In recent years, major results were reported on Brain-Computer
Interface / Brain-Machine Interface (BCI/BMI) applied to
rehabilitation in scientific reports and papers. This subject
received much attention within the Society on Communication,
Navigation, Sensing and Services (CONASENSE) during the period
2013-2015. Describing the state of the art on various BCI/BMI
activities related to neuro-rehabilitation is the central theme of
this book. The latest insights coming from neurophysiologists,
neuropsychologists, ICT experts specialized in clinical data
management and from representatives of patient organizations are
elucidated and new ways for "BCI/BMI applied to rehabilitation"
using advanced ICT are introduced. The book describes the latest
progress in and is an appeal for an approach leading to more
cost-saving multi-disciplinary neuro-rehabilitation. This book
covers the following topics: * Overview on BCI/BMI applied to
rehabilitation * ICT for Neuro-rehabilitation * ICT for new
generation prostheses * Gaze tracking, facial orientation
determination, face and emotion recognition in 3D space for
neuro-rehabilitation applications * Integrated perspective for
future wide spread integration of motor neuro-rehabilitation *
Ethical issues in the use of Information and Communication
Technologies in the health care of patients with neurological
disorders
The 18th Tyrrhenian Workshop on digital communications is devoted
to wi- less communications. In the last decade, wireless
communications research boosted launching new standards and
proposing new techniques for the - cess technology. We moved from
the UTRA standard capable to transmit 0. 5bit/s/Hz to WLAN which is
promising 2. 7bit/s/Hz. Now wireless c- munication systems are

network, as IP is, imposes the necessity of a - cure network, to
guarantee the privacy of the ongoing communications, avoid the use
of the networks by unauthorized customers, avoid the misuses and
the charge to third parties of the cost of the connection. Also,
quality of service (QoS) of the communications is becoming a must
in IP networks which are carrying services which need a guaranteed
QoS as telephony, real time s- vices, etc. To get this new target
some form of access control to the network must be setup. Recently,
new form of communication networks has appeared to collect data for
several applications (sensor networks, ad hoc networks, etc. ) and
they need a connection with a backbone network which could be a
wireless one with a larger range than the sensor or ad hoc networ

Multimedia Communications is at the core of the advanced
interactive services that make up today's Information Society.
Videoconferencing, teleworking, teleshopping and video-on-demand
will benefit from developments in broadband and mobile
telecommunication systems, intelligent multimedia terminals and
digital signal processing. The latest research findings from these
fields are presented here in the proceedings of the 10th Tyrrhenian
Workshop on Digital Communications, held in Ischia, Italy,
September 19 98. Focus is placed on the following four areas:
Signal Processing for Multimedia Communications. Modeling, Analysis
and Simulation of Multimedia Traffic Sources. Access Techniques.
Multimode Multimedia Terminals. In particular, multimedia services
and applications are presented. This comprehensive collection of
papers will enable the reader to keep pace with the rapid changes
that are taking place in this field. Experts have co-operated with
top research centers worldwide, on an academic and industrial
level, to make this an up-to-date reference volume for all those
who are concerned with technological advances in Multimedia
Distributed Systems.
Broadband Wireless Access is a highly challenging and fast changing
area of multimedia radio communications. These papers on the
subject are the proceedings of the 9th Tyrrhenian Workshop, held in
Lerici, Italy, September 1997. They provide a prospect on the state
of the art and future development, with a sufficiently wide focus
to cover technological, architectural and regulatory issues.
Emphasis is given to those advances of digital signal processing
techniques, microwave mono lithic integrated circuits and smart
antennae that will allow the design of low cost user terminals with
advanced capabilities. Specific attention is also devoted to the
protocols these new terminals will use to access the radio medium,
and to the kind of services that will eventually be provided to the
end-user in the future. With contributions from worldwide experts,
the material presented here is a timely and high-level overview of
the field, and as well as being informative is a useful tool for
promoting further investigation into the area of multimedia radio
communications.
