A new mode of communication between man and his surroundings
Abstract
The material presented in this paper is the result of a research project that was designed to study the feasibility of establishing an alternative mode of communication between man and his surroundings. The new form of communication proposed uses only the subject's brain waves with no overt physical action required. Subjects' electroencephalograms (EEG) were recorded while they performed various mental tasks designed to elicit hemispheric responses. Features formed from the EEG recording were then used as inputs into a Bayes quadratic classifier to test classification accuracy between the various tasks. The results obtained indicate that it is possible to accurately distinguish between any pair of the five tasks investigated. A comparison between three different methods for creating the feature sets is also presented.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
