Classification of finger movements through optimal EEG channel and feature selection by Murside Degirmenci, Yilmaz Kemal Yuce, Matjaž Perc, Matjaž Perc, Matjaž Perc, Matjaž Perc, Matjaž Perc, Yalcin Isler

“…IntroductionElectrencephalography (EEG)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have become popular as EEG is accepted as the simplest and non-invasive neuroimaging modality to record the brain's electrical activity. In the current BCI research context, apart from predicting extremity movements, recent BCI studies have been interested in accurately predicting finger movements of the same hand using different pattern recognition methods over EEG data collected based on motor imagery (MI), through which a mental image of the desired action is generated when a person ideally simulates or imagines carrying out a certain motor task. …”

Modelling car motion and the calculation of the wear of wheels with the VNITsTT rolling surface profile by A. M. Orlova, Yu. V. Savushkina, V. I. Fedorova

“…The wear problem of wheels along rolling surface or thin flange is currently involved a large circle of specialists. There are opinions that it is necessary to establish new limit values for wheel wear in operation, put into practice the re-profiling (profile grin ding) of rails, install a larger number of floor-mounted lubricators in places of increased rail wear intensity, but one of the priority direction in this area is the development of a new surface rolling wheel profile for freight cars, the use of which will help to increase the turnaround time and increase the service life of the wheels in operation. …”
