A user of Brain Computer Interface (BCI) system must be able to control external computer devices with brain activity. Although the proof-of-concept was given decades ago, the reliable translation of user intent into device control commands is still a major challenge. There are problems associated with classification of different BCI tasks. In this paper we propose the use of chaotic indices of the BCI. We use largest Lyapunov exponent, mutual information, correlation dimension and minimum embedding dimension as the features for the classification of EEG signals which have been released by BCI Competition IV. A multi-layer Perceptron classifier and a KMSVM( support vector machine classifier based on kmeans clustering) is used for classification process, which lead us to an accuracy of 95.5%, for discrimination between two motor imagery tasks.

Classification is a well known task in data mining and machine learning that aims to predict the class of items as accurately as possible. A well planned data classification system makes essential data easy to find. An object is classified into one of the categories called classes according to the features that well separated the classes. Actually, classification maps an object to its classification label. Many researches used different learning algorithms to classify data; neural networks, decision trees, etc. In this paper, a new classification approach based on cooperative game is proposed. Cooperative game is a branch of game theory consists of a set of players and a characteristic function which specifies the value created by different subsets of the players in the game. In order to find classes in classification process, objects can be imagine as the players in a game and according to the values which obtained by these players, classes will be separated. This approach can be used to classify a population according to their contributions. In the other words, it applies equally to different types of data. Through out this paper, a special case in medical diagnosis was studied. 304 samples taken from human leukemia tissue consists of 17 attributes which determine different CD markers related to leukemia were analyzed. These samples collected from different types of leukemia at Iran Blood Transfusion Organization (IBTO). Obtained results demonstrate that cooperative game is very promising to use directly for classification.

This paper introduces a revisited hybrid algorithm for function approximation. In this paper, a simple and fast learning algorithm is proposed, which automates structure and parameter identification simultaneously based on input-target samples. First, without need of clustering, the initial structure of the network with the specified number of rules is established, and then a training process based on the error of other training samples is applied to obtain a more precision model. After the network structure is identified, an optimization learning, based on the criteria error, is performed to optimize the obtained parameter set of the premise parts and the consequent parts. At the end, comprehensive comparisons are made with other approaches to demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is superior in term of compact structure, convergence speed, memory usage and learning efficiency.

This paper estimates and segments the moving objects based on center of mass model to decrease the search window and to provide a new algorithm, which achieves an accurate and rapid tracking. Furthermore, a novel method is proposed to update the template size adaptively by using estimation and segmentation of moving objects. The estimated results of moving target is transformed to wavelet domain and target tracking is performed in that domain. To improve the algorithm center of mass model is performed in wavelet domain. By using kalman predictor and thresholding method, a new approach is presented for object tracking failure and recovery.

Human can determine optimal behaviors which depend on the ability to make planned and adaptive decisions. In this paper, we have proposed a predictive structure based on neuropsychological evidences to model human decision making process by concentrating on the role of frontal brain regions which are responsible for predictive control of human behavior. We have considered a model-based reinforcement learning framework to implement the relations between these brain areas. Finally, we have designed an experimental test to compare the function of model with human behavior in a maze task. Our results reveal that there is more than reward and punishment in human behavior, and considering higher cognitive functions such as prediction will help to have more reliable models which could better describe human behavior.
