Despite recent advances in brain research, understanding the various signals for pain and pain intensities in the brain cortex is still a complex task due to temporal and spatial variations of brain hemodynamics. In this paper we have…

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an imaging-based diagnostic tool that provides non-invasive and continuous evaluation of regional tissue oxygenation in real-time. In recent years, NIRS has show promise as a useful monitoring technology…

Currently self-report pain ratings are the gold standard in clinical pain assessment. However, the development of objective automatic measures of pain could substantially aid pain diagnosis and therapy. Recent neuroimaging studies have…

Non-nutritive sucking (NNS), which refers to the act of sucking on a pacifier, finger, or similar object without nutrient intake, plays a crucial role in assessing healthy early development. In the case of preterm infants, NNS behavior is a…

Sensory prediction (SP) is a fundamental mechanism of perception that supports cognitive development. Atypical SP has been reported across multiple neurodevelopmental disorders (ND), suggesting it may constitute an early cross-syndromic…

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an optical technique that is widely used to monitor tissue oxygenation. These devices take advantage of the near infrared light to monitor deep tissues like brain, muscle or placenta. In this study, we…

Assessing pain in patients unable to speak (also called non-verbal patients) is extremely complicated and often is done by clinical judgement. However, this method is not reliable since patients vital signs can fluctuate significantly due…

Currently there is no validated objective measure of pain. Recent neuroimaging studies have explored the feasibility of using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to measure alterations in brain function in evoked and ongoing pain.…

Preterm infants with very low birth weight suffer from a high risk of intra-ventricular hemorrhage(IVH) and other serious diseases. To improve the clinical risk assessment of preterm infants and develop potential clinically makers for the…

Bedside caregivers assess infants' pain at constant intervals by observing specific behavioral and physiological signs of pain. This standard has two main limitations. The first limitation is the intermittent assessment of pain, which might…

Objective: Preterm infants' limb monitoring in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) is of primary importance for assessing infants' health status and motor/cognitive development. Herein, we propose a new approach to preterm infants' limb…

The cries of several full term newborns, recorded during blood sampling, were analyzed. Spectrograms showed the appearance of irregular patterns related to the pain assessed using the method of the DAN scale. In particular, the appearance…

Neonatal pain assessment in clinical environments is challenging as it is discontinuous and biased. Facial/body occlusion can occur in such settings due to clinical condition, developmental delays, prone position, or other external factors.…

Non-invasive, efficient, physical token-less, accurate and stable identification methods for newborns may prevent baby swapping at birth, limit baby abductions and improve post-natal health monitoring across geographies, within the context…

This paper presents the first investigation into the use of fully automated deep learning framework for assessing neonatal postoperative pain. It specifically investigates the use of Bilinear Convolutional Neural Network (B-CNN) to extract…

Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) has emerged as a valuable tool to investigate cognitive and emotional processes during learning. We focus specifically on game-integrated learning systems as the context for fNIRS-based brain…

Preterm birth remains a leading cause of neonatal mortality, disproportionately affecting low-resource settings with limited access to advanced neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).Continuous monitoring of infant behavior, such as…

Detecting tremors is challenging for both humans and machines. Infants exposed to opioids during pregnancy often show signs and symptoms of withdrawal after birth, which are easy to miss with the human eye. The constellation of clinical…

Precise monitoring of respiratory rate in premature infants is essential to initiate medical interventions as required. Wired technologies can be invasive and obtrusive to the patients. We propose a Deep Learning enabled wearable monitoring…

The current practice for assessing neonatal postoperative pain relies on bedside caregivers. This practice is subjective, inconsistent, slow, and discontinuous. To develop a reliable medical interpretation, several automated approaches have…
