In conclusion, this chapter provides an overview of the different types of normal EEG activity and benign variants that are seen in the EEG. One needs to be aware of the normal variability at different ages and different states of wakefulness, drowsiness, and sleep. Dr. Klass has stated that the “detection and interpretation of the EEG data derived from visual analysis involve matters of judgment and experience, which render clinical EEG an art as much as a science.”5

AbstractElectroencephalography (EEG) is a popular method to monitor brain activity, but it can be difficult to evaluate EEG-based analysis methods because no ground-truth brain activity is available for comparison. Therefore, in order to test and evaluate such methods, researchers often use simulated EEG data instead of actual EEG recordings, ensuring that it is known beforehand which e ects are present in the data. As such, simulated data can be used, among other things, to assess or compare signal processing and machine learn-ing algorithms, to model EEG variabilities, and to design source reconstruction methods. In this paper, we present SEREEGA, short for Simulating Event-Related EEG Activity. SEREEGA is a MATLAB-based open-source toolbox dedicated to the generation of sim-ulated epochs of EEG data. It is modular and extensible, at initial release supporting ve different publicly available head models and capable of simulating multiple different types of signals mimicking brain activity. This paper presents the architecture and general work ow of this toolbox, as well as a simulated data set demonstrating some of its functions.HighlightsSimulated EEG data has a known ground truth, which can be used to validate methods.We present a general-purpose open-source toolbox to simulate EEG data.It provides a single framework to simulate many different types of EEG recordings.It is modular, extensible, and already includes a number of head models and signals.It supports noise, oscillations, event-related potentials, connectivity, and more.

Some electroencephalography (EEG) studies have investigated emotional intelligence (EI), but none have examined the relationships between EI and commercial advertising messages and related consumer behaviors. This study combines brain (EEG) techniques with an EI psychometric to explore the brain responses associated with a range of advertisements. A group of 45 participants (23 females, 22 males) had their EEG recorded while watching a series of advertisements selected from various marketing categories such as community interests, celebrities, food/drink, and social issues. Participants were also categorized as high or low in emotional intelligence (n = 34). The EEG data analysis was centered on rating decision-making in order to measure brain responses associated with advertising information processing for both groups. The findings suggest that participants with high and low emotional intelligence (EI) were attentive to different types of advertising messages. The two EI groups demonstrated preferences for “people” or “object,” related advertising information. This suggests that differences in consumer perception and emotions may suggest why certain advertising material or marketing strategies are effective or not.

This article describes a survey which investigated perception of alcoholism among Jewish, Moslem and Christian teachers in the north of Israel during the spring of 1991. Data were obtained from a sample of 553 teachers. The teachers were asked to agree or disagree with items associated with the disease concept or with the moral concept of alcoholism. The findings indicate differences in the perception of alcoholism among teachers of different religions, education levels, gender, and drinking practices. No differences were found among teachers of different ages or among those working in different types of schools.

Music is known to be a powerful elicitor of emotions. Music with different moods induces various emotions, each of which corresponding to certain pattern of EEG signals. In this paper, based on current music mood categories, we discuss how the music belonging to different mood types affect the pattern EEG activity. We review several literatures verifying that certain characteristics of EEG differ from each other induced by different types of music. Such differences make it possible for emotion recognition through EEG signals. We also introduce some applications of emotional music such as improvement of human emotions and adjuvant treatment of diseases.

The present study maps different types of adolescent sexting in the Slovak Republic, i.e. primary and secondary sexting, as well as self- and peer-sexting. Our research has been focused on the investigation and comparison of motives that make the adolescents of different ages and genders decide for voluntary, forced, primary, secondary, self- or peer-sexting. The research sample included 790 Slovak adolescents aged 12–18, of which 376 were boys (47.6%) and 414 were girls (52.4%). The gender-based comparison provided us with statistically significant differences in pursuing various types of sexting. The most frequent form of sexting is peer sexting. In terms of motivation, the research shows that most adolescents use individual sexting forms to seek attention or entertain themselves. Secondary sexting (as the most dangerous form of this behavior) is most often driven by entertainment, retaliation, revenge and jealousy. All these motives were also statistically more significant for male respondents.

The analysis of the subject-spatial environment of children’s playgrounds is presented. Their special importance in the formation of a comfortable, stable and safe environment for children is highlighted. The importance of selecting play equipment for playgrounds is indicated not only based on its availability and accessibility, but also based on the age-specific characteristics of the child’s perception of the environment. The scheme of using different types of children’s play equipment is proposed, depending on the age of the child (the type of child’s play). The reasons for the lack of interest of children (4–7 years old) are revealed) to the installed gaming equipment and their preferences. The subject-spatial environment is analyzed on the example of 20 playgrounds in the Maryino district of Moscow. The principles of selection of equipment in accordance with the age category of the child, and the problems of spatial placement of this game equipment, designed for children of different ages, on the playground are considered.

In the paper two existing roads in Austria were examined on the focus of alkali silica reaction of concrete. The two roads have different ages. One is more than 50 years old one is round about 20 years old. The exposition was ordinary highway and countryside highway in the mountains. As next the examination takes the stones from the origin and uses different types of cement to examine the background of the alkali silica guidelines for performance tests of alkali silica reaction. The results are very interesting because most of the performance tests are use test cements with ordinary alkali equivalent. Often the used stones not meet the maximum value of loss of mass under the condition of alkali-load. By using alkali reduced cement the results are less than the maximum value of loss of mass under the condition of alkali-load. One of the targets of the examination was the determination of good load conditions for examination of the alkali silica reaction of stones for use in concrete for road structures. The final paper shows all the examinations and the results between the compared cements and the compared test procedures.
