Current diagnostic practice in psychiatry is not relying on objective biophysical evidence. Recent pandemic emphasized the need to address the rising number of mood disorders (in particular, depression) cases in a more efficient way. We are…
Accurate models are essential for design, performance prediction, control, and diagnostics in complex engineering systems. Physics-based models excel during the design phase but often become outdated during system deployment due to changing…
