Traditional neuroimage analysis pipelines involve computationally intensive, time-consuming optimization steps, and thus, do not scale well to large cohort studies with thousands or tens of thousands of individuals. In this work we propose…
Stroke is the second most common cause of death in developed countries, where rapid clinical intervention can have a major impact on a patient's life. To perform the revascularization procedure, the decision making of physicians considers…
Based on recent health statistics, there are several thousands of people with limb disability and gait disorders that require a medical assistance. A robot assisted rehabilitation therapy can help them recover and return to a normal life.…
The ability to engage in other activities during the ride is considered by consumers as one of the key reasons for the adoption of automated vehicles. However, engagement in non-driving activities will provoke occupants' motion sickness,…
There has long been debates on how we could interpret neural networks and understand the decisions our models make. Specifically, why deep neural networks tend to be error-prone when dealing with samples that output low softmax scores. We…
Background: Coordinated control of eye and hand movements is critical for nearly all goal-directed actions, underpinning tasks ranging from simple object manipulation to complex tool use. This coordination relies on temporal coupling…
Energy efficiency and low latency are crucial requirements for designing wearable AI-empowered human activity recognition systems, due to the hard constraints of battery operations and closed-loop feedback. While neural network models have…
Ischemic stroke is a common disease in the elderly population, which can cause long-term disability and even death. However, the time window for treatment of ischemic stroke in its acute stage is very short. To fast localize and…
Accurate reconstruction of implanted knee models is crucial in orthopedic surgery and biomedical engineering, enhancing preoperative planning, optimizing implant design, and improving surgical outcomes. Traditional methods rely on…
For many movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease and ataxia, disease progression is visually assessed by a clinician using a numerical disease rating scale. These tests are subjective, time-consuming, and must be administered by a…

This letter introduces the notion of a matrix measure flow as a tool for analyzing the stability of neural networks with time-varying weights. Given a matrix flow -- for example, one induced by gradient-based adaptation -- the matrix…
Cerebral stroke, the second most substantial cause of death universally, has been a primary public health concern over the last few years. With the help of machine learning techniques, early detection of various stroke alerts is accessible,…
Automation of sleep analysis, including both macrostructural (sleep stages) and microstructural (e.g., sleep spindles) elements, promises to enable large-scale sleep studies and to reduce variance due to inter-rater incongruencies. While…
Standard clinical assessments of upper-extremity motor function after stroke either rely on ordinal scoring, which lacks sensitivity, or time-based task metrics, which do not capture movement quality. In this work, we present a computer…
The accelerometer has become an almost ubiquitous device, providing enormous opportunities in healthcare monitoring beyond step counting or other average energy estimates in 15-60 second epochs. Objective: To develop an open data set with…
