Article Synopsis
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is commonly diagnosed through behavioral analyses, but this study aims to improve diagnosis by using upper limb movement kinematics and deep learning methods to identify potential biomarkers in children.
- The research involved 41 school-age children (with and without ASD) using an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) on their wrist while performing tasks, revealing distinct movement patterns in children with ASD compared to typical development (TD) children.
- The study achieved a classification accuracy of about 78.1% using a Multilayer Perceptron model, highlighting the promise of incorporating motion analysis and advanced technology for earlier and more objective ASD diagnosis.
Height is an important health parameter employed across domains, including healthcare, aesthetics, and athletics. Numerous non-contact methods for height measurement exist; however, most are limited to assessing height in an upright posture. This study presents a non-contact approach for measuring human height in 2D space across different postures.

This study introduces two sensors, which use a near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technique to measure placental oxygen saturation transabdominally. The first one, an NIRS sensor, is a wearable device consisting of multiple NIRS channels.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA two-stream convolutional neural network (TCNN) for breathing pattern classification has been devised for the continuous monitoring of patients with infectious respiratory diseases. The TCNN consists of a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based autoencoder and classifier. The encoder of the autoencoder generates deep compressed feature maps, which contain the most important information constituting data.

Do visual perception and information processing adhere to this cascade near the beginning of life? To date, this three-stage hypothetical cascade has not been comprehensively tested in infants. In two related experiments, we attempted to expose this cascade in 6-month-old infants.
