This study proposes a neglect-identification system to evaluate the ability of patients with USN to process higher-order information. The measurement is done by varying the complexity of stimuli presented in an immersive virtual-reality space. Clinical study was conducted on three patients with USN using the new system, and the results showed that the USN patients were able to recognize simple presented objects, but neglected complex presented objects on the neglected side. The difference in reaction time between complex and simple presented objects was compared, and it was found that there was a delay in the neglected side, assumed to be a delay in higher-order information processing. The time lapse from stimulus presentation to recognition is divided into search and recognition time, and the cause of the degradation in higher-order information processing is clarified based on eye movement during recognition time. Furthermore, quantifying the ability to process high-order information using the proposed higher-order information-processing (HoIP) index shows that this ability deteriorates spatially and in the neglected area.Clinical Relevance- The system developed in this study should provide efficient rehabilitation for each patient because it can evaluate the patient's ability to process higher-order information in a three-dimensional space.</p>","PeriodicalId":72237,"journal":{"name":"Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

In this study, we introduce a novel musculoskeletal modelling approach to simulate the biomechanical impact of ankle foot orthoses (AFO) on gait in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Leveraging data from the Swiss Paraplegic Center, we constructed anatomically and muscularly scaled models for SCI-AFO users, aiming to predict changes in gait kinematics and kinetics. The importance of this work lies in its potential to enhance rehabilitation strategies and improve quality of life by enabling the pre-manufacturing assessment of assistive devices. Despite the application of musculoskeletal models in simulating walking aids effects in other conditions, no predictive model currently exists for SCI gait. Evaluation through RMSE showed similar results compared with other pathologies, simulation errors ranged between 0.23 to 2.3 degrees in kinematics. Moreover, the model was able to capture ankle joint muscular asymmetries and predict symmetry improvements with AFO use. However, the simulation did not reveal all the AFO effects, indicating a need for more personalized model parameters and optimized muscle activation to fully replicate orthosis effects on SCI gait.</p>","PeriodicalId":72237,"journal":{"name":"Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

The effectiveness of such treatment is dependent on the accuracy of medication delivery. Thus, personalized inhalation therapy wherein inhaler designs are specifically suited to the patient's needs is highly desirable. Although computational fluid-particle dynamics (CFPD)-based simulation has demonstrated potential in advancing personalized inhalation therapy, it still requires a 3D model of the patient's respiratory system. Such a model could be constructed with computed tomography (CT) images; however, CT scans are costly and have a high risk of radiation exposure. This concern motivates this study to bridge chest CT images and pulmonary function test (PFT) data, which is noninvasive and easy to obtain. To achieve this goal, an autoencoder is leveraged to find a lower dimensional representation of the CT image; PFT data is then mapped to the encoded image using partial least squares (PLS) regression. Using the decoder in the trained autoencoder, a CT image can be reconstructed by the encoded image predicted by PFT data. This method would allow for greater accessibility to chest CT imaging without exposing patients to the potential negative effects of CT scans, significantly advancing personalized inhalation therapy for respiratory diseases. The results of preliminary experiments using a real-world dataset demonstrate promising performance with our proposed approach.</p>","PeriodicalId":72237,"journal":{"name":"Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

For multimodal biosignal sensing, the modalities often face data loss due to missing channels in the data which can adversely affect the gesture classification performance. To make the classifiers robust to missing channels in the data, this paper proposes using Random Channel Ablation (RChA) during the training process. Ultrasound and force myography (FMG) data were acquired from the forearm for 12 hand gestures over 2 subjects. The resulting multimodal data had 16 total channels, 8 for each modality. The proposed method was applied to convolutional neural network architecture, and compared with baseline, imputation, and oracle methods. Using 5-fold cross-validation for the two subjects, on average, 12.2% and 24.5% improvement was observed for gesture classification with up to 4 and 8 missing channels respectively compared to the baseline. Notably, the proposed method is also robust to an increase in the number of missing channels compared to other methods. These results show the efficacy of using random channel ablation to improve classifier robustness for multimodal and multi-channel biosignal-based hand gesture classification.</p>","PeriodicalId":72237,"journal":{"name":"Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

However, current deep model research on the morphological analysis of hippocampus is mainly based on 2D MRI slices, lacking a comprehensive description of the 3D surface morphology and complex textures of the hippocampus. For this reason, we propose a two-stream multi features deep learning model that establishes a descriptive system for 3D spatial structure and morphological atrophy features on the triangular mesh of left and right hippocampus. First, we encode the triangular mesh data into the spatial structural features of the hippocampal surface. Second, considering the tubular structure of the hippocampus and the inhomogeneous morphological changes caused by AD, we introduce the thickness features and Heat Kernel Signature (HKS) features for the morphological atrophy features encoding. Third, we integrate the encoded features of adjacent faces from a macroscopic perspective into the discriminative morphological features induced by AD. Finally, driven by classification tasks, the deep learning model parameters and the discriminative features are continuously optimized, thereby improving the accuracy of AD diagnosis. Our method is evaluated based on the T 1 weighted sMRI baseline data of 269 Aβ+ AD and 437 Aβ-normal cognitively(NC) subjects collected from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database.
