Abstract: Systems and method for classifying EEG signals of a human subject generated responsive to a series of images containing target images and non-target images. The EEG signals are in a spatio-temporal representation. The time points are classified independently, using a linear discriminant classifier, to compute spatio-temporal discriminating weights that are used to amplify the spatio-temporal representation, to create a spatially-weighted representation. Principal Component Analysis is used on a temporal domain for dimensionality reduction, separately for each spatial channel of the signals, to create a projection, which is applied to the spatially-weighted representation onto a first plurality of principal components, to create a temporally approximated spatially weighted representation.

Abstract: Methods of creating frames captured with a video camera that are independent of light conditions are presented. In a first method the invention attains this goal by the addition of a modulated light source, for example amplitude modulation (AM), to the background light that illuminates the scene being captured and executing an algorithm that generates processed images in which the effects of the background illumination have been eliminated. In a second aspect the invention is a method of modifying the flash no flash technique by executing an algorithm that averages out the maximum and minimum intensity peaks in adjacent frames thereby allowing this technique to be employed using non-synchronous light in video.
