  1. 6. Non-motor symptoms and their use as markers for prodromal and early Parkinson's disease

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för organismbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Aubree Stephens; [2021]
    Keywords : Neurology; Parkinson s; non-motor symptom; prodromal;

    Abstract : Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. It is a disease with a broad spectrum of symptoms, both motor and non-motor, but is often only diagnosed when the motor symptoms begin to appear. READ MORE

  3. 7. Normalization of Deep and Shallow CNNs tasked with Medical 3D PET-scans : Analysis of technique applicability

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för informationsteknologi

    Author : Edlir Pllashniku; Zolal Stanikzai; [2021]
    Keywords : Machine learning; Deep learning; Neurology; Normalization; CNN; Deep neural network; Neurodegenerative disorders; Neurodegenerative disorders identification; Maskininlärning; Djup inlärning; Neurologi; Normalisering; CNN; Djupt neurala nätverk; Neurodegenerativa sjukdomar; Identifiering av neurodegenerativa sjukdomar;

    Abstract : There has in recent years been interdisciplinary research on utilizing machine learning for detecting and classifying neurodegenerative disorders with the sole goal of outperforming state-of-the-art models in terms of metrics such as accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity. Specifically, these studies have been conducted using existing networks on ”novel” methods of pre-processing data or by developing new convolutional neural networks. READ MORE

  4. 8. Lumina – An Exploration of How Interactive Lights Can Support Mindfulness

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för kultur och samhälle (KS)

    Author : Leyla Allendes; [2020]
    Keywords : Brain-computer interface; research through design; mindfulness; calm technology; ambient display.;

    Abstract : This thesis project presents a research through design process that has aimed to explore how we can design interactive technologies that can support mindfulness practices in beginners. This has been done by designing a meditative lamp, Lumina, which can be controlled by the user’s neural oscillations. READ MORE

  5. 9. Motor unit localization using high-density surface EMG

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Jonathan Hermansson Lundsberg; [2019]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Localization of muscle motor units (MU) using surface electromyography (sEMG) is of interest in areas including neurology, rehabilitation and prosthetic control. The aim of the thesis is to describe a method for MU localization using high-density sEMG (HDsEMG) and verify the method using simultaneous intramuscular EMG (iEMG) recordings. READ MORE

  6. 10. Does weather affect mental well-being neurologically?

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Victoria Saldjoughi Tivander; [2018]
    Keywords : well-being; mental health; neuroscience; weather; sunlight; meteorological impact; solar influence; neural correlates;

    Abstract : Research on well-being is in its infancy and the term lacks a clear definition, yet it is an increasingly popular matter. The neurology underlying well-being is important in such research in order to understand what brain mechanisms are correlated with mental health. READ MORE
