Beat-to-beat estimation of stroke volume using impedance cardiography and artificial neural network.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Impedance cardiography is a low-cost noninvasive technique, based on monitoring of the thoracic impedance, for estimation of stroke volume (SV). Impedance cardiogram (ICG) is the negative of the first derivative of the impedance signal. A technique f...

Towards multilevel mental stress assessment using SVM with ECOC: an EEG approach.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Mental stress has been identified as one of the major contributing factors that leads to various diseases such as heart attack, depression, and stroke. To avoid this, stress quantification is important for clinical intervention and disease prevention...

Delineation of the ischemic stroke lesion based on watershed and relative fuzzy connectedness in brain MRI.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Precise segmentation of stroke lesions from brain magnetic resonance (MR) images poses a challenging task in automated diagnosis. In this paper, we proposed a new method called watershed-based lesion segmentation algorithm (WLSA), which is a novel in...

A novel and reliable computational intelligence system for breast cancer detection.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Cancer is the second important morbidity and mortality factor among women and the most incident type is breast cancer. This paper suggests a hybrid computational intelligence model based on unsupervised and supervised learning techniques, i.e., self-...

A machine learning framework involving EEG-based functional connectivity to diagnose major depressive disorder (MDD).

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Major depressive disorder (MDD), a debilitating mental illness, could cause functional disabilities and could become a social problem. An accurate and early diagnosis for depression could become challenging. This paper proposed a machine learning fra...

The impact of goal-oriented task design on neurofeedback learning for brain-computer interface control.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Neurofeedback training teaches individuals to modulate brain activity by providing real-time feedback and can be used for brain-computer interface control. The present study aimed to optimize training by maximizing engagement through goal-oriented ta...

Automatic detection and classification of leukocytes using convolutional neural networks.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
The detection and classification of white blood cells (WBCs, also known as Leukocytes) is a hot issue because of its important applications in disease diagnosis. Nowadays the morphological analysis of blood cells is operated manually by skilled opera...

Application of artificial neural network model combined with four biomarkers in auxiliary diagnosis of lung cancer.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
The purpose of the study was to explore the application of artificial neural network model in the auxiliary diagnosis of lung cancer and compare the effects of back-propagation (BP) neural network with Fisher discrimination model for lung cancer scre...

Computer-aided diagnosis system for lung nodules based on computed tomography using shape analysis, a genetic algorithm, and SVM.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Lung cancer is the major cause of death among patients with cancer worldwide. This work is intended to develop a methodology for the diagnosis of lung nodules using images from the Image Database Consortium and Image Database Resource Initiative (LID...
