rate - put them anywhere where you'll achieve as close to those temps as you can. In a shed, in the kitchen, bathroom, boiler room, wherever.
The ventilation is the key. As to removing the plants completely, it depends on which pathogen has struck.
If it's Late Blight, definitely get rid of the plant ASAP. If it's a more common and less destructive pathogen like Early Blight, Septoria Leaf Spot, or even Leaf Mould, one of the very common problems in greenhouses and just about unique to greenhouse toms, you can keep it in check by removing and destroying affected foliage as soon as it appears. These diseases don't ravage plants to anything like the extent that Late Blight will. In fact, with care, most plants will live a normal, productive life.
To be honest, I'm not convinced of the banana routine. I tried it a few years ago as an experiment. Two toms, same variety, same degree of ripeness. One in a bag with a banana, the other one au naturel. There was little difference in the outcome.
But if the banana were to be tried, it needs to be in the confines of something like a bag with the tomato in order to maximise the effect of any ethlyene gas. Otherwise it just wafts into the atmosphere.

Unless you want to spray preventively against fungal problems, all you can do is basic housekeeping. As WD says above, ventilation is a fundamental. More the better. Air circulation is a big help against the fungal spores settling on foliage. I've known people to keep an electric fan set on low to keep the air moving.
Beyond that, keep as much space between tom plants as possible - at least 3' hopefully - and try to avoid great wads of foliage developing on plants by judicious removal of branches and leaves. The thicker the foliage, the less the air can circulate.
Never ever wet the foliage. Damp foliage is heaven for fungal spores.
Try to keep a gap of about a foot between the lowest foliage and the soil. Fungal spores can and will fall from the foliage to the soil underneath and they can splash back up again when watering. The gap helps against this.
The problem with greenhouses is that the closed environment can be an incubator for diseases. That's what you have to work against.

