Bionics is the inspiration resource of state-of-the-art science and technology. The chameleon can capture prey at great distances with the assistance of its highly stretchable and ballistic tongue. Inspired by this biological structure, here we demon...
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) considers that the personal constitution determines the occurrence trend and therapeutic effects of certain diseases, which can be recognized by machine learning through tongue images. However, current machine learn...

Extracting the tongue body accurately from a digital tongue image is a challenge for automated tongue diagnoses, as the blurred edge of the tongue body, interference of pathological details, and the huge difference in the size and shape of the tongue...
OBJECTIVES: High throughput pre-treatment imaging features may predict radiation treatment outcome and guide individualized treatment in radiotherapy (RT). Given relatively small patient sample (as compared with high dimensional imaging features), id...
One application of medical ultrasound imaging is to visualize and characterize human tongue shape and motion in real-time to study healthy or impaired speech production. Due to the low-contrast characteristic and noisy nature of ultrasound images, it...

Long and tedious calibration time hinders the development of motor imagery- (MI-) based brain-computer interface (BCI). To tackle this problem, we use a limited labelled set and a relatively large unlabelled set from the same subject for training bas...
The body constitution is much related to the diseases and the corresponding treatment programs in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It can be recognized by the tongue image diagnosis, so that it is essentially regarded as a problem of tongue image classi...
Tongue base (TB) narrowing is recognized as a significant site of upper airway collapse during sleep in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients and robot technology is expected to have promising clinical utility in OSA patients with TB narrowing. The ...
