Mathematical monotsukuri: Summing a constant may help to detect synchronized brain activity

Scientists at Tokyo Tech found a simple, yet effective, way to improve how synchronization is measured in chaotic systems. The technique consists in adding a constant parameter to the “analytic signals” in a way that emphasizes certain aspects of their timing. This could help improve brain-computer interfaces, which are meant to aid disabled people.