This article is an improved edition of my article: Play Wave file with DirectSound and Display its Spectrum in Real Time. In this article, I reference Sun's JDK source code, YoYoPlayer, NewAC, KJ DSP, and so on. And, some code comes from there too.
The article includes four parts:
The latest version about this series can be found at this link: Play Audio Files with DirectSound and Display its Spectrum in Real Time - Part 3.
In this article, I use two threads, one to manage sound play, and the second to manage audio data for sample analysis. The class CThread is the father class of all child classes. Another important thing is, I declare those two threads as friend classes of CBasicPlayer; with this declaration, I can use the private or protected members of CBasicPlayer in the threads. First, let us see the sound play thread. In this thread, I call DAUDIO_GetDirectAudioDeviceCount to get all the available output devices and cache them in memory, then call DAUDIO_Open to open the first (default) output device for output, call DAUDIO_Start to start output. See this code below:
void CPlayThread::Execute() { if(m_Player == NULL) return; if(m_Stop == TRUE) return; const DWORD buffersize = 16000; SetFilePointer(m_Player->GetFileHandle(), 44, NULL, FILE_BEGIN); INT32 count = DAUDIO_GetDirectAudioDeviceCount(); // wait time = 1/4 of buffer time DWORD waitTime = (DWORD)((m_Player->m_BufferSize*1000.0F)/ (m_Player->m_SampleRate*m_Player->m_FrameSize)); waitTime = (DWORD)(waitTime / 4); if(waitTime<10) waitTime = 1; if(waitTime>1000) waitTime = 1000; m_Player->m_info = (DS_Info*)DAUDIO_Open(0, 0 , TRUE, DAUDIO_PCM, m_Player->m_SampleRate, m_Player->m_BitPerSample, m_Player->m_FrameSize, m_Player->m_Channels, TRUE, FALSE, m_Player->m_BufferSize); m_Player->m_bytePosition = 0; if(DAUDIO_Start((void*)m_Player->m_info, TRUE)) { m_Player->m_SpectrumAnalyserThread->Resume(); printf("start play ...\n"); char buffer[buffersize]; while(!m_Stop) { DWORD dwRead; if(ReadFile(m_Player->GetFileHandle(), (void*)buffer, buffersize, &dwRead, NULL) == FALSE) break; if(dwRead <= 0) break; DWORD len = dwRead; DWORD offset = 0; DWORD written = 0; /* * in this loop, the data may not be written to device one time, * maybe more than one time. So, we need this loop to process it. */ while(TRUE) { m_cs->Enter(); int thisWritten = DAUDIO_Write((void*)m_Player->m_info, buffer+offset, len); if(thisWritten < 0) break; m_Player->m_bytePosition += thisWritten; m_cs->Leave(); len -= thisWritten; written += thisWritten; if(len > 0) { offset += thisWritten; m_cs->Enter(); Sleep(waitTime); m_cs->Leave(); } else break; } //copy audio data to audio buffer //for audio data synchronize DWORD pLength = dwRead; jbyte* pAudioDataBuffer = pSpectrum->GetAudioDataBuffer(); if(pAudioDataBuffer != NULL) { int wOverrun = 0; int iPosition = pSpectrum->GetPosition(); DWORD dwAudioDataBufferLength = pSpectrum->GetAudioDataBufferLength(); if (iPosition + pLength > (int)(dwAudioDataBufferLength - 1)) { wOverrun = (iPosition + pLength) - dwAudioDataBufferLength; pLength = dwAudioDataBufferLength - iPosition; } memcpy(pAudioDataBuffer + iPosition, buffer, pLength); if (wOverrun > 0) { memcpy(pAudioDataBuffer, buffer + pLength, wOverrun); pSpectrum->SetPosition(wOverrun); } else { pSpectrum->SetPosition(iPosition + pLength); } } } m_Player->m_SpectrumAnalyserThread->Stop(); DAUDIO_Stop((void*)m_Player->m_info, TRUE); DAUDIO_Close((void*)m_Player->m_info, TRUE); m_Player->m_bytePosition = 0; printf("stop play.\n"); } m_Player->m_info = NULL; }
In the sound play loop, first we read the audio data into a buffer, and then write it to the output device, then copy the audio data to a data buffer for audio data synchronization. Now, let us see the sample data analysis thread. The source code for this comes from YoYoPlayer, from AudioChart.java and KJDigitalSignalProcessingAudioDataConsumer.java. The only work done was to transform the Java code to C++ code. The most important point is the class CSystem, which gets the system time in nanoseconds for accurate position calculations. Its source code comes from Sun's JDK source code, and I did modify it to fit this application. The class CSystem is defined below:
