Common spatial pattern (CSP) method is widely used in brain machine interface (BMI) applications to extract features from the multichannel neural activity through a set of spatial projections. The CSP method easily overfits ...

A large class of physical phenomenon observed in practice exhibit non-Gaussian behavior. In this paper, α-stable distributions, which have heavier tails than Gaussian distribution, are considered to model non-Gaussian ...

A new optimization technique based on the projections onto convex space (POCS) framework for solving convex and some non-convex optimization problems are presented. The dimension of the minimization problem is lifted by ...

A novel evolutionary global optimization approach based on adaptive covariance estimation is proposed. The proposed method samples from a multivariate Levy Skew Alpha-Stable distribution with the estimated covariance matrix ...
