Yueling Zhang, Keiji Iramina , Linear Relationship between Corticomusclar Coherence and Upper Limb Voluntary Contraction, BMEiCON2023, 2023.10, In this study, we investigated ‘pain recall' that results from showing a painful image and evoking pain without actually giving any pain, that is said to be similar to the brain activity that actually causes pain. The experiment involved 12 students showing three short videos in which a child, a female, or a male was being injected. We measured the degree of emotional changes by watching the painful scene in three ways: emotion estimation by facial expression, GSR (Galvanic Skin Response) and Eye tracking. The results showed that subjects felt the same fear and tension as when feeling pain. On the other hand, subjects felt less painful emotions when they looked at the scene that a man with solid arms was injected. The degree of emotion in pain recall varied depending on who received the injection in the short videos. These results suggest that pain may be reduced by showing some body image as visual information. It is possible to alleviate actual pain by applying how to reduce ‘pain recall'. . |

However, the CCA method only chooses the frequency in the reference mode that corresponds to the maximum correlation value as the target. This may make the CCA output less robust. In this study, we propose a one-class support vector machine based filter to filter the sequences of correlation values in the process of the detection of SSVEP signals. The results demonstrate that the classification accuracy improved over different time windows for all subjects and the improvement achieved approximately 10% for some subjects. Moreover, the ratio of instructions that were filtered incorrectly was relative low (less than 5%) if the SSVEP signals were generated effectively.. |

This behavior is called action understanding, and it has an important influence on mental development, language comprehension, and socialization. In this study, we used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to obtain brain signals related to action understanding and then classified different intentions. Aiming to overcome the drawbacks of traditional multiclass classification methods of one-versus-rest (OVR) and one-versus-one (OVO), in this paper, we propose a new effective method to solve multiclass classification that is a combination of OVR and OVO. Compared with OVO, this new method effectively improved the accuracy of four-class classification from 25% to 48%.. |

Many scientists have speculated that behavior therapy is an essential part of treatment for people with ADHD. One of the promising behavioral therapy is neurofeedback therapy. Using neurofeedback, therapist can learn how to modulate patients' brain activity by adjusting the training regimen. Identifying when a patient achieve implicit learning event can potentially help in designing the neurofeedback treatment to help people with ADHD. According to past research, it was speculated that implicit learning and children with ADHD could have an atypical relationship. The aim of this paper to analyze response times of healthy people while they perform cognitive tasks to differentiate between people who has gained implicit knowledge and those who did not. The data showed that there is a clear distinction between people who had gained implicit knowledge and those that did not.. |

Several studies have confirmed that alpha rhythms play an active role in memory mechanism. In the present study, we designed a digit verbal span experiment to find out that how the alpha power change during working memory encoding, and the relationship between alpha power and individual WM performance. Consistent with previous studies, our results confirm that alpha power is positively related to WM performance. Participants who had higher alpha power during WM encoding achieved better memory performance. We can conclude that the reason is alpha rhythms reflect inhibition of task-irrelevant information. Howbeit, a linear relationship between WM load and alpha power amplitude during memory encoding cannot be deduced in our experiment.. |

In this study, we aimed to provide additional scientific evidence with more insight on how the brain functions at a good/bad cognitive state than the usual statistical analysis. We introduced the brain activation measurement using baseline-normalized ERSP to determine the activation of EEG data from stimuli. These active points over a period of time could reflect brain synchronization due to stimuli. We also demonstrated the use of proposed measure on attention working memory data. The results indicate the potential of using the proposed measurement in categorizing the brain cognitive state and identifying some important factors to provide additional evidence to the field in the future.. |

We previously developed a robotic hand rehabilitation system triggered by multichannel near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to address this demand. In a preliminary prototype system, a robotic hand orthosis, providing one degree-of-freedom motion for a hand's closing and opening, is triggered by a wireless command from a NIRS system, capturing a subject's motor cortex activation. To examine the feasibility of the prototype, we conducted a preliminary test involving six neurologically intact participants. The test comprised a series of evaluations for two aspects of neurorehabilitation training in a real-time manner: classification accuracy and execution time. The effects of classification-related factors, namely the algorithm, signal type, and number of NIRS channels, were investigated. In the comparison of algorithms, linear discrimination analysis performed better than the support vector machine in terms of both accuracy and training time. The oxyhemoglobin versus deoxyhemoglobin comparison revealed that the two concentrations almost equally contribute to the hand motion estimation. The relationship between the number of NIRS channels and accuracy indicated that a certain number of channels are needed and suggested a need for a method of selecting informative channels. The computation time of 5.84 ms was acceptable for our purpose. Overall, the preliminary prototype showed sufficient feasibility for further development and clinical testing with stroke patients.. |

