Contingent negative variation and P3 modulations following mindful movement training
In the study of the electrophysiological correlates of attention, a phasic change in alertness has been classically related to a negative frontal-central shift called Contingent Negative Variation (CNV). Studies investigating the effects of meditation on the CNV in participants reporting frequent transcendental experiences (TE) reported reduced CNV in choice reaction time task (CRT), and increased CNV in simple reaction time task (SRT), suggesting that meditation can induce a more balanced attentional state.
Reduction of repeatability error for analysis of variance-Simultaneous Component Analysis (REP-ASCA): application to NIR spectroscopy on coffee sample
A method to reduce repeatability error in multivariate data for Analysis of variance-Simultaneous Component Analysis (REP-ASCA) has been developed. This method proposes to adapt the acquisition protocol by adding a set containing repeated measures for describing repeatability error. Then, an orthogonal projection is performed in the row-space to reduce the repeatability error of the original dataset. Finally, ASCA is performed on the orthogonalized dataset. This method was evaluated on NIR spectral data of coffee beans.
