Control of a Robotic Hand Using a Tongue Control System-A Prosthesis Application.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using an inductive tongue control system (ITCS) for controlling robotic/prosthetic hands and arms.

Color Correction Parameter Estimation on the Smartphone and Its Application to Automatic Tongue Diagnosis.

Journal of medical systems
BACKGROUND: An automatic tongue diagnosis framework is proposed to analyze tongue images taken by smartphones. Different from conventional tongue diagnosis systems, our input tongue images are usually in low resolution and taken under unknown lightin...

A Bayesian approach to distinguishing interdigitated tongue muscles from limited diffusion magnetic resonance imaging.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
The tongue is a critical organ for a variety of functions, including swallowing, respiration, and speech. It contains intrinsic and extrinsic muscles that play an important role in changing its shape and position. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has b...

Neural network pattern recognition of lingual-palatal pressure for automated detection of swallow.

Dysphagia
We describe a novel device and method for real-time measurement of lingual-palatal pressure and automatic identification of the oral transfer phase of deglutition. Clinical measurement of the oral transport phase of swallowing is a complicated proces...

[Tongue swabs: a novel tool for tuberculosis screening].

Zhonghua jie he he hu xi za zhi = Zhonghua jiehe he huxi zazhi = Chinese journal of tuberculosis and respiratory diseases
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global public health threat. Achieving the 2035 target for TB elimination requires interrupting its community transmission, which depends critically on enhancing case detection. Active screening for TB in commu...

Ultrasound measurement of relative tongue size and its correlation with tongue mobility for healthy individuals.

JASA express letters
The size of an individual's tongue relative to the oral cavity is associated with articulation speed [Feng, Lu, Zheng, Chi, and Honda, in Proceedings of the 10th Biennial Asia Pacific Conference on Speech, Language, and Hearing (2017), pp. 17-19)] an...

An Annotated Multi-Site and Multi-Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging Dataset for the study of the Human Tongue Musculature.

Scientific data
This dataset provides the first annotated, openly available MRI-based imaging dataset for investigations of tongue musculature, including multi-contrast and multi-site MRI data from non-disease participants. The present dataset includes 47 participan...

Mandarin Speech Reconstruction from Tongue Motion Ultrasound Images based on Generative Adversarial Networks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Speech impairment resulting from laryngectomy causes severe physiological and psychological distress to laryngectomee. In clinical practice, the upper vocal tract articulatory organs function normally in most laryngectomee. The potential to reconstru...

A new method for identification of traditional Chinese medicine constitution based on tongue features with machine learning.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: The theory of Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution contributes to the optimisation of individualised healthcare programmes. However, at present, TCM constitution identification mainly relies on inefficient questionnaires with subjective bi...
