Ensemble of random forests One vs. Rest classifiers for MCI and AD prediction using ANOVA cortical and subcortical feature selection and partial least squares.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in the elderly and affects approximately 30 million individuals worldwide. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is very frequently a prodromal phase of AD, and existing studies have...

[Emotional robots in a nursing context : Empirical analysis of the present use and the effects of Paro and Pleo].

Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie
BACKGROUND: It has been questioned by researchers in robotics as well in the general public to what extent companion-type robots can support the elderly with the fulfillment of their psychological and social needs. Although these robots have already ...

Learning non-linear patch embeddings with neural networks for label fusion.

Medical image analysis
In brain structural segmentation, multi-atlas strategies are increasingly being used over single-atlas strategies because of their ability to fit a wider anatomical variability. Patch-based label fusion (PBLF) is a type of such multi-atlas approaches...

Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease Based on Resting-State Brain Networks and Deep Learning.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
Computerized healthcare has undergone rapid development thanks to the advances in medical imaging and machine learning technologies. Especially, recent progress on deep learning opens a new era for multimedia based clinical decision support. In this ...

Looking for Alzheimer's Disease morphometric signatures using machine learning techniques.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: We present our results in the International challenge for automated prediction of MCI from MRI data. We evaluate the performance of MRI-based neuromorphometrics features (nMF) in the classification of Healthy Controls (HC), Mild Cognitive...

Ensemble based on static classifier selection for automated diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of neurodegenerative dementia in the elderly population. Scientific research is very active in the challenge of designing automated approaches to achieve an early and certain diagnosis. Re...

Nonlinearity-aware based dimensionality reduction and over-sampling for AD/MCI classification from MRI measures.

Computers in biology and medicine
Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been not only a substantial financial burden to the health care system but also an emotional burden to patients and their families. Making accurate diagnosis of AD based on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is becomi...

Alzheimer's disease and driving: review of the literature and consensus guideline from Belgian dementia experts and the Belgian road safety institute endorsed by the Belgian Medical Association.

Acta neurologica Belgica
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a highly prevalent condition and its prevalence is expected to further increase due to the aging of the general population. It is obvious that the diagnosis of AD has implications for driving. Finally, driving discussions ...

Support vector machine-based classification of neuroimages in Alzheimer's disease: direct comparison of FDG-PET, rCBF-SPECT and MRI data acquired from the same individuals.

Revista brasileira de psiquiatria (Sao Paulo, Brazil : 1999)
OBJECTIVE: To conduct the first support vector machine (SVM)-based study comparing the diagnostic accuracy of T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (T1-MRI), F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and regional cerebral blood flo...

An Alzheimers disease related genes identification method based on multiple classifier integration.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Alzheimers disease (AD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease and the onset of AD is insidious. Full understanding of the AD-related genes (ADGs) has not been completed. The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI...