typedef __int64 jlong; typedef unsigned int juint; typedef unsigned __int64 julong; typedef long jint; #define CONST64(x) (x ## LL) #define NANOS_PER_SEC CONST64(1000000000) #define NANOS_PER_MILLISEC 1000000 jlong as_long(LARGE_INTEGER x); void set_high(jlong* value, jint high); void set_low(jlong* value, jint low); class CSystem { private: static jlong frequency; static int ready; static void init() { LARGE_INTEGER liFrequency = {0}; QueryPerformanceFrequency(&liFrequency); frequency = as_long(liFrequency); ready = 1; } public: static jlong nanoTime() { if(ready != 1) init(); LARGE_INTEGER liCounter = {0}; QueryPerformanceCounter(&liCounter); double current = as_long(liCounter); double freq = frequency; return (jlong)((current / freq) * NANOS_PER_SEC); } };
You just call CSystem::nanoTime() to get the current system time in nanoseconds. It's accurate!
FFTs play an important role in digital signal processing (DSP). The class CFastFourierTransform implements it; its source code comes from KJFFT.java. The only work done here is code transformation. And, it is easy to use. Go here for a detailed theory of the FFT algorithm.
The whole source code comes from Sun's JDK source code. In early days, I found an open source code project – YoYoPlayer, which can play sound files like MP3s, Wav, OGG, and so on. When I went deep inside the source code, I found the code call native code (Win32 code) to play sounds. And, I found the native code in the JDK source code. The wrapper includes some functions to maintain sound play with Direct Sound, so this application needs DirectX 6 or higher.
The source code partly comes from YoYoPlayer. See the source code below:
The first step is to compute sample data with FFT, then do some work with FFT result.
void CSpectrumAnalyser::Process(float pFrameRateRatioHint) { if(IsIconic(m_Player->m_hWnd) == TRUE) return; for (int a = 0; a < m_SampleSize; a++) { m_Left[a] = (m_Left[a] + m_Right[a]) / 2.0f; } float c = 0; float pFrrh = pFrameRateRatioHint; float* wFFT = m_FFT->Calculate(m_Left, m_SampleSize); float wSadfrr = m_saDecay * pFrrh; float wBw = ((float) m_width / (float) m_saBands); RECT rect; rect.left = 0; rect.top = 0; rect.right = rect.left + m_winwidth; rect.bottom = rect.top + m_winheight; FillRect(m_hdcMem, &rect, m_hbrush); for (int a = 0, bd = 0; bd < m_saBands; a += (INT)m_saMultiplier, bd++) { float wFs = 0; for (int b = 0; b < (INT)m_saMultiplier; b++) { wFs += wFFT[a + b]; } wFs = (wFs * (float) log(bd + 2.0F)); if(wFs <= 0.01F) wFs *= 10.0F; else wFs *= PI; //enlarge PI times, if do not, //the bar display abnormally, why?? if (wFs > 1.0f) { wFs = 1.0f; } if (wFs >= (m_oldFFT[a] - wSadfrr)) { m_oldFFT[a] = wFs; } else { m_oldFFT[a] -= wSadfrr; if (m_oldFFT[a] < 0) { m_oldFFT[a] = 0; } wFs = m_oldFFT[a]; } drawSpectrumAnalyserBar(&rect, (int) c, m_height, (int) wBw - 1, (int) (wFs * m_height), bd); c += wBw; } BitBlt(m_hdcScreen, 2, 41, m_winwidth, m_winheight, m_hdcMem, 0, 0, SRCCOPY); }
The next step is to draw the spectrum bar, in this part I draw a gradient in memory bitmap when instance CSpectrumAnalyser, here, calls BitBlt copy memory bitmap and draws to another memory bitmap.
void CSpectrumAnalyser::drawSpectrumAnalyserBar(RECT* pRect, int pX, int pY, int pWidth, int pHeight, int band) { /* draw gradient bar */ BitBlt(m_hdcMem, pX, pY-pHeight, pWidth, pHeight, m_hdcMem1, pX, pY-pHeight, SRCCOPY); if (m_peaksEnabled == TRUE) { if (pHeight > m_peaks[band]) { m_peaks[band] = pHeight; m_peaksDelay[band] = m_peakDelay; } else { m_peaksDelay[band]--; if (m_peaksDelay[band] < 0) { m_peaks[band]--; } if (m_peaks[band] < 0) { m_peaks[band] = 0; } } RECT rect = {0}; rect.left = pX; rect.right = rect.left + pWidth; rect.top = pY - m_peaks[band]; rect.bottom = rect.top + 1; FillRect(m_hdcMem, &rect, m_hbrush1); } }
When you want to speed up or slow down the spectrum display, change DEFAULT_FPS defined in the file BasicPlayer.h. And, increase or decrease the spectrum bar count, and change DEFAULT_SPECTRUM_ANALYSER_BAND_COUNT defined in BasicPlayer.h. Many parameters are waiting for you to find them out.
An existing problem with the code in this article is some frequencies are not processed. The article Multimedia PeakMeter control shows how to process frequencies that you want by using pre-defined frequencies.

