==(not necessarilly very) Current Discussion==

re Tononi's "Integrated Information Theory" http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=1799

(19 February 2014) starting to think about possibility for experiments (loosely) related to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_evoked_potential Visual Evoked Potential] research again - for instance:

http://www.biosemi.com/publications/pdf/Bierman.pdf -- Wave function collapse

[[File:Schak99InstantaneousCoherenceStroopTask.pdf]] -- "Instantaneous EEG Coherence Analysis During the Stroop Task" -- Schack et al 1999

[[File:CoherentEEGAmbiguousFigureBinding.pdf]] -- "Coherent EEG Indicators of Cognitive Binding During Ambiguous Figure Tasks" -- Klemm, Li, and Hernandez 2000 

Note these two papers flog coherence measures - not trying to focus so much on that analysis right now, more interested in general understanding of what these experiments are about with possible goal of designing simpler experiments & analysis of similar perceptual/cognitive phenomena.

Here is an article that looks more directly at visual evoked potential measures:

[[File:ERP_Stereoscopic.pdf]] -- "Evoked Responses to Distinct and Nebulous Stereoscopic Stimuli" -- Dunlop et al 1983


(11 September 2013) more on analysis methods:

http://slesinsky.org/brian/misc/eulers_identity.html

http://www.dspguide.com/ch8/1.htm

[[File:Fftw3.pdf]]

[[File:ParametricEEGAnalysis.pdf]]

[[File:ICATutorial.pdf]]

[[File:ICAFrequencyDomainEEG.pdf]]


(21 August 2013) - readings relating statistical (etc math / signal processing / pattern recognition / machine learning) methods for EEG data interpretation.  A lot of stuff, a bit of nonsense ... and ... statistics!

Would be good to identify any papers suitable for more in-depth study.  Currently have a wide field to graze for selections:

[[File:DWTandFFTforEEG.pdf]] "EEG Classifier using Fourier Transform and Wavelet Transform" -- Maan Shaker, 2007

[[File:Schak99InstantaneousCoherenceStroopTask.pdf]] -- "Instantaneous EEG Coherence Analysis During the Stroop Task" -- Schack et al 1999

[[File:KulaichevCoherence.pdf]] -- "The Informativeness of Coherence Analysis in EEG Studies" -- A. P. Kulaichev 2009 ''note: interesting critical perspective re limitations, discussion of alternative analytics''

[[File:ContinuousAndDiscreteWaveletTransforms.pdf]] -- review of (pre-1990) wavelet literature -- Christopher Heil and David Walnut, 1989

[[File:EEGGammaMeditation.pdf]] -- "Brain sources of EEG gamma frequency during volitionally meditation-induced, altered states of consciousness, and experience of the self" -- Dietrich Lehman et al 2001

http://neuro.hut.fi/~pavan/home/Hyvarinen2010_FourierICA_Neuroimage.pdf - "Independent component analysis of short-time Fourier transforms for spontaneous EEG/MEG analysis" -- Aapo Hyvarinen, Pavan Ramkumar, Lauri Parkkonen, Riitta Hari - paper published in Neuroimage vol 49 (2010)

"Hobson and McCarley originally proposed in the 1970s that the differences in the waking-NREM-REM sleep cycle was the result of interactions between aminergic REM-off cells and cholinergic REM-on cells.[4] This was perceived as the activation-synthesis model, stating that brain activation during REM sleep results in synthesis of dream creation.[1][1] Hobson's five cardinal characteristics include: intense emotions, illogical content, apparent sensory impressions, uncritical acceptance of dream events, and difficulty in being remembered."

==random tangents==
(following previous discussion) - we might select a few to study in more depth
(... or not!  Plenty more to explore - suggestions (random or otherwise) are welcome.

 Claude Shannon: "Communication in the Presence of Noise"
 [[File:Shannon_noise.pdf]]
 "We will call a system that transmits without errors at the rate ''C'' an ideal system.
  Such a system cannot be achieved with any finite encoding process
  but can be approximated as closely as desired."
