    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Michelle Karlsson Bok; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects not only children as it was initially assumed but continues into adulthood in 50% of the cases. ADHD is a major cause of cognitive disability in children, increases risks for criminal behavior, unemployment and is generally associated with low quality of life. READ MORE

  3. 17. Analysis of Eye Tracking Data from Parkinson’s Patients using Machine Learning

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Lucas Höglund; [2021]
    Keywords : Autoencoder; Clustering; Eye tracking; Feature extraction; Feature selection; Machine learning; Parkinson’s disease.; Autokodare; Klustring; Blickspårning; Särdragsextraktion; Särdragsidentifikation; Maskininlärning; Parkinsons sjukdom.;

    Abstract : Parkinson’s disease is a brain disorder associated with reduced dopamine levels in the brain, affecting cognition and motor control in the human brain. One of the motor controls that can be affected is eye movements and can therefore be critically affected in patients with Parkinson’s disease. READ MORE

  5. 19. Correlation Transfer in Striatal Network via Morphology Changes

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Lihao Guo; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The activity of striatum is significantly modulated by dopamine, and long- term effects if an altered dopamine signalling can also lead to degeneration and regeneration of synapses. This thesis report investigates the signal transfer, especially correlation transfer, in the striatum. READ MORE

  6. 20. Attractor Neural Network modelling of the Lifespan Retrieval Curve

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Patrícia Pereira; [2020]
    Keywords : reminiscence bump; attractor neural network; Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Network BCPNN ; recency; synaptic plasticity; episodic memory; ”reminiscence bump”; attraktorneuronnät; Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Network BCPNN ; nysseffekt; synaptisk plasticitet; episodiskt mine.;

    Abstract : Human capability to recall episodic memories depends on how much time has passed since the memory was encoded. This dependency is described by a memory retrieval curve that reflects an interesting phenomenon referred to as a reminiscence bump - a tendency for older people to recall more memories formed during their young adulthood than in other periods of life.