Headphones can extend the time you can listen to music without disturbing others, and they can help ensure that others don't disturb you! Some models simulate home cinema surround sound, while others use a wireless system that allows you to enjoy your music while you're in another room or even outside mowing the lawn. These days we also sell a wide range of headphones that we recommend to upgrade those supplied with iPods and the like and these can make a huge difference to the sound.

The Mexican restaurant looked great. Only one problem: It wasn't open. So I jotted down the name for another day. Just then, a man came out of the restaurant and took a peek at what I'd written.
"That's not the name of the restaurant," he said, pointing to the sign over the door. "That's Spanish for 'Closed on Mondays.'"

It just seems so different to here in Wales - we send a bigger percentage (compared to our population) of young people (both men and women these days) to the armed forces than any other part of the UK and, in general they are treated with great respect.

This was the first Veteran's Day where there wasn't a living WWI survivor. Time passes but a solider's sacrifices are not diminshed. I thank you all (including my hubby and step-daughter who were both in the AF).
Builder I am sorry that you were drafted in the war. My brother was as well. I was about 7 when he came home and I still remember the 60 foot Christmas tree that we had in the front lawn so that we could celebrate the Christmas' that he had missed. It wasn't until I was older that I understood that not all returning vets had the same experience. May I say now to you Welcome Home, and thank you.

People should realize that it wasnt the fault of 18 yr old kids that were lied to and told they were fighting for their country. They had no knowledge of things outside their own little worlds and were powerless to do anything about it. I never learned what it was really about until many years later and a lot of kids died for no reason while older entrepreneurs made huge fortunes in defense contracts. |

Hot answers tagged eeg
There is no better way to describe brain activity than brain waves! :)
There are newer ways to analyze and think about brain waves, though. Usually you will find these under literature on neuronal oscillations.
Good aspects of thinking about brain activity using brain waves:
Brain waves are directly related to neural activity. They are an electric or ...
Yes and no. Source estimation has been utilized in electrical engineering for decades, but is becoming more and more prevalent in the EEG realm, especially in light of efforts to register EEG readings with concurrent fMRI studies.
Basically, given a set of EEG (or even MEG, magnetoencephalographic) measurements, can we "invert" them to find the individual ...
This very much depends on what, exactly, you're trying to do.
EEG measurements tend to be extremely reliable, but the inferences one may draw on mental state are not necessarily so.
EEG-driven BCI overwhelmingly relies on machine learning to correctly classify signals into a finite number of categories and act upon them. Typically, you'll do something ...
In short: we know that eye-blinks are reflected frontally in the EEG data and we use that knowledge to identify which components reflect for example eye-blinks. It would not make sense to identify a component related to eye-blinks on the back of the head - there would be something wrong with your data.
What ICA does is (data driven) estimate a number of ...
Antoine Tremblay has just released an advanced analysis toolbox: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/psyp.12299/abstract
It's missing about half the features on your list, although fundamentally, spectral density is a simple task and LORETA is a stand-alone package anyways (although similar approaches, e.g. general CSD estimation, are implemented in ...
Programs/packages for EEG analysis
There are decent MatLab toolboxes with good tutorials for for the analysis of EEG data. The EEGLAB toolbox (tutorial) can be operated by both GUI and command-line (and script). The fieldtrip toolbox (tutorial) is mainly operated by command line / script.
Of course there are also (commercial) software packages for EEG ...
As often in this area, the problem seems to be entirely created by confusions about definitions and terminology and the difficulties resulting from the use of common-sense concepts like "surprise" in scientific theories. One answer would be "Why not?" Basically you seem to object to the definition of surprise used by some theorists but definitions are ...
I use the FieldTrip toolbox in Matlab to analyze my own modified auditory MMN experiment :) But I use MEG, so I don't have that many software options. The toolbox is very powerful but it has a steep learning curve and I would recommend it only if you already have both Matlab and EEG data analysis experience.
I don't analyze my data in the classical MMN way ...
The field of study you should focus on is the one for which you have already identified in your paragraph above which is EEG based "brain-computer interface".
EEG signals are compared by their "features". Each of the signal you have provided above have different features. These features can be mean, variance, frequency, kurtosis, skewness of each of the ...
I'm only going to attempt to answer a small part of your question: how does glial activation affect the blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) response measured by fMRI?
Schulz et al. (2012) were able to investigate the role of glial signaling on fMRI activity by simultaneously measuring neuronal responses with invasive optical imaging and fMRI. They found ...
They are ordered based on when they were discovered/named (as pointed about by Ana's comment). Alpha and beta waves were among the first signals observed in EEG data. From Wikipedia:
Alpha waves were discovered by German neurologist Hans Berger, most famous for his invention of the EEG. Alpha waves were among the first waves documented by Berger, along ...
Appraisal theory argues that a cognitive mechanism assesses the meaning of a situation before initiating an emotion. It does not argue that this mechanism operates consciously, so demonstrating that it doesn't doesn't impinge on the validity of appraisal theory at all.
Mismatch negativity may be part of the process leading to surprise, but noting ...
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned spiking activity. The spatial and temporal resolutions are phenomenal.
The technology to record action potentials simultaneously from many neurons over many cortical areas is growing. Much of theoretical neuroscience deals with how those patterns of spiking convey information.
As with the other answers, I will add ...
How many trials do you have per condition? With a small number of trials in the deviant condition, and a small number of participants, these things can happen.
The ISI would not cause this per se, however, have you considered looking at effects of the previous trial? You can analyze the baseline intervals as a function of what type the previous trial was, ...
Steven J. Luck's "An Introduction to the Event-Related Potential Technique" is a great beginner's book on EEG. It's basic but not too simple, and it goes into the structure of the signals as well as into issues on experimental design.
Disclaimer: These are my preferences, biased by my own research experience.
In general, I am not a fan of block designs. Blocking introduces difficulty in comparing both neural and behavioural activity between blocks due to effects of practice, fatigue, adaptation, learning, boredom, muscle tension and possibly others. It is of course possible to ...
Yes, and no. Biofeedback has been an active field of research since the 70s, but has been a bit "fringified" as a cure for ADHD, etc.
It is possible to fine tune the brain activity for specific tasks. To borrow an example from BCI, the Rolandic Mu Rhythm can be used to "train" a user to refine the movement of a cursor or other pointing device.

