A rapid segmentation method of cell boundary for developing embryos using machine learning with a personal computer.

Development, growth & differentiation
Cell segmentation is crucial in the study of morphogenesis in developing embryos, but it had been limited in its accuracy until machine learning methods for image segmentation like U-Net. However, these methods take too much time. In this study, we p...

BMIVPOT, a Fully Automated Version of the Intravenous Pole: Simulation, Design, and Evaluation.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Robotic intravenous poles are automated supportive instrument that needs to be triggered by patients to hold medications and needed supplies. Healthcare engineering of robotic intravenous poles is advancing in order to improve the quality of health s...

Caregiver perspectives on a smart home-based socially assistive robot for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
: Innovative assistive technology can address aging-in-place and caregiving needs of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD). The purpose of this study was to beta-test a novel socially assistive robot (SAR) with a cohort of ...

Economic benefits of microprocessor controlled prosthetic knees: a modeling study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Advanced prosthetic knees allow for more dynamic movements and improved quality of life, but payers have recently started questioning their value. To answer this question, the differential clinical outcomes and cost of microprocessor-cont...

Controlling Complexity of Cerebral Cortex Simulations-I: CxSystem, a Flexible Cortical Simulation Framework.

Neural computation
Simulation of the cerebral cortex requires a combination of extensive domain-specific knowledge and efficient software. However, when the complexity of the biological system is combined with that of the software, the likelihood of coding errors incre...

Activity-aware essential tremor evaluation using deep learning method based on acceleration data.

Parkinsonism & related disorders
BACKGROUND: Essential tremor (ET), one of the most common neurological disorders is typically evaluated with validated rating scales which only provide a subjective assessment during a clinical visit, underestimating the fluctuations tremor during di...

Dual-memory neural networks for modeling cognitive activities of humans via wearable sensors.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Wearable devices, such as smart glasses and watches, allow for continuous recording of everyday life in a real world over an extended period of time or lifelong. This possibility helps better understand the cognitive behavior of humans in real life a...

A Spiking Neural Simulator Integrating Event-Driven and Time-Driven Computation Schemes Using Parallel CPU-GPU Co-Processing: A Case Study.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
Time-driven simulation methods in traditional CPU architectures perform well and precisely when simulating small-scale spiking neural networks. Nevertheless, they still have drawbacks when simulating large-scale systems. Conversely, event-driven simu...

Exponential Stabilization of Memristor-based Chaotic Neural Networks with Time-Varying Delays via Intermittent Control.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
This paper is concerned with the global exponential stabilization of memristor-based chaotic neural networks with both time-varying delays and general activation functions. Here, we adopt nonsmooth analysis and control theory to handle memristor-base...

Of Typewriters and PCs: How the Complication of Computers Limits Us and What to Do About It.

Artificial life
PCs are complicated. Yet, being generally more effective, they have replaced typewriters in everyday life. Because of their complications, many of us wonder at PCs as if they were mysterious ghosts in the machine: entities with powers we cannot expla...
