The electroencephalogram (EEG) can reflect brain activity and contains abundant information of different anesthetic states of the brain. It has been widely used for monitoring depth of anesthesia (DoA). In this study, we propose a method that combine...
Schizophrenia (SCZ) patients and their unaffected first-degree relatives (FDRs) share similar functional neuroanatomy. However, it remains largely unknown to what extent unaffected FDRs with functional neuroanatomy patterns similar to patients can be...

The purpose of this study is to develop a machine learning model to categorically classify MR elastography (MRE)-derived liver stiffness using clinical and nonelastographic MRI radiomic features in pediatric and young adult patients with known or su...
Dialogue-based simulation is a real-world practice technique for medical and clinical education that provides students with an opportunity to train using hands-on experiences without putting actual patients being put at risk. In this paper, a 3D inte...
As the challenge of mental health problems such as anxiety and depression increasing today, more convenient, objective, real-time assessing techniques of mental state are in need. The Microsoft Kinect camera is a possible option for contactlessly cap...
