Adversarially-Regularized Mixed Effects Deep Learning (ARMED) Models Improve Interpretability, Performance, and Generalization on Clustered (non-iid) Data.

Natural science datasets frequently violate assumptions of independence. Samples may be clustered (e.g.

Glaucoma Diagnosis Through the Integration of Optical Coherence Tomography/Angiography and Machine Learning Diagnostic Models.

Purpose: To establish optical coherence tomography (OCT)/angiography (OCTA) parameter ranges for healthy eyes (HE) and glaucomatous eyes (GE) for a North Texas based population; to develop a machine learning (ML) tool and to identify the most accurate diagnostic parameters for clinical glaucoma diagnosis.

Patients And Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, we included 1371 eligible eyes, 462 HE and 909 GE (377 ocular hypertension, 160 mild, 156 moderate, 216 severe), from 735 subjects. Demographic data and full OCTA parameters were collected.

Association between resting-state functional brain connectivity and gene expression is altered in autism spectrum disorder.

Gene expression covaries with brain activity as measured by resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, it is unclear how genomic differences driven by disease state can affect this relationship. Here, we integrate from the ABIDE I and II imaging cohorts with datasets of gene expression in brains of neurotypical individuals and individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with regionally matched brain activity measurements from fMRI datasets.

MEGnet: Automatic ICA-based artifact removal for MEG using spatiotemporal convolutional neural networks.

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a functional neuroimaging tool that records the magnetic fields induced by neuronal activity; however, signal from non-neuronal sources can corrupt the data. Eye-blinks, saccades, and cardiac activity are three of the most common sources of non-neuronal artifacts. They can be measured by affixing eye proximal electrodes, as in electrooculography (EOG), and chest electrodes, as in electrocardiography (ECG), however this complicates imaging setup, decreases patient comfort, and can induce further artifacts from movement.
