Conference logo and me
2014 ICME International Conference on Complex Medical Engineering is held by IEEE SMC Society and ICME, which is the biggest international conference on complex medical engineering and information science. The objective of CME 2014 is to provide a forum for researchers, educators, engineers, neurologists, medical staff and government officials involved in the general areas of biomedical engineering to disseminate their latest research results and exchange views on the future research directions of these fields.
The CME 2014 has been strongly supported by our communities by attracting more than 165 submissions from 13 countries, including Taiwan, Japan, China, USA, Australia, India, Norway, Canada, German, Korea, Sweden, UK and Vietnam, on proposing the state-of-the-art developments in complex medical engineering related topics. The program committee undertook a rigorous review process that resulted in a total of 122 papers being accepted for presentation in CME 2014. This year CME 2014 program is constructed by 5 keynote speeches, 28 organized and regular sessions.
My best paper presentation
Our work titled “Effects of spatial and temporal attention on visual stimulus processing: an event-related potentials study” was selected as oral presentation. And fortunately, it was also selected as the “Best Student Paper Award”, thus, I made two presentations. The first is the presentation of “Best Student Paper Award” on 26th, June. The second is the regular presentation of “Cognitive Neuroscience and Technology” session on 27th, June. Utilizing the high temporal resolution of event-related potentials (ERPs), we combined the endogenous cue-target paradigm in which the central cue could completely predicts the target location or the appearance time point of target with go/no-go task to investigate whether the spatial attention and temporal attention could have difference effect on visual stimulus processing.
My regular paper presentation
I received a question about the result part. Some researcher asked me: according to your results, you got significant difference between the two conditions on the electrode T8. But why you did not mention it. Here is my answer: in fact, we did find the significant different between the spatial and temporal conditions. However, the difference was only found on electrode T8, not on other close electrodes. According to previous studies, if you want to discuss the significant difference between two conditions on some electrodes, then you must get the significant difference at least two close electrodes. But in this study, we did not find the significant difference on other electrodes next to T8. Thus, we did not discuss it.
Best student paper of ICME2014
Our paper was selected as the “Best Student Paper Award”. And the keynote speech on the development of new fMRI technique of Hidenao Fukuyama is very interesting. It makes me consider to some new methods to do experiments.
