In order to improve the accuracy of prediction of Liriomyza huidobrensis and to control the Liriomyza huidobrensis effectively, this paper presents a new prediction model by principal components analysis （PCA） and back propagation artificial neural network （BP-ANN） methods. The historical data from 1999 to 2007 on population occurrence are analyzed in order to find out a non-linear relationship between the pest occurrence and the meteorological factors. And then by using analysis results, the prediction model of Liriomyza huidobrensis occurrence in Jianshui in Yunnan is built. The new model has successfully applied to verify the paddy stem borer population occurrence in 2006. Test results show that the new prediction model with BP-ANN and PCA can improve the prediction accuracy.展开更多

In order to have a portable BCI, a simple and efficient pre-amplifier is crucial in practice. In this work, a preamplifier based on the characteristics of EEG signals is designed, which consists of a highly symmetrical input stage, low-pass filter, 50 Hz notch filter and a post amplifier. A prototype of this EEG module is fabricated and EEG data are obtained through an actual experiment. The results demonstrate that the EEG preamplifier will be a promising unit for BCI in the future.展开更多

Based on studies of brain activations of MI, in present study, a complex finger tapping imagery and execution experi- ment is designed to test the brain activation during MI. The experiment results show that during MI, brain activation exists mainly in the supplementary motor area （SMA） and precentral area where the dorsal premotor area （PMd） and the primary motor area （M1） mainly located; and some activation can be also observed in the primary and secondary somatosensory cortex （S1）, the inferior parietal lobule （IPL） and the superior parietal lobule （SPL）. Additionally, more brain activation can be observed during left-hand MI than during right-hand MI, this difference probably is caused by asymmetry of brain.展开更多

As neural activities in the brain accompany with current induced neuronal magnetic fields （NMF）, it is possible to utilize MRI to detect NMF directly thus to improve the temporal resolution. In this work, the contribution of dendrite branch to NMF is investigated by numeric simulation. The results indicate that the existence of dendrite branch may enhance the detectability of NMF by MRI directly.展开更多

Rats, which are exposed to Mozart＇s Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major, complete learning tasks of the Moriss water maze with significantly shorter latencies, and the power spectrum of alpha band of electrohippocampogram （EHG） significantly increase, compared with the control rats and rats exposed to the horror music. The results indicate that if given the stimulation of Mozart music in the developmental period of the auditory cortex, the capability of the spatial learning-memory can be significantly changed. The enhancement of alpha band of EHG may be related to the change of this function mainly.展开更多

However, the needs of animals are indeed insufficiently considered in many reports of animal experiments. In order to evaluate which music rats prefer, we developed a new music preference test system. Dwelling time and visiting frequency can be recorded automatically when rats moving among different compartments of the system. We can also observe the behaviors of rats captured by a video camera. By this system, the music preference can be found, and then the related music can be used in following various studies. In this paper, we described the design of this music preference test system of rat, and some primary results were reported.展开更多

However, CSP is sensitive to outlier and may result in poor outcomes since it is based on pooling the covariance matrices of trials. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective approach, named common spatial pattern ensemble （CSPE） classifier, to improve CSP performance. Through division of recording channels, multiple CSP filters are constructed. By projection, log-operation, and subtraction on the original signal, an ensemble classifier, majority voting, is achieved and outlier contaminations are alleviated. Experiment results demonstrate that the proposed CSPE classifier is robust to various artifacts and can achieve an average accuracy of 83.02%.展开更多

Ten normal male non-musician college students are selected according to questionnaire results after listening absorbedly to four different tempos of an excerpt from a Mozart sonata. EEGs data are recorded when the subjects are listening to the music. The EEG spectral power （SP） is analyzed for alpha band. The varying trend of power spectrum during exposure to music excerpts of different tempos is studied and shows the consistence with the previous tempo-specific hypothesis： a tempo-transformed performance will sound less natural than an original performance does. The results presented in this paper suggest that tempo is an important factor that could influence the alpha rhythm.展开更多

Results showed significant main effects of valence and target, such that critical individuals were rated lower in likeability than praising ones and those targeting others relative to objects were valued less. In particular, those who criticized others were the most unlikeable. Among critical individuals, men were less likeable than women. Similarly, men became less valued while targeting others. Overall these findings suggest that the negative impact of critical attributes may trigger avoidance in social interaction while the positive impact of praise may trigger approach.展开更多

Many of these studies have found significant results, but others argue that music is not significantly better than the tones or control conditions in improving sleep. For further understanding the relationship between music and sleep or music and arousal, the present study therefore examines the effects of brain music on sleep and arousal by means of biofeedback. The music is from the transformation of rapid eye movement （REM） sleep electroencephalogram （EEG） of rats using an algorithm in the Chengdu Brain Music （CBM） system. When the brain music was played back to rats, EEG data were recorded to assess the efficacy of music to induce or improve sleep, or increase arousal levels by sleep staging, etc. Our results demonstrate that exposure to the brain music increases arousal levels and decreases sleep in rats, and the underlying mechanism of decreased non-rapid eye movement （NREM） and REM sleep may be different.展开更多
