Many tasks in robot-assisted surgery require planning and controlling manipulators' motions that interact with highly deformable objects. This study proposes a realistic, time-bounded simulator based on Position-based Dynamics (PBD)…
On image data, data augmentation is becoming less relevant due to the large amount of available training data and regularization techniques. Common approaches are moving windows (cropping), scaling, affine distortions, random noise, and…
Accurate compensation of brain shift is critical for maintaining the reliability of neuronavigation during neurosurgery. While keypoint-based registration methods offer robustness to large deformations and topological changes, they…
This research proposes a new a numerical method to compute brain injury associated with concussion using the Peak Virtual Power method, using the THUMS 4.02 head model. The results indicate that mild and severe concussions could be…
MRI, a widespread non-invasive medical imaging modality, is highly sensitive to patient motion. Despite many attempts over the years, motion correction remains a difficult problem and there is no general method applicable to all situations.…
Wearable head sensor systems use different kinematic signal processing approaches which limits field-based inter-study comparisons, especially when artefacts are present in the signal. The aim of this study is to assess the frequency…
Most EEG-based Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) require a considerable amount of training data to calibrate the classification model, owing to the high variability in the EEG data, which manifests itself between participants, but also…
Modeling and manufacturing of personalized cranial implants are important research areas that may decrease the waiting time for patients suffering from cranial damage. The modeling of personalized implants may be partially automated by the…
Accurate simulation of brain deformation is a key component for developing realistic, interactive neurosurgical simulators, as complex nonlinear deformations must be captured to ensure realistic tool-tissue interactions. However,…
Despite the common usage of a canonical, data-independent, hemodynamic response function (HRF), it is known that the shape of the HRF varies across brain regions and subjects. This suggests that a data-driven estimation of this function…
Keystroke inference attacks are a form of side-channel attacks in which an attacker leverages various techniques to recover a user's keystrokes as she inputs information into some display (e.g., while sending a text message or entering her…
Computational biomechanics of the brain for neurosurgery is an emerging area of research recently gaining in importance and practical applications. This review paper presents the contributions of the Intelligent Systems for Medicine…
Brain injuries are a major reason for mortality and morbidity following trauma in sports, work and traffic. Apart from the trauma at the site of impact (coup injury), other regions of the brain remote from the impact locations (non-coup)…
Brain encoding and decoding aims to understand the relationship between external stimuli and brain activities, and is a fundamental problem in neuroscience. In this article, we study latent embedding alignment for brain encoding and…
Head pose estimation and tracking is useful in variety of medical applications. With the advent of RGBD cameras like Kinect, it has become feasible to do markerless tracking by estimating the head pose directly from the point clouds. One…
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) often results from violent head motion or impact. Most prevention strategies explicitly or implicitly rely on motion- or deformation-based injury criteria, both of which require accurate measurements of…
Imaging modalities provide clinicians with real-time visualization of anatomical regions of interest (ROI) for the purpose of minimally invasive surgery. During the procedure, low-resolution image data are acquired and registered with…
Brain strain and strain rate are effective in predicting traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by head impacts. However, state-of-the-art finite element modeling (FEM) demands considerable computational time in the computation, limiting its…
Inertial sensors are widely used in a variety of applications. A common task is orientation estimation. To tackle such a task, attitude and heading reference system algorithms are applied. Relying on the gyroscope readings, the…
Accurate post-impact velocity predictions are essential in developing impact-aware manipulation strategies for robots, where contacts are intentionally established at non-zero speed mimicking human manipulation abilities in dynamic grasping…