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether peripheral magnetic stimulation has similar effects on cortical excitability to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). A magnetic stimulator with a flat figure-of-eight coil was used for both TMS, and peripheral magnetic stimulation applied to the bilateral forearms. TMS was performed on the left primary motor cortex to evaluate influence of the peripheral magnetic stimulation, and motor evoked potential (MEP) was measured from the right first dorsal interosseous. Peripheral magnetic stimulation was performed at a stimulus frequency of 1 Hz or 10 Hz, to the stimulus sites on the right and left supination of the forearm. The effects of peripheral magnetic stimulation were evaluated by comparing the mean MEP amplitude elicited by TMS before and after peripheral magnetic stimulation. We found that cortical excitability varied according to the stimulation site and frequency of the peripheral magnetic stimulation. The inhibition of cortical excitability was observed following 1 Hz peripheral magnetic stimulation over the right forearm (p |

Ruimin Wang, Keiji Iramina, Sheng Ge, An Improved Multiple LASSO Model for Steady-State Visual Evoked Potential Detection, The 6th International Conference on the Development of Biomedical Engineering, 2016.06, Improving the classification accuracy in brain–computer interface (BCI) with a short data length is important to increase the BCI system’s information transfer rate. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) has been examined to be an effective way to detect the steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) signals with a short time window. In this paper, an improved multiple LASSO model for SSVEP detection is proposed, which can process multichannel electroencephalogram (EEG) signals without electrode selection. EEG data from twelve healthy volunteers were used to test the improvedmultiple LASSO model. Compared with the traditional LASSO model, the improved multiple LASSO model gives a significantly better performance with multichannel EEG data.. |

Takehito Hayami, Keiji Iramina, Xian Chen, Computer Simulation of Nerve Conduction Study of a Sural Nerve to Evaluate Human Peripheral Nervous System, The 6th International Conference on the Development of Biomedical Engineering, 2016.06, Nerve conduction study is a test to examine the function of electric signal transmission at the trunk of a peripheral nerve, which is an effective method for the diagnosis of diabetes to quantify the peripheral numbness and to evaluate the stage of this complication. In a routine test, the feature to measure in the electric potential waveform observed in this test is limited to the velocity and the amplitude of the peaks. To make the measurement more precise, the production process of the electric potential waveform should be observed carefully. In this study, nerve conduction study of a sural nerve, which is the most popular for the patients with diabetes, was simulated in a computer using general cable equation and neuroanatomical data. As a result, the approximate electric
potential waveform was reproduced, whereas the conduction velocity of the peaks was not completely conformed to the physiological data.. |

Aya Sato, Xiangqum Liu, Masakuni Iwahashi, Keiji Iramina, Alteration of the Motor Cortex Excitability by Modulation of the Stimulus Parameter of Peripheral Stimulation, The 6th International Conference on the Development of Biomedical Engineering, 2016.06, Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is known to elicit a conditioning effect on cortical excitability. The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in cortical excitability induced by peripheral stimulation with differing frequency and stimulation site. A magnetic stimulator with a flat figure-eight coil was used for TMS and was performed on the left primary motor cortex. The electrical stimulation and magnetic stimulation were used in peripheral stimulation and the stimulus sites were the right and left supination of the forearm. Peripheral stimulation was performed at a stimulus frequency of 1 Hz or 10 Hz. Alterations of cortical excitability induced by peripheral stimulation were evaluated by comparing the mean of the motor evoked potential amplitude elicited by TMS each before and after peripheral stimulation. We found that cortical excitability varied according to the stimulation site and frequency in both the electrical and magnetic stimulation over the forearm. The inhibition of cortical excitability
was observed in both 1 Hz electrical and magnetic stimulation over the right forearm. In contrast, the facilitation of cortical excitability was observed at 1 Hz electrical and magnetic stimulation over the left forearm, and it was confirmed for both the right and left forearms at 10 Hz electrical and magnetic stimulation. Moreover, regarding the alteration of cortical excitability induced by peripheral stimulation, it was confirmed that magnetic stimulation has more the significant difference than electrical stimulation. We suggest that peripheral stimulation by electrical and magnetic stimulation have a similar effect to TMS, and can induce both facilitation and inhibition of cortical excitability. Moreover, in the case of peripheral stimulation of the same stimulus frequency, we expect that the magnetic stimulation has more the significant effect than electrical stimulation to cortical excitability.. |

