Wirelessly powered implants are increasingly being developed to interface with neurons due to its small size. The matching network (MN) within the wireless IMD is a crucial component influencing system efficiency. Conventional approaches using fixed-value MNs struggle to adapt to changes in parameters and environment. This research proposes an adaptive algorithm-based MN that enabels the system to automatically track the maximum rectified voltage despite variations in frequency and inductor, as well as sampling errors due to random external interference. For the first time, an active voltage limiter has been integrated into the MN to reject excess power in order to safeguard the chip, rather than dissipating it as heat. Implemented in TSMC 65nm technology, this system can operate under ±15% inductance fluctuation and ±10% frequency fluctuation at 500 MHz, enabling unusable systems to obtain sufficient power. The chosen proof-of-concept for this work is a neural stimulating IMD but this approach can extend beyond this setup.</p>","PeriodicalId":72237,"journal":{"name":"Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

Our proposed approach draws parallels with the dual spin-echo DW technique. However, our methodology distinguishes itself by utilizing positive and negative gradients to independently capture fully sampled navigator-echo data. Following this, we employ algorithms grounded in low-rank constraints, in conjunction with the reacquired navigator-echo data to address the two major phase errors inherent in Multi-Shot DWI (MSDWI).

However, since the cerebral cortex lobes function individually and/or collaboratively across diverse tasks, there exist substantial differences between intra-lobe and inter-lobe brain intrinsic functional connectivity. Existing graph networks for EEG classification are based on homogeneous graphs, yet the nature of the cerebral cortex aligns more closely with a heterogeneous graph structure. To this end, we propose HeteroEEG for EEG classification, which to the best of our knowledge is the first to reframe the challenge of exploring EEG spatial information, especially decoupling different types of brain lobes and functional connections, as heterogeneous graph reasoning. Specifically, HeteroEEG is designed to be a dual-branch network aware of spatial, spectral, and temporal EEG features. Experimental results justify the superiority of HeteroEEG in pain and emotion recognition compared with other state-of-the-art studies. The heterogeneous graph construction of HeteroEEG may shed light on future graph-based EEG classification network design.</p>","PeriodicalId":72237,"journal":{"name":"Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

The existing rehabilitative systems constrain the patient to move with the system, making it difficult for the patient to eventually perform the movement independently without facing resistance from the system. This paper proposes the design of an STS rehabilitation system that assists subjects only in the parts of the motion that they fail to perform independently. The assistance is provided in a two-phase process and allows subject to attempt different levels of difficulty dynamically without having to select a target difficulty level before the start of the therapy session. The individual under test also receives real-time feedback on the movement from a multi-sensory feedback system. Post the movement, a score is generated from the system, allowing both the subject and physiotherapist to track the long-term progress of the individual under treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":72237,"journal":{"name":"Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

In this study, we propose an innovative wearable system for distinguishing neurological disorder events using a mechano-acoustic (MA) sensor and multi-class ensemble classification model. The MA sensor exhibits a high sensitivity to neck vibration without any interference from ambient sounds. A multi-class classification model was also developed to discern the symptoms from the recorded signals accurately.

Experiments were conducted with five young, healthy individuals. Participants underwent biofeedback training sessions involving tasks such as maintaining the center of pressure of the feet within specific targets, and performed quiet standing tasks and standing tasks with both open and closed eyes before and after the training sessions.The results showed suggestive correlations between changes in sway during quiet standing and changes in sway with eyes open and closed before and after the training session, which differed between the training and control groups. This supports the hypothesis and suggests that biofeedback training may indirectly affect postural balance ability by altering the way sensory information is used and the existence of diverse strategies.Clinical Relevance- This leads to more effective biofeedback training designs based on reweighting in the use of sensory information.</p>","PeriodicalId":72237,"journal":{"name":"Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

A single feature called gridded distribution entropy derived from Poincaré plots of EEG signal provides 100% accuracy in distinguishing healthy controls from each pathology, except insomnia and PLM. With the EOG channel, we are able to classify these two groups as well with 100% accuracy, demonstrating the effectiveness of EOG in disambiguating insomnia and PLM from controls.Clinical relevance- Diagnosis of sleep disorders is important to facilitate appropriate treatment.
