The direct neural control of external devices such as computer displays or prosthetic limbs requires the accurate decoding of neural activity representing continuous movement. We develop a real-time control system using the spiking activity of approximately 40 neurons recorded with an electrode array implanted in the arm area of primary motor cortex. In contrast to previous work, we develop a c...

We describe a collaborative research and development effort between the Palo Alto Laboratory of the Rockwell Science Center, Rockwell Space Operations Company, and the Propulsion Systems Section of NASA Johnson Space Center to design computational tools that can manage the complexity of information displayed to human operators in high-stakes, time-critical decision contexts. We shall review an ...

In today's competitive electric market, utilities are expected to provide highly reliable power supplies at the lowest possible cost. Distribution automation and remote control are recognized as ways for intelligently using appropriate technology to increase the reliability at reduced system operation cost, automated operations and service restoration can eliminate the need to send out the pers...

This paper developed and evaluated a Lilliput Multimedia (LM) system to enhance students’ learning motivation by bringing them personally onto the scene to explore the world without having to leave the classroom. The LM system integrates of digital multimedia exhibition content, remote-controlled toy cars, and toy models of the buildings to motivate the students and engage them to learn as if t...

This paper presents a preliminary study that relates the ability in performing remote control tasks with 3D video feedback and the users’ quality of experience (QoE) when users are asked to judge the video quality only. The QoE has been evaluated by means of traditional subjective quality experiments, while an objective performance indicator (alignment error) has been used in the remote control...
