Towards Practical Brain-Computer Interfaces

資料結構(Data Structures) 是一門電腦科學領域的基礎課程，其目的是研究如何將資料有組織地存放到電腦記憶體中，以提升程式之執行效率的一門學問。因此，有良好的資料結構(Data Structure) 及有效率的演算法(Algorithm) 將可以大大的提升程式的執行效率。在電腦科學(Computer Science) 的領域中，我們如何透過電腦來取得即時有用的資訊，那就必須要將資料交由程式去運作，而「程式」就是由「資料結構」和「演算法」所構成的。 隨著資訊科技的進度，傳統資訊核心課程的理論之運用更顯得重要。因此，筆者特別加入目前重要的發展議題。例如：物聯網、智慧型機器人及大數據，其中以「智慧型機器人」為主題，加入不少相關的例子，並且將重要的理論，利用互動式圖解APP 方式來呈現。因為筆者在最近這幾年來專注於機器人及手機APP 的相關研究及各種比賽的經驗，想透過本書來分享給讀者在學習資料結構的同時，也能夠了解它們的各種運用。 動態展示演算法：這本書共有九個章節，每一章節筆者都利用圖解說明、循序漸進的表達方式，來引導學習者有效地學習資料結構，除此之外，特別加入「互動式APP 動態展示演算法的實際運作原理」之實作介面，它是利用 AppInventor 的視覺化程式語言所撰寫而成。如此，學生更容易了解老師上課講解的理論背後演算法的運作程序。

Tea drinking has a history of five thousand years in the East. The quality of tea is generally graded through sensory evaluation. That is, professionally trained tasters rely on sight, smell, and taste to judge the quality of tea. Generally speaking, as long as you go through a series of rigorous training courses and cultivation, maintain good physical fitness and sensory sensitivity at all times, and be in a stable environment, you can drink the quality of tea. Tea sensory evaluation has long been an important method for evaluating the quality and grading of tea, and is widely recognized by the tea industry.

「我們終歸要回到細胞」我們得要了解細胞，才能了解人體。我們需要它們，才能了解醫學。但最基本的是，我們需要細胞的故事，來講述生命和我們自己的故事。 普立茲獎得主、《萬病之王》《基因》作者——辛達塔．穆克吉最新作品，本書是一部生命基石的歷史，交織了他擔任醫師的生涯。 《細胞之歌》融合了尖端研究、無可挑剔的嚴謹學術、勇敢無畏的報導，和流暢優美的散文，形成百科全書式的研究，讀起來就如文學作品般扣人心弦。～《歐普拉日報》（Oprah Daily） 本書談的是細胞的故事，是發現包括人類在內，所有生物體都是由這些「基本粒子」構成的記述。這是關於這些自主的生命單位——組織、器官和器官系統合作，有條不紊地累積，能夠促成深奧形式的生理功能：免疫、生殖、知覺、認知、修復，和再生的故事。而反過來，它也是講述在細胞功能失調，使我們的身體由細胞生理變為細胞病理——細胞的功能障礙導致身體功能失常，會是什麼樣的故事。最後，這是關於我們對細胞生理學和病理學日漸深入的了解如何引發生物學和醫學革命，促成革命性的醫藥誕生，以及人類如何因這些醫藥而改變的故事。 在《萬病之王》（The Emperor of All Maladies）中，穆克吉寫到尋求治療或預防癌症的痛苦追尋，《基因》（The Gene）一書則是由破解生命密碼的追求而推動寫作。《細胞之歌》帶我們踏上截然不同的旅程：以生命最簡單的單位——細胞，來理解生命。本書談的並不是尋找治療方法或破譯密碼，書中沒有單一的對手。書裡主要的人物想要藉由了解細胞的結構、生理、行為及與周圍的細胞的相互作用來了解生命，這是細胞的音樂。他們的醫學探索是尋求細胞療法，用人類的基礎材料來重建和修復人類。於是，與其讓本書按時間順序展開，穆克吉選擇了一個截然不同的結構。本書的每一部分都是針對複雜生物的一個基本屬性，探索它的故事。每個部分都是一段迷你歷史，是發現的年表。每一部分都說明存在特定細胞體系的一個生命的基本屬性（繁殖、自主、新陳代謝），而且都包含新細胞技術的誕生（比如骨髓移植、體外受精、基因治療、深層腦部刺激〔deep brain stimulation〕、免疫療法），它們都源自於我們對細胞的理解，挑戰我們對人類是如何構成和我們如何運作的觀念。本書本身就是幾個部分的總和：歷史和個人史、生理學和病理學、過去和未來——以及穆克吉自己擔任
