Handwriting is significantly affected by neurological disorders (ND) such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Prior works have analyzed handwriting tasks using feature-based approaches or computer-vision techniques,…
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative condition where early detection is vital. Handwriting, often affected early in AD, offers a non-invasive and cost-effective way to capture subtle motor changes. State-of-the-art…
In this study, we explored the use of spectrograms to represent handwriting signals for assessing neurodegenerative diseases, including 42 healthy controls (CTL), 35 subjects with Parkinson's Disease (PD), 21 with Alzheimer's Disease (AD),…
In this paper we evaluate the suitability of handwriting patterns as potential biomarkers to model Parkinson disease (PD). Although the study of PD is attracting the interest of many researchers around the world, databases to evaluate…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is debilitating, progressive, and clinically marked by motor symptoms. As the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the world, it affects over 10 million lives globally. Existing diagnoses methods have…
Background and objectives: Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder that affects the motor system producing lack of coordination, resting tremor, and rigidity. Impairments in handwriting are among the main symptoms of the disease.…
Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, is characterized by dopaminergic neuron loss and the accumulation of abnormal synuclein. PD presents both motor and non-motor symptoms that progressively impair…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder with a prevalence rate estimated to 2.0% for people aged over 65 years. Cardinal motor symptoms of PD such as rigidity and bradykinesia affect the muscles involved in the…
The average life expectancy is increasing globally due to advancements in medical technology, preventive health care, and a growing emphasis on gerontological health. Therefore, developing technologies that detect and track aging-associated…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder that impairs movement control, leading to symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and bradykinesia. Many researchers analyzing handwriting data for PD detection typically rely on…
We propose an interpretable 3D Grid-Attention deep neural network that can accurately predict a person's age and whether they have Alzheimer's disease (AD) from a structural brain MRI scan. Building on a 3D convolutional neural network, we…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the main cause of dementia which is accompanied by loss of memory and may lead to severe consequences in peoples' everyday life if not diagnosed on time. Very few works have exploited transformer-based networks…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most frequent neurodegenerative disease with prevalence among general population reaching 0.1-1 %, and an annual incidence between 1.3-2.0/10000 inhabitants. The mean age at diagnosis of PD is 55 and…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a slowly progressing neurodegenerative disease with early manifestation of motor signs. Objective measurements of motor signs are of vital importance for diagnosing, monitoring and developing disease modifying…
Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) such as depression and apathy are common in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and often precede cognitive decline. NPS assessments hold promise as early detection markers due to their correlation with disease…
Alzheimer's disease is one of the most incisive illnesses among the neurodegenerative ones, and it causes a progressive decline in cognitive abilities that, in the worst cases, becomes severe enough to interfere with daily life. Currently,…
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. Amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a common first symptom before the conversion to clinical impairment where the individual becomes unable to perform activities…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder, primarily affecting the elderly population and leading to significant cognitive decline. This decline manifests in various mental faculties such as attention,…
Alzheimer's disease is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder for which early detection is critical. Handwriting-often disrupted in prodromal AD-provides a non-invasive and cost-effective window into subtle motor and cognitive decline.…
\textbf{Objective:} Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia worldwide, encompassing a prodromal stage known as Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), where patients may either progress to AD or remain stable. The objective…