Michelle Heijblom's (2009) master thesis on Visualising tinnitus with fMRI and EEG mentions the following:
Different studies report that tinnitus is characterised by an increase
in slow-wave activity (0.5- 4Hz: delta activity) and a decrease in
alpha activity (8-12 Hz) at temporal regions. Recently it has been
suggested that this loss of alpha ...
are two libraries with tons of functions for analyzing eeg and emg data
I've used the Zeo (http://www.myzeo.com/sleep/). It seems to work pretty well. It tracks which stage of sleep you are using a very basic EEG. There are some details on how it operates here: http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/10/how-the-zeo-sleep-device-works.html
As I said, I've used it in the past and from what I can tell, it seems to be pretty accurate, ...
If I understand your question correctly, yes, since ERP involves averaging over similar events, very accurate time-locking to stimulus onset is critical. The idea of an ERP is that activity relevant to the stimulus will happen at a similar timepoint after similar stimuli--if you don't have an accurate time stamp (usually to the level of single milliseconds ...
The Emotiv system has been evaluated in a research setting. Badcock et al. (2013) recorded EEG activity with the Emotiv EPOC and a more conventional laboratory system simultaneously, and found that both systems produced similar results for ERPs with a relatively high signal-to-noise ratio, but it was harder to detect less reliable signals with the EPOC than ...
Do you mean evoked potentials, or event-related potentials, or just straight-up EEG? The general way to distinguish between the two is that EEG will tell you about state (aroused, asleep, etc) where evoked or event-related potentials will tell you about operations (processing sound/language/etc); evoked or event-related potentials also generally require ...
We were looking for an EEG device few years ago. The commercial offers were between 20,000 EUR for a 32 passive electrode to 50,000 EUR for an 64/128 active electrode. This included everything except the computers - some offers were without off-line data processing software. I never considered the EEG systems that were not mentioned in the method section of ...
Point by point:
The Melon headband has three electrodes. Our primary electrode is on the forehead region known as FP1, where Melon can monitor brainwave activity from the prefrontal cortex.
The problem with this is that electricity doesn't work like that. Current always flows between two points, and our electrodes measure the potential between two ...
You can't.
Flatline EEG is how brain death is defined, and while it may be possible to induce an eye blink in a deceased human, I am sure ethics will not approve, and it won't be scientifically satisfactory.
even in the case of a real flatline EEG, there will always be some remaining residual activity (albeit very weak), such as line noise.
As far as I know, short answer is no - there is no gold standard for EEG files. But EEG is a time series (amplitude) from several channels. So the most common way to represent it is columns as electrodes and rows as points of time. I think almost all software is possible to read such structure as txt file. But EEG is not only time series. Usually it is ...
Bearing in mind the fact that I can't prove a negative, I'm going to say "No, it's not (yet) possible".
Flow is rather loosely defined (e.g. "merging of action and awareness"), so coming up with hard measures is a challenge in and of itself -- even without bringing electrophysiology into the equasion. As a Positive Psychology concept, it belongs to the ...
The gold standard of sleep studies is polysomnography- using multiple sensors together to score sleep stages. It's very expensive and requires a lab. A night in a sleep lab costs about 3000$, last time I checked.
Actigraphy is a cheaper way of monitoring sleep by looking at the users motion. When 19 out of 20 minutes are scored as "no activity", the first ...

