  1. 1. Developing a portable, customizable, single-channel EEG device for homecare and validating it against a commercial EEG device

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

    Author : Máté Károly Tóth; [2023]
    Keywords : Electroencephalography EEG ; Portable EEG; Single-channel EEG; Commercial EEG; Brain-machine interface; Prototype development; Elektroencefalografi EEG ; Bärbar EEG; Enkanaligt EEG; Kommersiellt EEG; Hjärna-maskin-gränssnitt; Prototyputveckling;

    Abstract : There are several commercial electroencephalography (EEG) devices on the market; however, affordable devices are not versatile for diverse research applications. The purpose of this project was to investigate how to develop a low-cost, portable, single-channel EEG system for a research institute that could be used for neurofeedback-related applications in homecare.

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

    Author : Eddie Nevander Hellström; Johan Slettengren; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Brain-inspired computing is a promising research field, with potential to encouragebreakthroughs within machine learning and enable us to solve complex problems in a moreefficient way. This study aims to compare the performance of brain-like machine learningalgorithms for time series forecasting. READ MORE

  4. 3. Frontal Alpha Asymmetry and Behavioral Inhibition and Activation Systems

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Victoria Saldjoughi Tivander; [2023]
    Keywords : frontal alpha asymmetry; EEG; resting-state; BIS BAS; test-retest reliability;

    Abstract : Extensive research has been conducted on the relationship between brain activity and personality traits, and several theories propose a lateralization of specific personality qualities. A prominent model suggests frontal lateralization of motivational direction, specifically, the behavioral inhibition and activation systems (BIS/BAS), with greater right frontal activity linked to behavioral inhibition and greater left frontal activity linked to behavioral activation.

  5. 4. Multiclass Brain Tumour Tissue Classification on Histopathology Images Using Vision Transformers

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Statistik och maskininlärning

    Author : Christoforos Spyretos; [2023]
    Keywords : medical imaging; deep learning; classification; CNN; Vision Transformer; glioblastoma; GBM; IvyGAP; brain tumour; histopathology; digital pathology; histology;

    Abstract : Histopathology refers to inspecting and analysing tissue samples under a microscope to identify and examine signs of diseases. The manual investigation procedure of histology slides by pathologists is time-consuming and susceptible to misconceptions. READ MORE

  6. 5. Segmentation of Neuronal Cells Using Simplistic Methods : A Comparison of the Mean Shift Algorithm and Otsu’s Method

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

    Author : Alex Gunnarsson; Filip Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Information regarding specific neuronal characteristics, such as shape and distribution, is essential for quantifying the brain structure and modelling accurate computer simulations. To this end, it is important to perform cell segmentation; to isolate the cells in a given image from the surrounding tissue, so it can be further analysed. READ MORE
