Mining EEG with SVM for Understanding Cognitive Underpinnings of Math Problem Solving Strategies by Paul Bosch, Mauricio Herrera, Julio López, Sebastián Maldonado

“…A binary classification problem was constructed using correlations and phase synchronization between different electroencephalographic channels as characteristics and, as labels or classes, the math performances of individuals participating in specially designed experiments. The proposed methodology is based on using well-established procedures of feature selection, which were used to determine a suitable brain functional network size related to math problem solving strategies and also to discover the most relevant links in this network without including noisy connections or excluding significant connections.…”

Optimal Stochastic Control Problem for General Linear Dynamical Systems in Neuroscience by Yan Chen, Yingchun Deng, Shengjie Yue, Chao Deng

“…Moreover, the optimal trajectory is almost a straight line for a reaching movement; the optimal velocity bell-shaped and the optimal variance are consistent with the experimental Fitts law; that is, the longer the time of a reaching movement, the higher the accuracy of arriving at the target position, and the results can be directly applied to designing a reaching movement performed by a robotic arm in a more general environment.…”
