In this paper, we explore the possibility to apply machine learning to make diagnostic predictions using discomfort drawings. A discomfort drawing is an intuitive way for patients to express discomfort and pain related symptoms. These…
People with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) complain of problems with hand dexterity and cognitive fatigue. However, in many cases, impairments are subtle and difficult to detect. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive…
Background: The role of neonatal pain on the developing nervous system is not completely understood, but evidence suggests that sensory pathways are influenced by an infants pain experience. Research has shown that an infants previous pain…
Chronic pain is a pervasive disorder which is often very disabling and is associated with comorbidities such as depression and anxiety. Neuropathic Pain (NP) is a common sub-type which is often caused due to nerve damage and has a known…
Assessing chronic pain behavior in mice is critical for preclinical studies. However, existing methods mostly rely on manual labeling of behavioral features, and humans lack a clear understanding of which behaviors best represent chronic…
Motion simulators allow researchers to safely investigate the interaction of drivers with a vehicle. However, many studies that use driving simulator data to predict cognitive load only employ two levels of workload, leaving a gap in…
Diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a challenging problem, and is based purely on behavioral descriptions of symptomology (DSM-5/ICD-10), and requires informants to observe children with disorder across different settings (e.g.…
Pain is a complex phenomenon which is manifested and expressed by patients in various forms. The immediate and objective recognition of it is a great of importance in order to attain a reliable and unbiased healthcare system. In this work,…
Pain is a multifaceted phenomenon that affects a substantial portion of the population. Reliable and consistent evaluation supports individuals experiencing pain and enables the development of effective and advanced management strategies.…
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is a crucial non-invasive technique for exploring the microstructure of the living human brain. Traditional hand-crafted and model-based tissue microstructure reconstruction methods often require…
Schizophrenia is a severe yet treatable mental disorder, it is diagnosed using a multitude of primary and secondary symptoms. Diagnosis and treatment for each individual depends on the severity of the symptoms, therefore there is a need for…
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive optical technique that measures brain activity by estimating blood oxygenation using near-infrared light. Traditionally, PsychoPy is used in many studies to send task-specific…
Affective states regulate our day to day to function and has a tremendous effect on mental and physical health. Detection of affective states is of utmost importance for mental health monitoring, smart entertainment selection and dynamic…
Pain is a serious worldwide health problem that affects a vast proportion of the population. For efficient pain management and treatment, accurate classification and evaluation of pain severity are necessary. However, this can be…
Neonates do not have the ability to either articulate pain or communicate it non-verbally by pointing. The current clinical standard for assessing neonatal pain is intermittent and highly subjective. This discontinuity and subjectivity can…
Accurate assessment of bimanual motor skills is essential across various professions, yet, traditional methods often rely on subjective assessments or focus solely on motor actions, overlooking the integral role of cognitive processes. This…
This study presents a systematic machine-learning approach for classifying acute pain from raw electrophysiological signals. We address binary and ternary classification tasks, leveraging Power-In-Band (PIB) and signal coherence as…
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder. Finding the biomarkers associated with ASD is extremely helpful to understand the underlying roots of the disorder and can lead to earlier diagnosis and more targeted…
Resting State Networks (RSNs) of the brain extracted from Resting State functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (RS-fMRI) are used in the pre-surgical planning to guide the neurosurgeon. This is difficult, though, as expert knowledge is…
Chronic pain is defined as pain that lasts or recurs for more than 3 to 6 months, often long after the injury or illness that initially caused the pain has healed. The "gold standard" for chronic pain assessment remains self report and…
