Using Convolutional Neural Networks for Classification of Bifurcation Regions in IVOCT Images.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technology enabled the experts to analyze coronary lesions from high-resolution intravascular images. Studies have shown the relationship between bifurcation regions and a higher occurrence of wall thickening and le...

RespNet: A deep learning model for extraction of respiration from photoplethysmogram.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Respiratory ailments afflict a wide range of people and manifests itself through conditions like asthma and sleep apnea. Continuous monitoring of chronic respiratory ailments is seldom used outside the intensive care ward due to the large size and co...

Trajectory Decoding of Arm Reaching Movement Imageries for Brain-Controlled Robot Arm System.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Development of noninvasive brain-machine interface (BMI) systems based on electroencephalography (EEG), driven by spontaneous movement intentions, is a useful tool for controlling external devices or supporting a neuro- rehabilitation. In this study,...

Decoding Speech from Single Trial MEG Signals Using Convolutional Neural Networks and Transfer Learning.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Decoding speech directly from the brain has the potential for the development of the next generation, more efficient brain computer interfaces (BCIs) to assist in the communication of patients with locked-in syndrome (fully paralyzed but aware). In t...

A New Trajectory Determination Method for Robot-Assisted Ankle Ligament Rehabilitation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Keeping ligament strain at an appropriate range is beneficial for avoiding unexpected injuries and enhancing treatment efficacy. This study proposes a new trajectory determination method specifically for the robot-assisted ankle ligament rehabilitati...

Distributed Bio-inspired Humanoid Posture Control.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper presents an innovative distributed bio-inspired posture control strategy for a humanoid, employing a balance control system DEC (Disturbance Estimation and Compensation). Its inherently modular structure could potentially lead to conflicts...

Designing Configurable Arm Rehabilitation Games: How Do Different Game Elements Affect User Motion Trajectories?

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
For successful rehabilitation of a patient after a stroke or traumatic brain injury, it is crucial that rehabilitation activities are motivating, provide feedback and have a high rate of repetitions. Advancements in recent technologies provide soluti...

Optimizing Probability Threshold of Convolution Neural Network to Improve HRV-based Acute Stress Detection Performance.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
As stress is linked to numerous emotional and physical conditions, its timely detection and proper management is important for our health. Convolution neural network (CNN) has been shown to be promising in stress detection because it could automatica...

A Novel Underactuated Robotic Finger with Variable Stiffness Joints.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Existing robotic hands mostly consist of rigid finger mechanism with constant joint stiffness, leading to poor handling performance and even unexpected safety issues. This paper proposed a novel underactuated robotic finger with variable stiffness jo...

Short-term Effects of Robot-Resistance Exercises on Muscle Strength and Activations: Types of Muscle Contraction and Speed of Contraction.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
We developed the isokinetic exercise robot for single joint muscle training. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of contraction types (concentric vs. eccentric contractions) and contractile speeds (slow vs. fast contractions) con...