, 8th Biomedical Engineering International Conference, 2015.11, This study proposed an alternative approach for analyzing visual working memory based on brain complexity to identify brain state condition for memorizing new scenes. Multi-scale entropy (MSE) was used for analyzing the complexity of Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) data which measured the hemodynamic response of brain during a cognitive experiment. The results revealed the distinctive entropy between remembered and forgotten cases in prefrontal area at FC3 position. The entropy of remembered case is higher than forgotten case; this could indicate that the brain requires more activity and then more hemodynamic responses for good memorizing. Hence, the results indicated the potential of using the complexity of NIRS for characterizing the brain state for working memory. . |

, 8th Biomedical Engineering International Conference, 2015.11, By using fractal dimension and sample entropy, we investigated the complexity electroencephalogram (EEG) during an activity that uses working memory. We conduct a short-term memory test and a calculation task and analyzed 1.0s EEG data from 4 phases (resting, encoding, retrieval and calculation phase). As a result, fractal dimension analysis can reflect the activity ofthe working memory better than sample entropy analysis. Moreover, in order to investigate the relationship between the fractal dimension value and the power of theta band (4-8 Hz) in the frontal region, we conducted a correlation coefficient analysis. The result showed that increase of the power of theta band and decrease of fractal dimension value has relatively high correlation. In conclusion, the activity of working memory in frortal
part may be able to be captured by fractal dimension analysis.. |

In the proposed method, independent component analysis and high-pass filtering were usefi with a hybrid accelerometer, which was used for detecting components containing head movement artifact. To evaluate the proposed method, we measured EEG which included the artifact and P300 components. As a result, although EEG amplitude decreased, original P300 waveform appeared clearly. This result indicates that the proposed method is effective for removing head movement artifact while keeping EEG information.. |

, 8th Biomedical Engineering International Conference, 2015.11, The topic of our research is the detection of concealed information based on ERP (Event Related Potential). As a method to detect concealed information there is CIT (Concealed Information Test). CIT is used to detect intentionally concealed information, for example crime-related information, with subject’s physiological response to presented stimuli. We used visually CIT based on P300 in the experiment. There are three kinds of stimuli in CIT. One is ‘Probe’, which is related to concealed information. The other is ‘Irrelevant’, which is not related with it but consists of same category as Probe (ex; place, time and so on). And the other is ‘Target’, which is for calling subject’s attention to the experiment. In CIT, the subject’s reaction to those presented stimuli are measured and compared with each other
categories. If the reaction to Probe are different with one to Irrelevant the subject is considered as he knows Probe.. |

Kazuya Sannomiya, Keiji Iramina, Evaluation of Current Density Distribution of tDCS in the Brain by computer simulation -Differences in Electrodes Position, 7th Biomedical Engineering International Conference, 2014.11, — Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is noninvasive brain stimulation method that modulate cortical excitability by direct current. The use of tDCS is increasing in a variety of clinical fields as treatment for neuropsychiatric disease and neurological disorders. But it isn’t obvious how brain is affected by tDCS. In this study, we investigated the difference of current density distribution in brain by computational model. The aim is to estimate the difference of current density distribution in brain for position of tDCS electrodes. As a result, it turned out that the distance of two electrodes is one of important parameter.

, 7th Biomedical Engineering International Conference, 2014.11, Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is one of treatment for Parkinson’s Disease (PD). The diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease is difficult because of its complexity.
Therefore, we have established an evaluation for the effect of treatment in DBS. We measure pronation and supination of forearms, which is used for diagnosis of PD, and analyze the motion of subjects by obtained acceleration and angular velocity. We use two indices for analysis. These indices by obtained results are useful for evaluation of treatment of DBS.

Fadilla Zennifa, Fitrilina, Husnil Kamil, Keiji Iramina, Prototype early warning system for heart disease detection using Android application, 36th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2014.08, Heart Disease affects approximately 70 million people worldwide where most people do not even know the symptoms. This research examines the prototype of early warning system for heart disease by android application. It aims to facilitate users to early detect heart disease which can be used independently. To build the application in android phone, variable centered intelligence rule system (VCIRS) as decision makers and pulse sensor - Arduino as heart rate detector were applied in this study. Moreover, in Arduino, the heart rate will become an input for symptoms in Android Application. The output of this system is the conclusion statement of users diagnosed with either coronary heart disease, hypertension heart disease, rheumatic heart disease or do not get any kind of heart disease. The result of diagnosis followed by analysis of the value of usage variable rate (VUR) rule usage rate (RUR) and node usage rate (NUR) that shows the value of the rule that will increase when the symptoms frequently appear. This application was compared with the medical analysis from 35 cases of heart disease and it showed concordance between diagnosis from android application and expert diagnosis of the doctors.. |
