Absence of specific alternatively spliced exon of CD44 in macrophages prevents colitis

CD44 is a transmembrane molecule appearing in numerous isoforms generated by insertions of alternatively spliced variant exons (CD44v) and having various binding partners. CD44v7 on T cells was proposed to promote colitis by preventing T-cell apoptosis. He ...

Classification of EEG Signals Using Dempster Shafer Theory and a K-Nearest Neighbor Classiﬁer

Touradj Ebrahimi, Ashkan Yazdani, Ulrich Hoffmann

A brain computer interface (BCI) is a communication system, which translates brain activity into commands for a computer or other devices. Nearly all BCIs contain as a core component a classification algorithm, which is employed to discriminate different b ...

An efficient P300-based brain-computer interface for disabled subjects

Touradj Ebrahimi, Jean-Marc Vesin, Ulrich Hoffmann

A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a communication system that translates brain-activity into commands for a computer or other devices. In other words, a BCI allows users to act on their environment by using only brain-activity, without using peripheral n ...

Bayesian Feature Selection Applied In a P300 Brain- Computer Interface

Touradj Ebrahimi, Jean-Marc Vesin, Ashkan Yazdani, Ulrich Hoffmann

Feature selection is a machine learning technique that has many interesting applications in the area of brain- computer interfaces (BCIs). Here we show how automatic relevance determination (ARD), which is a Bayesian feature selection technique, can be app ...

Face Detection Using Discrete Gabor Jets And Color Information

Touradj Ebrahimi, Ashkan Yazdani, Ulrich Hoffmann

Face detection allows to recognize and detect human faces and provides information about their location in a given image. Many applications such as biometrics, face recognition, and video surveillance employ face detection as one of their main modules. The ...

Bayesian machine learning applied in a brain-computer interface for disabled users

Ulrich Hoffmann

A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a system that enables control of devices or communication with other persons, only through cerebral activity, without using muscles. The main application for BCIs is assistive technology for disabled persons. Examples fo ...

From EEG Dependency Multichannel Matching Pursuit to Sparse Topographic Decomposition

Ulrich Hoffmann

In this work we present a multichannel EEG decomposition model based on an adaptive topographic time-frequency approximation technique. It is an extension of the Matching Pur- suit algorithm and called Dependency Multichannel Matching Pursuit (DMMP). It ta ...
