In both neurorehabilitation and functional augmentation, the patient or the user's muscular effort diminishes when the movement of their limb is supported by a robot. Is this relaxation a result of "slacking" by letting the robot take-over the moveme...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the accuracy of detecting glaucoma visual field defect severity using deep-learning (DL) classifier with an ultrawide-field scanning laser ophthalmoscope.
fMRI data decomposition techniques have advanced significantly from shallow models such as Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and Sparse Coding and Dictionary Learning (SCDL) to deep learning models such Deep Belief Networks (DBN) and Convolutional...
