ConvLSNet: A lightweight architecture based on ConvLSTM model for the classification of pulmonary conditions using multichannel lung sound recordings.

Characterization of lung sounds (LS) is indispensable for diagnosing respiratory pathology. Although conventional neural networks (NNs) have been widely employed for the automatic diagnosis of lung sounds, deep neural networks can potentially be more useful than conventional NNs by allowing accurate classification without requiring preprocessing and feature extraction. Utilizing the long short-term memory (LSTM) layers to reveal the sequence-based properties of the LS time series, a novel architecture consisting of a cascade of convolutional long short-term memory (ConvLSTM) and LSTM layers, namely ConvLSNet is developed, which permits highly accurate diagnosis of pulmonary disease states.

CollectiveNet-AltSpec: A collective concurrent CNN architecture of alternate specifications for EEG media perception and emotion tracing aided by multi-domain feature-augmentation.

Enhancing computability of cerebral recordings and connections made with human/non-human brain have been on track and are expected to propel in our current era. An effective contribution towards said ends is improving accuracy of attempts at discerning intricate phenomena taking place within human brain. Here and in two different capacities of experiments, we attempt to distinguish cerebral perceptions shaped and affective states surfaced during observation of samples of media incorporating distinct audio-visual and emotional contents, through employing electroencephalograph/EEG recorded sessions of two reputable datasets of DEAP and SEED.

Variations of the spontaneous electrical activities of the neuronal networks imposed by the exposure of electromagnetic radiations using computational map-based modeling.

The interaction between neurons in a neuronal network develops spontaneous electrical activities. But the effects of electromagnetic radiation on these activities have not yet been well explored. In this study, a ring of three coupled 1-dimensional Rulkov neurons and the generated electromagnetic field (EMF) are considered to investigate how the spontaneous activities might change regarding the EMF exposure.

Cuffless blood pressure estimation using chaotic features of photoplethysmograms and parallel convolutional neural network.

Background And Objective: As a nonlinear framework in dynamical system analysis, chaotic approaches are mainly applied to evolve the complexity of biological systems. Due to the chaotic nature of the cardiovascular systems, the nonlinear features can intuitively provide a reliable framework in blood pressure (BP) estimation. Cuffless BP estimation is usually carried out by establishing deep neural network models estimating the BP values through machine-learned features of photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals.

Concatenated convolutional neural network model for cuffless blood pressure estimation using fuzzy recurrence properties of photoplethysmogram signals.

Due to the importance of continuous monitoring of blood pressure (BP) in controlling hypertension, the topic of cuffless BP estimation has been widely studied in recent years. A most important approach is to explore the nonlinear mapping between the recorded peripheral signals and the BP values which is usually conducted by deep neural networks. Because of the sequence-based pseudo periodic nature of peripheral signals such as photoplethysmogram (PPG), a proper estimation model needed to be equipped with the 1-dimensional (1-D) and recurrent layers.

A nonlinear dynamical approach to analysis of emotions using EEG signals based on the Poincaré map function and recurrence plots.

Dynamic variations of electroencephalogram (EEG) contain significant information in the study of human emotional states. Transient time methods are well suited to evaluate short-term dynamic changes in brain activity. Human affective states, however, can be more appropriately analyzed using chaotic dynamical techniques, in which temporal variations are considered over longer durations.

A novel dynamical approach in continuous cuffless blood pressure estimation based on ECG and PPG signals.

Continuous cuffless blood pressure (BP) monitoring has attracted much interest in finding the ideal treatment of diseases and the prevention of premature death. This paper presents a novel dynamical method, based on pulse transit time (PTT) and photoplethysmogram intensity ratio (PIR), for the continuous cuffless BP estimation. By taking the advantages of both the modeling and the prediction approaches, the proposed framework effectively estimates diastolic BP (DBP), mean BP (BP), and systolic BP (SBP).

The ARNN structure allows the development of an effective LS model.
