| Abstract: | We review the theory and algorithms of electrophysiological brain connectivity analysis. This tutorial is aimed at providing an introduction to brain functional connectivity from electrophysiological signals, including electroencephalography, magnetoencephalography, electrocorticography, and stereoelectroencephalography. Various connectivity estimators are discussed, and algorithms introduced. Important issues for estimating and mapping brain functional connectivity with electrophysiology are discussed. |

(2018)Objective Self-tracking technologies have created high hopes, even hype, for aiding people to govern their own health risks and promote optimal wellness. High expectations do not, however, necessarily materialize due to connective gaps between personal experiences and self-tracking data. This study examines situations when self-trackers face difficulties in engaging with, and reflecting on, their data with the aim of identifying the specificities and consequences of such connective gaps in self-tracking contexts. Methods The study is based on empirical analyses of interviews of inexperienced, experienced and extreme self-trackers (in total 27), who participated in a pilot study aiming at promoting health and wellness. Results The study shows that people using self-tracking devices actively search for constant connectivity to their everyday experiences and particularly health and wellness through personal data but often become disappointed. The results suggest that in connective gaps the personal data remains invisible or inaccurate, generating feelings of confusion and doubt in the users of the self-tracking devices. These are alarming symptoms that may lead to indifference when disconnectivity becomes solidified and data ends up becoming dead, providing nothing useful for the users of self-tracking technologies. Conclusions High expectations which are put on wearables to advance health and wellness may remain unmaterialised due to connective gaps. This is problematic if individuals are increasingly expected to be active in personal data collection and interpretation regarding their own health and wellness.

(Helsingin yliopisto, 2020)The Miocene epoch (c. 23-5 million years ago) was a noteworthy geological time period in which significant changes took place both in the climate regimes as well as in vegetation characteristics, bringing about novel adaptations in many herbivorous lineages. These adaptations constituted morphological, dietary, and ecological factors in a relatively short period of evolutionary time. Among these herbivores were the proboscideans, the living and extinct elephants, which were among the most dominant and largest herbivores at the time. Despite that proboscideans were diverse and large group of hundreds of species, yet the understanding of dietary and ecological patterns of majority of Miocene sympatric species is still limited. The aim of this study was to analyse the molar surfaces of Miocene proboscideans (e.g. Deinotherium and Gomphotherium) from Eurasia to provide a reconstruction of the feeding preferences of the study species based on observed dental wear. The dental wear indicates the abrasiveness of the diet, thus allowing broad categorization to either browser (<10% grass in the diet), mixed-feeder (10-90% grass in the diet) or grazer (>90% grass in the diet). Secondly, this study aimed for providing estimation of the environmental characteristic and vegetation patterns of the study localities by comparing to the previous studies and to hypsodonty value (proxy of general openness and aridity of the environment). Proboscidean dietary signals from the key localities of Maragheh (Iran) and Pannonian basin (Austria) were compared with the paleobotanical studies. Thus, the general estimation of spatial and temporal variation of the environment characteristics in the study localities were based on these parameters. The materials of fossilized molars were analysed by mesowear angle method, in which the measured angles show the diet abrasiveness due the nutritional targets’ differences. The results allowed the reconstruction of the feeding preferences which suggested that majority of Miocene proboscideans were browsers and browse-dominated mixed feeders or pure mixed-feeders. Instead, Choerolophodon pentelici was found grass-dominant mixed-feeder. The wide spectrum of feeding preferences allowed diet flexibility according available vegetation and also these sympatric species to co-exist by niche partitioning. Thus, demonstrating clearly the connection between diets and environments thought the diet. As a conclusion, in the diet of the paleocommunities of proboscideans had, on average, more grass-dominant components in open and dry environment likely due the presence of grass-dominant vegetation. Instead, in the wet conditions the closed-canopy forest environments enhanced browsing. Further, the results indicated shift in feeding preferences of proboscideans prior to Miocene climate and environment changes. These results are in line with the findings of the previous studies of modern elephants’ diet- environment relationships. The further studies would provide insight to the relative amounts of the grass in the diet of Miocene proboscideans.

(Helsingfors universitet, 2011)Tämä tutkielma käsittelee lukiolaisten englannin kielen arvosanojen ja luokkahuoneen ulkopuolella pelattujen videopelien yhteyttä. Teoriaosassa esitetään kielitieteellisiä perusteita sille, miksi videopelien pelaaminen saattaisi kehittää pelaajan englannin kielen taitoja. Kvantitatiivisessa tutkimuksessa kerättiin kyselylomakkeen avulla tietoja 495 vantaalaisen lukiolaisen arvosanoista, pelitottumuksista ja muista englantia sisältävistä luokkahuoneen ulkopuolisista aktiviteeteista. Tiedot käsiteltiin SPSS-tilasto-ohjelmassa. Tutkimuksessa videopelien pelaamisen ja englannin arvosanojen väliltä löytyi tilastollisesti merkittävä korrelaatio. Kun muut muuttujat vakioitiin, videopelit olivat tutkimuksessa tutkituista aktiviteeteista kaikkein vahvimmin yhteydessä englannin arvosanoihin. Korrelaatio ei selittynyt taustamuuttujilla kuten pelaajien ylipäätään paremmalla koulumenestyksellä tai sosioekonomisella asemalla. Jo vain 0-5 tuntia viikossa pelaavien arvosanat erosivat tilastollisesti merkittävästi niiden arvosanoista, jotka eivät pelanneet ollenkaan. Eri peligenrejen välillä oli eroja siinä, miten vahvasti ne olivat yhteydessä korkeampiin englannin arvosanoihin. Pelaajista 85% oli sitä mieltä, että pelaaminen on kehittänyt heidän englannin kielen taitojaan ainakin jonkin verran. Aktiivisimmista pelaajista 70% oli sitä mieltä, että pelaaminen on kehittänyt heidän taitojaan todella paljon. Pelaamisen määrä oli vahvasti yhteydessä siihen, miten paljon ja kuinka monella osa-alueella kielitaidon katsottiin parantuneen pelaamisen seurauksena. Pelaajat olivat keskimäärin aktiivisia myös muissa parempiin englannin arvosanoihin yhteydessä olevissa aktiviteeteissa, kuten Internetin käytössä ja lukemisessa. Aktiivisuus muissa aktiviteeteissa ei kuitenkaan selittänyt pelaajien korkeampia arvosanoja kokonaan. Luokkahuoneen ulkopuolella harrastettavat aktiviteetit selittivät yhdessä lähes kolmanneksen arvosanojen kokonaisvaihtelusta. Pojat pelasivat paljon enemmän videopelejä kuin tytöt. Pojilla oli myös korkeammat englannin arvosanat kuin tytöillä. Pojilla arvosanoihin vahvimmin vaikuttavat aktiviteetit liittyivät kiinteästi videopeleihin ja tietokoneisiin. Tytöillä arvosanoihin vaikuttavat tekijät olivat huomattavasti monipuolisempia. Johtopäätöksenä tutkimuksessa todetaan, että yhteys hyvien englannin arvosanojen ja videopelien pelaamisen välillä on kiistämätön. Tutkimuksessa ei kuitenkaan voida lopullisesti osoittaa, että pelaajien korkeammat arvosanat johtuisivat juuri pelaamisesta. Tutkijoita ja opettajia kehotetaan kuitenkin tunnustamaan videopelien kiistaton merkitys oppilaille ja heidän englannin kielen taidoilleen.
