Conference Object Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 12Use of Topological Data Analysis in Motor Intention Based Brain-Computer Interfaces(European Signal Processing Conference, EUSIPCO, 2018-09) Altindis, Fatih; Yilmaz, Bulent; İçöz, Kutay; Borisenok, S.This study aims to investigate the use of topological data analysis in electroencephalography (EEG) based on brain-computer interface (BCI) applications. Our study focused on extracting topological features of EEG signals obtained from the motor cortex area of the brain. EEG signals from 8 subjects were used for forming data point clouds with a real-time simulation scenario and then each cloud was processed with JPlex toolbox in order to find out corresponding Betti numbers. These numbers represent the topological structure of the point data cloud related to the persistent homologies, which differ for different motor activity tasks. The estimated Betti numbers has been used as features in k-NN classifier to discriminate left or right hand motor intentions. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - Scopus: 2Improving Short-Term Memory Performance of Healthy Young Males Using Alpha Band Neurofeedback(International Society for Neurofeedback and Research, 2019-03-24) Gökşin, Barış; Yilmaz, Bulent; İçöz, KutayTo examine whether it was possible to improve short-term memory performance of healthy participants by increasing relative alpha band power (7–11.5 Hz) using neurofeedback, we first converted a commercial EEG device (EmotivEpoc) to a neurofeedback tool and collected data from 11 healthy Turkish male graduate students in five neurofeedback sessions. Before and after neurofeedback training, a memorization task using 10 English words and their Turkish meanings was applied to all participants. The results indicated that 6 out of 11 participants were able to enhance their relative alpha band power with respect to other bands in the frequency spectrum during neurofeedback sessions. Although there was no obvious improvement in their short-term memory performance, we may conclude that neurofeedback training was beneficial for the participants to focus their minds consciously. However, it is not easy to mention that neurofeedback training certainly improved or was irrelevant with short-term memory performance. This study is important in the sense that for such a focused group the use of a commercial, customized low-cost EEG device was shown to be feasible for neurofeedback training sessions. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object A Horizontal Magnetic Tweezer for Single Molecule Micromanipulations(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-10) Ablay, Günyaz; Böyük, Mustafa; Eroǧlu, Yakup; İçöz, KutayMagnetic tweezers are able to manipulate cells or biomolecules for various applications and measurements. In this work, a horizontal magnetic tweezer is designed, modeled and controlled for single molecule manipulations. A method is presented for dynamic modeling of horizontal magnetic tweezers. A linear control method is designed to ensure a wide range of operation conditions with zero steady-state error. The horizontal magnetic tweezer is able to generate a wide range of piconewton scale forces on a superparamagnetic microparticle for single molecule separation, and biosensor developments. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
