The TacTip Family: Soft Optical Tactile Sensors with 3D-Printed Biomimetic Morphologies.

Soft robotics
Tactile sensing is an essential component in human-robot interaction and object manipulation. Soft sensors allow for safe interaction and improved gripping performance. Here we present the TacTip family of sensors: a range of soft optical tactile sen...

A new approach to detect the coding rule of the cortical spiking model in the information transmission.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Investigation of the role of the local field potential (LFP) fluctuations in encoding the received sensory information by the nervous system remains largely unknown. On the other hand, transmission of these translation rules in information transmissi...

Automated diagnosis of focal liver lesions using bidirectional empirical mode decomposition features.

Computers in biology and medicine
Liver is the heaviest internal organ of the human body and performs many vital functions. Prolonged cirrhosis and fatty liver disease may lead to the formation of benign or malignant lesions in this organ, and an early and reliable evaluation of thes...

Prediction of venous thromboembolism using semantic and sentiment analyses of clinical narratives.

Computers in biology and medicine
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the third most common cardiovascular disorder. It affects people of both genders at ages as young as 20 years. The increased number of VTE cases with a high fatality rate of 25% at first occurrence makes preventive mea...

Robot life: simulation and participation in the study of evolution and social behavior.

History and philosophy of the life sciences
This paper explores the case of using robots to simulate evolution, in particular the case of Hamilton's Law. The uses of robots raises several questions that this paper seeks to address. The first concerns the role of the robots in biological resear...

A machine learning approach to integrate big data for precision medicine in acute myeloid leukemia.

Nature communications
Cancers that appear pathologically similar often respond differently to the same drug regimens. Methods to better match patients to drugs are in high demand. We demonstrate a promising approach to identify robust molecular markers for targeted treatm...

Case-study of a user-driven prosthetic arm design: bionic hand versus customized body-powered technology in a highly demanding work environment.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Prosthetic arm research predominantly focuses on "bionic" but not body-powered arms. However, any research orientation along user needs requires sufficiently precise workplace specifications and sufficiently hard testing. Forensic medicin...

Motor modules during adaptation to walking in a powered ankle exoskeleton.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Modules of muscle recruitment can be extracted from electromyography (EMG) during motions, such as walking, running, and swimming, to identify key features of muscle coordination. These features may provide insight into gait adaptation as...

Machine learning: supervised methods.

Nature methods
Supervised learning algorithms extract general principles from observed examples guided by a specific prediction objective.

Random ensemble learning for EEG classification.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
Real-time detection of seizure activity in epilepsy patients is critical in averting seizure activity and improving patients' quality of life. Accurate evaluation, presurgical assessment, seizure prevention, and emergency alerts all depend on the rap...
