Elbow training device using the Mechanically Adjustable Stiffness Actuator(MASA).

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 elbow training device using the Mechanically Adjustable Stiffness Actuator(MASA) for stroke survivors with hemiplegia. The MASA is a series elastic actuator whose mechanical stiffness is variable. Stiffness and the neutral posi...

Ensemble learning based on overlapping clusters of subjects to predict microsleep states from EEG.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Microsleeps are brief and involuntary instances of complete loss of sleep-related consciousness. We present a novel approach of creating overlapping clusters of subjects and training of an ensemble classifier to enhance the prediction of microsleep s...

Sensibility Assessment For User Interface And Training Program Of An Upper-Limb Rehabilitation Robot, D-SEMUL.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Upper-limb rehabilitation training for hemiplegic patients has been primarily conducted by human therapists, and, hence, their use of training methods and conditions strongly depends on their expertise. The force control and motion sensing functions ...

A Velocity-Based Flow Field Control Approach for Reshaping Movement of Stroke-Impaired Individuals with a Lower-Limb Exoskeleton.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper describes a controller for guiding and assisting leg movement during walking with a lower limb exoskeleton with actuated hip and knee joints. The primary novel aspect of the controller is that it employs a virtual flow field to influence m...

Design of Soft Robotic Actuation for Supporting Eyelid Closure Movement.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
We have been developing a facial wearable robot to support the eyelid movements of patients with facial paralysis, especially on one side of the face [1]. This robot has a mechanism for supporting eyelid movements, made from a soft material, which is...

Deep Learning Enabled Automatic Abnormal EEG Identification.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In hospitals, physicians diagnose brain-related disorders such as epilepsy by analyzing electroencephalograms (EEG). However, manual analysis of EEG data requires highly trained clinicians or neurophysiologists and is a procedure that is known to hav...

Anatomical Biomarkers for Adolescent Major Depressive Disorder from Diffusion Weighted Imaging using SVM Classifier.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Adolescent Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a common and serious mental illness that could lead to tragic outcomes including chronic adult disability and suicide. In this paper, we explore anatomical features and apply machine learning approaches t...

Sensitivity of Cross-Trained Deep CNNs for Retinal Vessel Extraction.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Automatic segmentation of vascular network is a critical step in quantitatively characterizing vessel remodeling in retinal images and other tissues. We proposed a deep learning architecture consists of 14 layers to extract blood vessels in fundoscop...

Multi-Cell Multi-Task Convolutional Neural Networks for Diabetic Retinopathy Grading.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a non-negligible eye disease among patients with Diabetes Mellitus, and automatic retinal image analysis algorithm for the DR screening is in high demand. Considering the resolution of retinal image is very high, where sm...

Classification of Heart Diseases Based On ECG Signals Using Long Short-Term Memory.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Heart disease classification based on electrocardiogram(ECG) signal has become a priority topic in the diagnosis of heart diseases because it can be obtained with a simple diagnostic tool of low cost. Since early detection of heart disease can enable...
