Spontaneous activity is a common feature of immature neuronal networks throughout the central nervous system and plays an important role in network development and consolidation. In postnatal rodents, spontaneous activity in the spinal cord exhibits ...
The use of Electronic Health Records (EHR) for translational research can be challenging due to difficulty in extracting accurate disease phenotype data. Historically, EHR algorithms for annotating phenotypes have been either rule-based or trained wi...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The condition of vessel of the human eye is an important factor for the diagnosis of ophthalmological diseases. Vessel segmentation in fundus images is a challenging task due to complex vessel structure, the presence of simi...
Machine learning (ML) algorithms have made a tremendous impact in the field of medical imaging. While medical imaging datasets have been growing in size, a challenge for supervised ML algorithms that is frequently mentioned is the lack of annotated d...
Feedback has been shown to be effective in shifting attention across perceptual cues to a phonological contrast in speech perception (Francis, Baldwin & Nusbaum, 2000). However, the learning mechanisms behind this process remain obscure. We compare t...
As a hot topic in brain disease prognosis, predicting clinical measures of subjects based on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data helps to assess the stage of pathology and predict future development of the disease. Due to incomplete clinical ...
Obtaining the complete segmentation map of retinal lesions is the first step toward an automated diagnosis tool for retinopathy that is interpretable in its decision-making. However, the limited availability of ground truth lesion detection maps at a...
