PURPOSE: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have obtained enormous success in liver segmentation. However, there are several challenges, including low-contrast images, and large variations in the shape, and appearance of the liver. Incorporating pr...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of electroencephalographic (EEG) volume conduction in different measures of functional connectivity and to characterize the EEG coupling alterations at the different stages of dementia due t...
Muscular hydrostats have long been a source of inspiration for soft robotic designs. With their inherent compliance, they excel in unpredictable environments and can gently manipulate objects with ease. However, their performance lacks where high for...
While designing a dynamic hand orthosis to assist during activities of daily living, the designer has to know whether a concept will have sufficient grasp performance to support these activities. This is often estimated by measuring the interaction f...
