We introduce a spatial filtering method in the spherical harmonics domain for constraining magnetoencephalographic (MEG) multichannel measurements to any user-specified spherical region of interest (ROI) inside the head. The method relies on a linear transformation of the signal space separation inner coefficients that represent the MEG signal generated by sources located inside the head. The spatial filtering is achieved effectively by constructing a spherical harmonics basis vector that is dependent on the center of the targeted ROI and it does not require any discrete division of the headspace into grids like the traditional MEG spatial filtering approaches. The validation and the performance of the method are demonstrated through both simulated and actual bilateral auditory-evoked data experiments.

Decomposition of magnetoencephalographic data into components corresponding to deep and superficial sources Özkurt, Tolga Esat; Sun, Mingui; Sclabassi, Robert J. (2008-06-01) We extend the signal space separation (SSS) method to decompose multichannel magnetoencephalographic (MEG) data into regions of interest inside the head. It has been shown that the SSS method can transform MEG data into a signal component generated by neurobiological sources and a noise component generated by external sources outside the head. In this paper, we show that the signal component obtained by the SSS method can be further decomposed by a simple operation into signals originating from deep and sup...
ACOUSTIC SOURCE SEPARATION USING THE SHORT-TIME QUATERNION FOURIER TRANSFORMS OF PARTICLE VELOCITY SIGNALS Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (2016-03-25) Quaternion Fourier transforms (QFT) provide a powerful tool for the analysis of signals obtained from vector probes. Acoustic particle velocity is one such signal which can be measured with specially designed microphone arrays. This paper presents a time-frequency source separation method based on the short-time quaternion Fourier transform of acoustic particle velocity signals and the k-plane clustering of the vector part of the resulting representation. Two example cases, one with a single and one with tw...
Continuous-time nonlinear estimation filters using UKF-aided gaussian sum representations Gökçe, Murat; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) A nonlinear filtering method is developed for continuous-time nonlinear systems with observations/measurements carried out in discrete-time by means of UKFaided Gaussian sum representations. The time evolution of the probability density function (pdf) of the state variables (or the a priori pdf) is approximated by solving the Fokker-Planck equation numerically using Euler’s method. At every Euler step, the values of the a priori pdf are evaluated at deterministic sample points. These values are used with Ga...
Robust Attitude Estimation Using IMU-Only Measurements Candan, Batu; Söken, Halil Ersin (2021-01-01) © 1963-2012 IEEE.This article proposes two novel covariance-tuning methods to form a robust Kalman filter (RKF) algorithm for attitude (i.e., roll and pitch) estimation using the measurements of only an inertial measurement unit (IMU). KF-based and complementary filtering (CF)-based approaches are the two common methods for solving the attitude estimation problem. Efficiency and optimality of the KF-based attitude filters are correlated with appropriate tuning of the covariance matrices. Manual tuning proce...
Hilbert functions of gorenstein monomial curves Topaloğlu Mete, Pınar; Arslan, Sefa Feza; Department of Mathematics (2005) The aim of this thesis is to study the Hilbert function of a one-dimensional Gorenstein local ring of embedding dimension four in the case of monomial curves. We show that the Hilbert function is non-decreasing for some families of Gorenstein monomial curves in affine 4-space. In order to prove this result, under some arithmetic assumptions on generators of the defining ideal, we determine the minimal generators of their tangent cones by using the standard basis and check the Cohen-Macaulayness of them. Lat...
