The Interaction Between Feedback Type and Learning in Routine Grasping With Myoelectric Prostheses.

While prosthetic fitting after upper-limb loss allows for restoration of motor functions, it deprives the amputee of tactile sensations that are essential for grasp control in able-bodied subjects. Therefore, it is commonly assumed that restoring the force feedback would improve the control of prosthesis grasping force. However, the literature regarding the benefit of feedback is controversial. He...

Neonatal seizure detection from raw multi-channel EEG using a fully convolutional architecture.

A deep learning classifier for detecting seizures in neonates is proposed. This architecture is designed to detect seizure events from raw electroencephalogram (EEG) signals as opposed to the state-of-the-art hand engineered feature-based representation employed in traditional machine learning based solutions. The seizure detection system utilises only convolutional layers in order to process the ...
