Out of Band Pairing Methodsfor MBANs

Epilepsy is a medical condition which is caused by excessive or synchronous neuronal activity of the brain cells. These activities can lead to attacks where the patient can lose conciseness or experiences random muscle cramps at seemingly any point in time. Using implantable on body sensors these seizure attacks could be detected and even...

Absence seizure prediction using recurrent neural networks

Absence seizures have a real-life impact on epileptic subjects, as day-to-day tasks can by suddenly interrupted making for dangerous situations. Though a lot of work has been done on seizure detection, to limit the impact on epileptic patients, the true necessity lies in timely prediction of seizures before they manifest. Various attempts have...

FlexHH: A flexible hardware library for Hodgkin-Huxley-based neural simulations

In the field of computational neuroscience, complex mathematical models are used to replicate brain behavior with the goal of understanding the biological processes involved. The simulation of such models are computationally expensive and therefore, in recent years, high-performance computing systems have been identified as a possible solution...

Full-Whisker Tracking System: A new algorithm for accurate whisker tracking in untrimmed head-fixed mice.

The movement of whiskers in head-fixed mice is of high interest for neurological research, as it allows scientists to learn more about learning processes during active touch. However, manual tracking of whiskers in thousands of frames is not feasible, and reliable tracking of individual whiskers is not possible with the best current software...

Real-time Face and Landmark Localization for Eyeblink-Response Detection: A heterogenous CPU-GPU approach

Pavlovian eyeblink conditioning is a powerful experiment used in the field of neuroscience to measure multiple aspects of how we learn in our daily life. To track the movement of the eyelid during an experiment, researchers traditionally made use of potentiometers or electromyography (EMG). More recently, the use of computer vision and image...
