An avenue for discerning human emotions lies in the realm of speech analysis. Empirical evidence indicates that 1.6 million Indonesian teenagers grapple with mental anxiety disorders, characterized by sensations of fear or ambiguous vigilance. This work endeavors to devise a tool for discerning an individual's emotional state through voice processing, focusing particularly on fear emotions stratified into three levels of intensity: low, medium, and high. The proposed system employs Gammatone-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (GFCC) for feature extraction, leveraging the efficacy of its gamma filter in reducing noise. Furthermore, a Random Forest (RF) Classifier is integrated to facilitate the recognition of fear's emotional intensity in speech signals. The system is deployed on a Raspberry Pi 4B and establishes a Bluetooth connection using the RFCOMM communication protocol to an Android application, presenting the classification results. The outcomes reveal that the Signal-to-Noise Reduction achieved through GFCC extraction surpasses that of Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC). In terms of accuracy, the implemented recognition system for fear emotion levels, employing GFCC extraction and Random Forest Classifier, attains a commendable accuracy of 73.33 %.","PeriodicalId":515065,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana de Ingeniería Biomédica","volume":"67 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141030773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective was to take advantage of the computer hardware's capabilities and analyze the results obtained regarding quality, processing time, and the number of evaluated functions. The methodology was based on developing a genetic algorithm in Java, which resulted in four different versions: Gp1, Gp2, Gp3 and Gp4 . A set of genetic sequences were processed, and the results were evaluated by analyzing numerical behavior profiles. The research found that algorithms that maintained diversity in the population produced better quality solutions, and parallel processing reduced processing time. It was observed that the time required to perform the process decreased, according to the generated performance profile. The study concluded that conventional computer equipment can produce excellent results when processing genetic information if algorithms are optimized to exploit hardware resources. The computational effort of the hardware used is directly related to the number of evaluated functions. Additionally, the comparison method based on the determination of the performance profile is highlighted as a strategy for comparing the algorithm results in different metrics of interest, which can guide the development of more efficient genetic information processing techniques.","PeriodicalId":515065,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana de Ingeniería Biomédica","volume":"317 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141138803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) offers a non-invasive alternative for respiratory function evaluation while preserving natural breathing. We propose using EIT to detect lung parenchyma conditions by analyzing tidal volume patterns (by averaging the impedance image) in the frequency domain. Twenty COPD patients underwent simultaneous evaluation with a pneumotachometer and an EIT device, performing three 30-second respiratory maneuvers. FFT spectra analysis yielded parameters, including the area under the curve and quartiles (25 %, 50 %, 75 %) of power values in six frequency regions. Correlations between these parameters and clinical test results (pulmonary diffusing capacity and arterial blood gas analysis) revealed significant associations, particularly with PCO2. Multiple linear regression analysis predicted PCO2 with an R2adj = 0.827, suggesting the potential for non-invasively detecting lung parenchyma affectation by correlating FFT bioimpedance ventilatory patterns with gas exchange performance in COPD patients.","PeriodicalId":515065,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana de Ingeniería Biomédica","volume":"2 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141140758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a drowsiness detection system based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals using a pair of channels (Fp1 and Fp2) applied to drivers before entering their vehicles. First, this model detects the relationship between the area under the curve (AUC) of alpha brain waves, an effective parameter for detecting drowsiness. Then, the extracted information is passed to a fuzzy expert system (FES) that classifies the subject's state as \"alert\" or \"sleepy\"; the criterion used was a threshold and training with subjective levels. The proposed system was compared with neural network models, such as support vector machine (SVM), K nearest neighbors (KNN), and random forest (RF). Measurements of one hundred and twenty minutes were performed on each of the ten drivers for two days to test the system. The tests confirm that this system is suitable for preventive measures and that the fuzzy system is superior to traditional neural network methods.","PeriodicalId":515065,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana de Ingeniería Biomédica","volume":"365 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140453379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It analyzes the impact of stress associated with the cause of increased blood pressure and glucose levels in the body. The mathematical analysis is based on the appliance of the nonlinear control theory to define the maximum load capacity for each state variable, establishing a bounded positive invariant domain through the Localization of Compact Invariants Sets (LCIS) method. The objective is to determine the effects of epinephrine secretion on the increase of blood glucose levels; therefore, this analysis's results define the necessary and sufficient conditions in which epinephrine raises insulin and glucose levels in the presence of cells. The interest in studying this type of disease focuses on searching for a treatment or an analysis that guarantees complete control of glucose levels.

Two types of analyses were conducted: between-subjects and within-subjects. Performance measures such as accuracy, area under the curve, and Cohen's Kappa coefficient were compared among five supervised classifier models: K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression (LR), Random Forest (RF), and Decision Trees (DT). The results indicate that, in both analyses, all five models exhibit higher performance in TW ranging from 2 to 15 seconds, with the 10 seconds TW particularly standing out for between-subjects analysis and the 5-second TW for within-subjects; furthermore, TW exceeding 20 seconds are not recommended.
