A non-invasive alternative for deep-brain neuromodulation would likely broaden the range of application. However, existing techniques, such as transcranial electrical or magnetic stimulation (TES, TMS), are limited in their depth of stimulation. In this work, we propose DeepFocus, a new minimally invasive approach for stimulation of the deep brain by inserting electrodes in nasal cavities in conjunction with conventional scalp electrodes. As an initial step, an ex vivo model was designed to quantify the current efficiency of the proposed electrode placement in eliciting neural responses. A simplified geometric configuration was employed, where two linear electrode arrays arranged perpendicularly were used to elicit local field potentials (LFP) in mouse brain slices. Through a combination of finite element simulations to model the electric fields, and LFP measurements, we observed that electrode-patterns that use both arrays (modeling transnasal and scalp electrodes) generated higher electric fields and required less current to evoke responses compared to those that use only a single array (modeling scalp-only or transnasal-only). The benefits of two-array stimulation increased as the distance between the electrodes and the brain slice was increased. In addition, we observed that the relative orientation of the electric field compared to the cortical columns affected the neural responses.</p>","PeriodicalId":72237,"journal":{"name":"Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society.

The hardware simulator in this study mimics the structure and properties of the human cardiovascular system. This reproduces the pulse wave velocity and the generation of a blood pressure wave. The reproduced central-brachial-radial blood pressure waves are similar to those of humans in magnitude, waveform, and changes due to propagation. Blood pressure waves propagate from the central aorta to the radial artery, showing waveform changes due to systolic amplification and reduced overlap area. Reproducing these blood pressure waveforms can compensate for the lack of quantity and quality in clinical data.

However, their optimal tuning depends on the statistical properties of the raw data and on the clinical objectives. To address this issue, we propose a supervised deep learning strategy based on a residual neural network that takes the raw measured data (sinogram) as input and automatically predicts the optimal value of the regularization parameter of the modified block Sequential Regularized Expectation Maximization (BSREM) algorithm.

Data included 36,963 patient encounters from the eICU Research Institute database. The model utilizes 35 features extracted from demographics, vital signs, and laboratory data. It showed enhanced performance in comparison to a version of the Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS*) that considers age and oxygen saturation instead of the level of consciousness. The model achieved an AUROC of 0.79 and AUPRC of 0.28, 24 hours before deterioration, surpassing MEWS* with values of 0.67 and 0.07, respectively. Within an hour before deterioration happens, the proposed model achieved an AUROC of 0.86 and AUPRC of 0.42 while MEWS* achieved 0.74 and 0.21, respectively.

However, the current multimodal fusion methods may suffer from performance degradation when one type of modal data has poor predictive performance. In this study, we presented a two-stage multimodal data fusion approach to alleviate this problem. We first constructed unimodal prediction models using unimodal data separately and then used the encoders of the unimodal with frozen parameters as feature extractors and re-trained a new decoder to achieve the multimodal data fusion. We conducted experiments on real clinical multimodal data of 681 lung cancer patients collected from Peking University Cancer Hospital.

This study introduces a novel approach, utilizing photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal spectrograms as inputs for deep learning models to estimate cf-PWV, a significant advancement over traditional methods. Employing a modified ResNet-18 architecture, we analyze PPG signals from digital, radial, and brachial arteries of a simulated dataset of 4374 healthy adults. Our methodology's innovation lies in its direct use of finely tuned spectrogram images, bypassing the complex feature extraction processes. This approach achieved R<sup>2</sup> (correlation coefficient) values of up to 0.9902 for the digital artery, 0.9898 for the radial artery, and 0.9825 for the brachial artery, coupled with significantly lower Mean Absolute Percentage Errors (MAPE) of approximately 1.61% for the digital, 1.87% for the radial, and 2.08% for the brachial artery.
