DeepSleepNet: An Automatic Sleep Stage Scoring Model Based on Single-Channel EEG Background Introduction Sleep has a significant impact on human health, and monitoring sleep quality is crucial in medical research and practice. Typically, sleep experts score sleep stages by analyzing various physiological signals such as electroencephalogram (EEG), ...
In recent years, Virtual Reality (VR) technology has become increasingly common, with related hardware becoming more affordable. For example, current head-mounted displays (HMDs) on the market not only offer high-resolution displays but also feature precise head and handheld controller tracking. Initially, these technologies were mostly used in the...
Sleep stage classification is crucial for sleep quality assessment and disease diagnosis. However, existing classification methods still face numerous challenges in handling the spatial and temporal features of time-varying multi-channel brain signals, coping with individual differences in biological signals, and model interpretability. Traditional...
Background Introduction Motor Imagery (MI) refers to performing activities through imagination without actual muscle movement. This paradigm is widely used in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) to decode brain activities into control commands for external devices. Specifically, Electroencephalography (EEG) is widely used in BCI due to its relative affo...
Musculoskeletal models have been widely used in biomechanical analysis because they can estimate motion variables that are difficult to measure directly in living organisms, such as muscle forces and joint moments. Traditional physics-driven computational musculoskeletal models can explain the dynamic interactions between neural inputs to muscles, ...
Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a communication method that connects the nervous system to the external environment. Motor Imagery (MI) is the cornerstone of BCI research, referring to the internal rehearsal before physical execution. Non-invasive techniques such as Electroencephalography (EEG) can record neural activities with high temporal reso...
The IEEE “Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering” published a paper titled “Sleep Stage Classification Using Attention-Based Deep Learning for Single-Channel EEG” in Volume 29, 2021. The author of the article include Emadeldeen Edele, Zhenghua Chen, Chengyu Liu, Min Wu, Chee-Keong Kwoh, Xiaoli Li, and Cuntai Guan. The main go...
Feasibility, Safety, and Performance of Full-Scalp Subdural EEG - A Report on Minimally Invasive Electrode Implantation Background and Purpose Since Berger first recorded human scalp electrical signals and discovered the alpha rhythm in 1929, the recording capabilities of electroencephalography (EEG) have significantly improved in terms of spatial ...
In recent years, refractory epilepsy has received increasing attention from the medical community. Refractory epilepsy is defined as the continuing occurrence of severe seizures despite treatment with two appropriate antiepileptic drugs. For patients who are unresponsive to drug treatment, if the seizure onset zone (SOZ) can be accurately localized...
Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing as an Alternative to Procalcitonin in Guiding Antibiotic Use in Patients with Acute Necrotizing Pancreatitis and Fever Background and Research Objectives Acute pancreatitis (AP) is one of the leading causes of emergency hospital admissions for digestive system diseases, with significant medical resource utiliz...
