Insights from EEG analysis of evoked memory recalls using deep learning for emotion charting.

Affect recognition in a real-world, less constrained environment is the principal prerequisite of the industrial-level usefulness of this technology. Monitoring the psychological profile using smart, wearable electroencephalogram (EEG) sensors during daily activities without external stimuli, such as memory-induced emotions, is a challenging research gap in emotion recognition. This paper proposed a deep learning framework for improved memory-induced emotion recognition leveraging a combination of 1D-CNN and LSTM as feature extractors integrated with an Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) classifier.

Dual contrastive learning based image-to-image translation of unstained skin tissue into virtually stained H&E images.

Staining is a crucial step in histopathology that prepares tissue sections for microscopic examination. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, also known as basic or routine staining, is used in 80% of histopathology slides worldwide. To enhance the histopathology workflow, recent research has focused on integrating generative artificial intelligence and deep learning models.

Adaptive Filtering: Issues, Challenges, and Best-Fit Solutions Using Particle Swarm Optimization Variants.

Adaptive equalization is crucial in mitigating distortions and compensating for frequency response variations in communication systems. It aims to enhance signal quality by adjusting the characteristics of the received signal. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms have shown promise in optimizing the tap weights of the equalizer.

sEMG dataset of routine activities.

In this paper, we present the data set of surface electromyography (sEMG) and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) against human muscle activity during routine activities.

The dataset comprises of raw sEMG, accelerometer, gyro and derived orientation signals for four different activities.

RIDB: A Dataset of fundus images for retina based person identification.

The paper describes a dataset, entitled Retina Identification Database (RIDB). The stated dataset contains Retinal fundus images acquired using Fundus imaging camera TOPCON-TRC 50 EX. The abovementioned dataset holds a significant position in retinal recognition and identification.

CNN and LSTM-Based Emotion Charting Using Physiological Signals.

Novel trends in affective computing are based on reliable sources of physiological signals such as Electroencephalogram (EEG), Electrocardiogram (ECG), and Galvanic Skin Response (GSR). The use of these signals provides challenges of performance improvement within a broader set of emotion classes in a less constrained real-world environment. To overcome these challenges, we propose a computational framework of 2D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture for the arrangement of 14 channels of EEG, and a combination of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and 1D-CNN architecture for ECG and GSR.

Neurotransmission cognitive theory: A novel approach for non-invasive brain stimulation using mechanical vibrations for the rehabilitation of neurological patients.

Patients suffering from neurological disorders require not only the treatment but also the rehabilitation to have their productive role in society. With the advent of modern technology and neuroscience techniques, different treatments are proposed and tested clinically. We propose a therapeutic and interventional noninvasive brain stimulation method that applies mechanical vibrations to different nerve points of the body to activate the stimuli.

This paper presents the data set of Optic coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus Images of human eye. The OCT machine TOPCON'S 3D OCT-1000 camera is employed to acquire the images. The dataset is comprised of 50 images which includes control and glaucomatous images.

Data on fundus images for vessels segmentation, detection of hypertensive retinopathy, diabetic retinopathy and papilledema.

This paper presents a dataset that contains 100 high quality fundus images which are acquired from Armed Forces Institute of Ophthalmology (AFIO), Rawalpindi Pakistan. The dataset has been marked by four expert ophthalmologists to aid clinicians and researchers in screening hypertensive retinopathy, diabetic retinopathy and papilledema cases. Moreover, it contains highly detailed annotations for retinal blood vascular patterns, arteries and veins to calculate arteriovenous ratio (AVR), optic nerve head (ONH) region and other retinal anomalies such as hard exudates and cotton wool spots etc.

A Parallel Architecture for the Partitioning Around Medoids (PAM) Algorithm for Scalable Multi-Core Processor Implementation with Applications in Healthcare.

Clustering is the most common method for organizing unlabeled data into its natural groups (called clusters), based on similarity (in some sense or another) among data objects. The Partitioning Around Medoids (PAM) algorithm belongs to the partitioning-based methods of clustering widely used for objects categorization, image analysis, bioinformatics and data compression, but due to its high time complexity, the PAM algorithm cannot be used with large datasets or in any embedded or real-time application. In this work, we propose a simple and scalable parallel architecture for the PAM algorithm to reduce its running time.

Analysis of PCG signals using quality assessment and homomorphic filters for localization and classification of heart sounds.

Background And Objective: Accurate localization of heart beats in phonocardiogram (PCG) signal is very crucial for correct segmentation and classification of heart sounds into S1 and S2. This task becomes challenging due to inclusion of noise in acquisition process owing to number of different factors. In this paper we propose a system for heart sound localization and classification into S1 and S2.
