16. Current Research Area EEG Brainwave Sample Brainwave FrequencyState of Beta 13–30 Hz  Fully Awake and Alert  Concentration  Associated with left-brain thinking activity-conscious mind Alpha 7-12 Hz  Relaxed, daydreaming  Creativity, visualization  Generally associated with right-brain thinking activity Theta 3-7 Hz  Deeply relaxed, dreaming  Meditation, intuition, memory  Generally associated with right-brain thinking activity – deeper subconscious to super conscious Delta 0.1-3 Hz  Sleep, dreamless  Detached awareness, healing  Generally associated with no thinking

17. Current Research Area A Novel Random-valued Impulse Noise Removal Based on Adaptive Switching Filter and Local-preserving Scheme The aim of this research is to establish the fundamental technique for Random-Valued Impulse Noise removal. Hence, the objectives are as follows: To investigate the characteristics or the behavior of RVIN in terms of noise occurrence on the image histogram. To formulate a two phase iterative method (detect then preserve) for detecting and removing RVIN by incorporating intelligent principles for adaptive noise filtering and a local preserving scheme that able to suppress high density of noise in digital images. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method in terms of its efficiency to detect the noise and preserving the fine details of the original image.