That's not to say the Dugout has straight-up inherited the crowd that populated Goo. While there has been some migration since the latter shuttered near the end of July, the Doral spot doesn't really trade in gritty hardcore and thrash as much as a certain kind of metal-punk with a suburban edge. It's a brand that centers around a regular roster of local bands, many of them ganging together next Saturday -- including Behold the Ruins, Great Divine, Bell Towers Fall, Powa Kord, and Fuel the Flames as well as Faithscar, Zealot, the Perfect Defect, Handgun, and Murder at First Sight.

I'm lending my 70-300mm VR to a friend with a D5000. The 70-300mm is refusing to auto-focus on the D5000. I don't have a D5000 so I don't know its settings or anything, and I don't have my own camera with me to see what might going on. But as far as I know the lens works fine. Anybody know what could be going on?— LaDonna_________________________________A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
Visit my Nikonians gallery.
Is that lens a screw drive focus? If so itbwill not af on some bodies that require the lens to have its owm focus motor
Sheri Becker
The VR version of this lens was only made with the AFS built in motor. It should work fine on a D5000. LaDonna, Make sure your friend has the D5000 set to one of the AF modes which can be set by pressing the i button and setting the mode in the LCD screen. Also make sure the M/A-M switch on the lens is set to M/A. If that doesn't work then let us know.Len
*Hello LaDonnaA simple question:Does the friend have a AF lens that is working normally with the D5000?If the answer is "yes", I cannot help you.Should the answer be "no" because that friend has no AF lens, then yourshould: check menu configuration and check the AF switch on both the camera and the lens.Good luck!KodiakGroovy ShootingsImage Médiawww.kodiakmedia.at In photography, light is free but catching it is not!
Thanks everybody for getting back to me! And in particular thanks to Daniel for giving me the most efficient problem-solving workflow. Seems easy after the fact. I'll have to remember that one.Yes, he had another AF lens with him, and it did just fine. So I've brought the lens home and (no drum roll necessary) it doesn't AF on my camera either. I see a trip to Nikon Service in my future … LaDonna_________________________________A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
*Most welcome!Good luck.KodiakGroovy ShootingsImage Médiawww.kodiakmedia.at In photography, light is free but catching it is not!
Hi LaDonna,You might want to verify that all of the electrical contacts on the lens project out the same distance. They are spring loaded and can get jammed in, possibly causing AF to malfunction.You could also use a drop of DeOxit on a Q-tip to clean the electrical contacts just in case they are oxidized.
Best Regards,Marty
