Common spatial patterns (CSP) has proved to be very successful in EEG feature extraction. To relax the presumption of strictly linear patterns in the CSP, nonlinear variants of the approach are proposed using the kernel method. However, they typically suffer from twomain drawbacks: the problem of complexity and low generalization ability dealing with different subjects. To overcome these drawba...

Languages of the world universally encode spatial relationships between objects. However, speakers employ a variety of different language-specific expressions, which may encode culture-specific information about objects and/or different spatial concepts. We ask whether aspects of the encoding of spatial relations across languages nevertheless show common underlying spatial concepts as reflected...

Drug refractory epilepsy (RE) is believed to be associated with structural lesions, but some RE patients show no significant abnormalities (RE-no-SA) on conventional magnetic resonance imaging scans. Since most of the medically controlled (MCE) also do not exhibit abnormalities, a reliable assessment needs developed differentiate RE-no-SA and MCE avoid misdiagnosis inappropriate treatment. Usin...

Resourcesat-1 satellite offers a unique opportunity of simultaneous observations at three different spatial scales through LISSIV, LISS-III (improved LISS-III) and AWiFS sensors from a common platform. The sensors have enhanced capabilities in terms of spectral, spatial and radiometric resolution as compared to earlier Indian Remote sensing Satellite sensors. This paper summarizes the results o...

Visualizing and quantifying spatial patterns of co-occurrence (i.e., of two or more 12 species, or of species and underlying environmental variables) can suggest hypotheses about 13 processes that structure species assemblages and their relevant spatial scales. Statistical models 14 of spatial co-occurrence generally assume that underlying spatial processes are isotropic and 15 stationary but m...

The patchiness of zooplankton biomass for two size classes (190-600 μm and < 600 μm) as well as several environmental variables were examined in a coastal reef lagoon (Guadeloupe, French West Indies) in order to determine the mechanisms that contribute to the generation and maintenance of multiscale spatial variability in this community. A new form of multiscale analysis, called PCNM, was used ...

Visualizing and quantifying spatial patterns of co-occurrence (i.e., of two or more species, or of species and underlying environmental variables) can suggest hypotheses about processes that structure species assemblages and their relevant spatial scales. Statistical models of spatial co-occurrence generally assume that underlying spatial processes are isotropic and stationary, but many ecologi...
