Activity recognition computer vision algorithms can be used to detect the presence of autism-related behaviors, including what are termed "restricted and repetitive behaviors", or stimming, by diagnostic instruments. The limited data that…
As cognitive interventions for older adults evolve, modern technologies are increasingly integrated into their development. This study investigates the efficacy of augmented reality (AR)-based physical-cognitive training using an…
Attention is the brain's mechanism for selectively processing specific stimuli while filtering out irrelevant information. Characterizing changes in attention following long-term interventions (such as transcranial direct current…
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.…
Wearable devices, such as smartwatches and head-mounted displays, are increasingly used for prolonged tasks like remote learning and work, but sustained interaction often leads to user fatigue, reducing efficiency and engagement. This study…
Neuroimaging-driven prediction of brain age, defined as the predicted biological age of a subject using only brain imaging data, is an exciting avenue of research. In this work we seek to build models of brain age based on functional…
An autonomous Artificial Internet of Things (AIoT) system for elderly dementia patients monitoring in a smart home is presented. The system mainly implements two functions based on the activity inference of the sensor data, which are real…
Aging and chronic conditions affect older adults' daily lives, making the early detection of developing health issues crucial. Weakness, which is common across many conditions, can subtly alter physical movements and daily activities.…
Cognitive load, the mental effort required during working memory, is central to neuroscience, psychology, and human-computer interaction. Accurate assessment is vital for adaptive learning, clinical monitoring, and brain-computer…
