Eating speed is an important indicator that has been widely investigated in nutritional studies. The relationship between eating speed and several intake-related problems such as obesity, diabetes, and oral health has received increased…
According to the CDC, one key step of preventing oneself from contracting coronavirus (COVID-19) is to avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. However, touching one's face is a frequent and spontaneous behavior---one study…
We report a novel non-contact method for dehydration monitoring. We utilize a transmit software defined radio (SDR) that impinges a wideband radio frequency (RF) signal (of frequency 5.23 GHz) onto either the chest or the hand of a subject…
Automatic detection of individual intake gestures during eating occasions has the potential to improve dietary monitoring and support dietary recommendations. Existing studies typically make use of on-body solutions such as inertial and…
Can a robot grasp an unknown object without seeing it? In this paper, we present a tactile-sensing based approach to this challenging problem of grasping novel objects without prior knowledge of their location or physical properties. Our…
Detecting tremors is challenging for both humans and machines. Infants exposed to opioids during pregnancy often show signs and symptoms of withdrawal after birth, which are easy to miss with the human eye. The constellation of clinical…
Tactile sensors supply useful information during the interaction with an object that can be used for assessing the stability of a grasp. Most of the previous works on this topic processed tactile readings as signals by calculating…
Automated food intake gesture detection plays a vital role in dietary monitoring, enabling objective and continuous tracking of eating behaviors to support better health outcomes. Wrist-worn inertial measurement units (IMUs) have been…
This article reports nonintuitive characteristic of a splashing drop on a solid surface discovered through extracting image features using a feedforward neural network (FNN). Ethanol of area-equivalent radius about 1.29 mm was dropped from…
Teeth gestures become an alternative input modality for different situations and accessibility purposes. In this paper, we present TeethTap, a novel eyes-free and hands-free input technique, which can recognize up to 13 discrete teeth…
Objective: Birth asphyxia is one of the leading causes of neonatal deaths. A key for survival is performing immediate and continuous quality newborn resuscitation. A dataset of recorded signals during newborn resuscitation, including…
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors due to insufficient or definition error(s) in the ethics approval protocol. Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) impact the cognitive, social, communicative and behavioral abilities of an individual.…
We present MAMMA, a markerless motion-capture pipeline that accurately recovers SMPL-X parameters from multi-view video of two-person interaction sequences. Traditional motion-capture systems rely on physical markers. Although they offer…
Many neuromuscular disorders impair function of cranial nerve enervated muscles. Clinical assessment of cranial muscle function has several limitations. Clinician rating of symptoms suffers from inter-rater variation, qualitative or…
This paper considers the problem of recognizing eating gestures by tracking wrist motion. Eating gestures can have large variability in motion depending on the subject, utensil, and type of food or beverage being consumed. Previous works…
Non-contact physiological measurement has the potential to provide low-cost, non-invasive health monitoring. However, machine vision approaches are often limited by the availability and diversity of annotated video datasets resulting in…
Continuous monitoring of non-invasive skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA) holds promise for understanding the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) dynamics in various physiological and pathological conditions. However, muscle noise artifacts…
Resting state fMRI (rsfMRI) has been shown to be a promising tool to study intrinsic functional connectivity and assess its integrity in cerebral development. In neonates, where fMRI is limited to few paradigms, rsfMRI was shown to be a…
Infant motility assessment using intelligent wearables is a promising new approach for assessment of infant neurophysiological development, and where efficient signal analysis plays a central role. This study investigates the use of…
Self-touch gestures (e.g., nuanced facial touches and subtle finger scratches) provide rich insights into human behaviors, from hygiene practices to health monitoring. However, existing approaches fall short in detecting such micro gestures…
