Information support robots (ISRs) have the potential to assist older people living alone to have an independent life. However, the effects of ISRs on the daily activity, especially the sleep patterns, of older people have not been clarified; moreover...

OBJECTIVE: A downside of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's Disease (PD) is that cognitive function may deteriorate postoperatively. Electroencephalography (EEG) was explored as biomarker of cognition using a Machine Learning (ML) pipeline.
BACKGROUND: Identifying cognitive impairment early enough could support timely intervention that may hinder or delay the trajectory of cognitive impairment, thus increasing the chances for successful cognitive aging.
A key goal in neuroscience is to understand brain mechanisms of cognitive functions. An emerging approach is "brain decoding", which consists of inferring a set of experimental conditions performed by a participant, using pattern classification of br...

As a surrogate for human tactile cognition, an artificial tactile perception and cognition system are proposed to produce smooth/soft and rough tactile sensations by its user's tactile feeling; and named this system as "tactile avatar". A piezoelectr...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a global burden, which is estimated to be the third leading cause of death worldwide by 2030. The economic burden of COPD grows continuously because it is not a curable disease. These conditions make CO...
We aimed to delineate the neuropsychological and psychopathological profiles of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) and look for associations with clinical parameters. We conducted a prospective observational study in children with CHD who u...
The concept of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is used to describe the early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and identification and treatment before further decline is an important clinical task. We selected longitudinal data from the ADNI databa...
Modeling a real-world system by means of a neural model involves numerous challenges that range from formulating transparent knowledge representations to obtaining reliable simulation errors. However, that knowledge is often difficult to formalize in...
Task-trained artificial recurrent neural networks (RNNs) provide a computational modeling framework of increasing interest and application in computational, systems, and cognitive neuroscience. RNNs can be trained, using deep-learning methods, to per...
