Analysis of the role of wind information for efficient chemical plume tracing based on optogenetic silkworm moth behavior.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Many animals use olfactory information to search for feeding areas and other individuals in real time and with high efficiency. We focus on the chemical plume tracing (CPT) ability of male silkworm moths and investigate an efficient CPT strategy for ...

A low-cost, automated parasite diagnostic system via a portable, robotic microscope and deep learning.

Journal of biophotonics
Manual hand counting of parasites in fecal samples requires costly components and substantial expertise, limiting its use in resource-constrained settings and encouraging overuse of prophylactic medication. To address this issue, a cost-effective, au...

In situ tissue classification during laser ablation using acoustic signals.

Journal of biophotonics
We suggest a novel method to classify the type of tissue that is being ablated, using the recorded acoustic sound waves during pulsed ultraviolet laser ablation. The motivation of the current research is tissue classification during vascular interven...

Quantifying ultrasonic mouse vocalizations using acoustic analysis in a supervised statistical machine learning framework.

Scientific reports
Examination of rodent vocalizations in experimental conditions can yield valuable insights into how disease manifests and progresses over time. It can also be used as an index of social interest, motivation, emotional development or motor function de...

Using mid-infrared spectroscopy and supervised machine-learning to identify vertebrate blood meals in the malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis.

Malaria journal
BACKGROUND: The propensity of different Anopheles mosquitoes to bite humans instead of other vertebrates influences their capacity to transmit pathogens to humans. Unfortunately, determining proportions of mosquitoes that have fed on humans, i.e. Hum...

Optimizing colour for camouflage and visibility using deep learning: the effects of the environment and the observer's visual system.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Avoiding detection can provide significant survival advantages for prey, predators, or the military; conversely, maximizing visibility would be useful for signalling. One simple determinant of detectability is an animal's colour relative to its envir...

Reduction of operator radiation exposure using a passive robotic device during fluoroscopy-guided arterial puncture: an experimental study in a swine model.

European radiology experimental
BACKGROUND: Vascular interventions imply radiation exposure to the operating physician (OP). To reduce radiation exposure, we propose a novel passive robotic device for fluoroscopy-guided arterial puncturing.

Q&A: Understanding the composition of behavior.

BMC biology
Understanding the brain requires understanding behavior. New machine vision and learning techniques are poised to revolutionize our ability to analyze behaviors exhibited by animals in the laboratory. Here we describe one such method, Motion Sequenci...

CollaboNet: collaboration of deep neural networks for biomedical named entity recognition.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Finding biomedical named entities is one of the most essential tasks in biomedical text mining. Recently, deep learning-based approaches have been applied to biomedical named entity recognition (BioNER) and showed promising results. Howev...

Computational determination of hERG-related cardiotoxicity of drug candidates.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Drug candidates often cause an unwanted blockage of the potassium ion channel of the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG). The blockage leads to long QT syndrome (LQTS), which is a severe life-threatening cardiac side effect. Therefore...
