Agitation is one of the most prevalent symptoms in people with dementia (PwD) that can place themselves and the caregiver's safety at risk. Developing objective agitation detection approaches is important to support health and safety of PwD…
The process of integration of inputs from several sensory modalities in the human brain is referred to as multisensory integration. Age-related cognitive decline leads to a loss in the ability of the brain to conceive multisensory inputs.…
Functional connectivity (FC) between brain regions tracks symptom severity in many neuropsychiatric disorders. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) directly alters regional activity and indirectly alters FC. Predicting how FC will change…
Craniosynostosis is a medical condition that affects the growth of babies' heads, caused by an early fusion of cranial sutures. In recent decades, surgical treatments for craniosynostosis have significantly improved, leading to reduced…
Vital signs have been essential clinical measures. Among these, body temperature (BT) and heart rate (HR) are particularly significant, and numerous studies explored their association in hospitalized adults and children. However, a lack of…
Social visual behavior, as a type of non-verbal communication, plays a central role in studying social cognitive processes in interactive and complex settings of autism therapy interventions. However, for social visual behavior analytics in…
Infants' neurological development is heavily influenced by their motor skills. Evaluating a baby's movements is key to understanding possible risks of developmental disorders in their growth. Previous research in psychology has shown that…
This article provides a comprehensive overview of recent research in the area of Child-Computer Interaction (CCI). The main contributions of the present article are two-fold. First, we present a novel longitudinal CCI database named…
Executive functioning is a cognitive process that enables humans to plan, organize, and regulate their behavior in a goal-directed manner. Understanding and classifying the changes in executive functioning after longitudinal interventions…
Background: Skin marker-based analysis of functional spinal movement is a promising method for quantifying longitudinal effects of treatment interventions in patients with spinal pathologies. However, observed day-to-day changes might not…
An active learning physics course (treatment) was re-organized in an attempt to increase students' problem solving abilities. This re-organized course covered all of the relevant concepts in the first 6 weeks with the final 4 weeks spent in…
Socially Assistive Robots are studied in different Child-Robot Interaction settings. However, logistical constraints limit accessibility, particularly affecting timely support for mental wellbeing. In this work, we have investigated whether…
Children diagnosed with anxiety disorders are taught a range of strategies to navigate situations of heightened anxiety. Techniques such as deep breathing and repetition of mantras are commonly employed, as they are known to be calming and…
The brain's biological age has been considered as a promising candidate for a neurologically significant biomarker. However, recent results based on longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging data have raised questions on its interpretation. A…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neuro-degenerative disorder that affects movement, speech, and coordination. Timely diagnosis and treatment can improve the quality of life for PD patients. However, access to clinical diagnosis is limited in…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a highly heterogeneous disease, including which motor symptoms are dominating. Imaging biomarkers that support subtype stratification could also improve biological understanding and study design, and enable…
Four sections of introductory physics for physical scientists and engineers (about 180 students each) are compared. One section, treatment group, was organized so that students worked to learn the classical ideas connecting forces and…
Aiming at objective early detection of neuromotor disorders such as cerebral palsy, we proposed an innovative non-intrusive approach using a pressure sensing device to classify infant general movements (GMs). Here, we tested the feasibility…
Patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea are mainly treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Good compliance with this therapy is broadly accepted as more than 4h of CPAP average use nightly. Although it is a highly…
Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) help the disabled restore body functions by translating neural activity into digital commands to control external devices. Neural adaptation, where the brain signals change in response to external stimuli or…
