Bio-signals Collecting System for Fatigue Level Classification.

Fatigue is a risk factor that reduces quality of life and work efficiency, and threatens safety in a high-risk environment. However, fatigue is not yet precisely defined and is not a quantified concept as it relies on subjective evaluation. The purpose of this study is to manage risks, improve mission efficiency, and prevent accidents through the development of machine learning and deep learning b...

A deep learning approach for automation in neurite tracing and cell size estimation from differential contrast images under healthy and hypoxic condition.

Chronic hypoxia is known to be a major cause of neurite length retraction followed be degeneration. Specifically, laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) based-contrast imaging is used for monitoring neuronal morphology under hypoxic condition. Although imaging of neurons using LSCM via differential contrast imaging (DIC) is a powerful tool to identify the neuronal states under degenerative cond...
