Living conditions of patients with refractory epilepsy will be significantly improved by a successful prediction of epileptic seizures. A proper warning impending seizure system should be resulted not only in high accuracy and low false positive alar...
Facial expression recognition is related to the automatic identification of affective states of a subject by computational means. Facial expression recognition is used for many applications, such as security, human-computer interaction, driver safety...
AIMS: Describe the implementation and uses of fuzzy cognitive mapping (FCM) as a constructive method for meeting the unique and rapidly evolving needs of nursing inquiry and practice.
Medical image analysis plays an important role in computer-aided liver-carcinoma diagnosis. Aiming at the existing image fuzzy clustering segmentation being not suitable to segment CT image with non-uniform background, a fast robust kernel space fuzz...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images can be used to diagnose brain tumors. Thanks to these images, some methods have so far been proposed in order to distinguish between benign and malignant brain tumors. Many systems attempting to define these tu...
