. Effective treatment methods are needed for moderate/severely impairment chronic stroke. . The questions were the following: (1) Is there need for long-dose therapy or is there a mid-treatment plateau? (2) Are the observed gains from the prior-studi...
The electroencephalogram (EEG) signal contains useful information on physiological states of the brain and has proven to be a potential biomarker to realize the complex dynamic behavior of the brain. Epilepsy is a brain disorder described by recurren...
Psychological sciences have identified a wealth of cognitive processes and behavioral phenomena, yet struggle to produce cumulative knowledge. Progress is hamstrung by siloed scientific traditions and a focus on explanation over prediction, two issue...
Numerous brain disorders are associated with ventriculomegaly, including both neuro-degenerative diseases and cerebrospinal fluid disorders. Detailed evaluation of the ventricular system is important for these conditions to help understand the pathog...

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to measure the impact of antibiotic exposure on the acquisition of colonization with extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Gram-negative bacteria (ESBL-GNB) accounting for individual- and group-level confounding...
Cardiac signal contamination has long confounded the analysis of blood-oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Cardiac pulsation results in significant BOLD signal changes, especially in and around blood vesse...
Dialogue-based simulation is a real-world practice technique for medical and clinical education that provides students with an opportunity to train using hands-on experiences without putting actual patients being put at risk. In this paper, a 3D inte...
PURPOSE: Recent advances in machine learning have enabled better understanding of large and complex visual data. Here, we aim to investigate patient outcome prediction with a machine learning method using only an image of tumour sample as an input.
As the challenge of mental health problems such as anxiety and depression increasing today, more convenient, objective, real-time assessing techniques of mental state are in need. The Microsoft Kinect camera is a possible option for contactlessly cap...
