Eye movements hold information about human perception, intention and cognitive state. Various algorithms have been proposed to identify and distinguish eye movements, particularly fixations, saccades, and smooth pursuits. A major drawback…

When deep neural network (DNN) was first introduced to the medical image analysis community, researchers were impressed by its performance. However, it is evident now that a large number of manually labeled data is often a must to train a…

Gait analysis, an expanding research area, employs non invasive sensors and machine learning techniques for a range of applicatio ns. In this study, we concentrate on gait analysis for detecting cognitive decline in Parkinson's disease (PD)…

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting motor and non-motor functions, with speech impairments among its earliest symptoms. Speech impairments offer a valuable diagnostic opportunity, with machine learning…

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) are the major causes of vision loss in developed countries. Alteration of retinal layer structure and appearance of exudate are the most significant signs of these…

Dementia is a syndrome characterised by the decline of different cognitive abilities. Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most common dementia affecting cognitive domains such as memory and learning, perceptual-motion or executive function.…

Early and accurate identification of parkinsonian syndromes (PS) involving presynaptic degeneration from non-degenerative variants such as Scans Without Evidence of Dopaminergic Deficit (SWEDD) and tremor disorders, is important for…

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor symptoms, including altered voice production in the early stages. Early diagnosis is crucial not only to improve PD patients' quality of life but also to…

A plethora of research in the literature shows how human eye fixation pattern varies depending on different factors, including genetics, age, social functioning, cognitive functioning, and so on. Analysis of these variations in visual…

Eye movements play a vital role in perceiving the world. Eye gaze can give a direct indication of the users point of attention, which can be useful in improving human-computer interaction. Gaze estimation in a non-intrusive manner can make…

In this study we focus on the diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease (PD) based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. We propose a new approach inspired by the functioning of the brain that uses the dynamics, frequency and temporal content of…

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by notable motor and non-motor manifestations. The assessment tool known as the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) plays a crucial role in evaluating the…

Dementia is a neurodegenerative disorder that has been growing among elder people over the past decades. This growth profoundly impacts the quality of life for patients and caregivers due to the symptoms arising from it. Agitation and…

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that significantly impacts motor and non-motor functions. There is currently no treatment that slows or stops neurodegeneration in PD. In this context, assistive technologies (ATs)…

Purpose:Current methods for diagnosis of PD rely on clinical examination. The accuracy of diagnosis ranges between 73% and 84%, and is influenced by the experience of the clinical assessor. Hence, an automatic, effective and interpretable…

This paper presents a novel deep learning enabled, video based analysis framework for assessing the Unified Parkinsons Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) that can be used in the clinic or at home. We report results from comparing the performance…

Parkinson's disease (PD) presents a growing global challenge, affecting over 10 million individuals, with prevalence expected to double by 2040. Early diagnosis remains difficult due to the late emergence of motor symptoms and limitations…

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a degenerative neurological disorder that impairs motor and non-motor functions, significantly reducing quality of life and increasing mortality risk. Early and accurate detection of PD progression is vital for…
