Outline of Final Research Achievements

Recoding electric levels with electrodes on the scalp enables us to read activities inside the brain. However, the signal recorded in this way may include high-level noise and out-of-interest components. Thus, by describing the recorded data by a so-called tensor, we established an automatic method for eliminating undesirable data and/or selecting necessary data. By using this method, we could approach to practical implementation of brain-machine interfacing that can connect the brain and the external world.
