  1. 1. The data-driven CyberSpine : Modeling the Epidural Electrical Stimulation using Finite Element Model and Artificial Neural Networks

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

    Author : Yu Qin; [2023]
    Keywords : Spinal Cord Injury; Epidural Electrical Stimulation; Computational Neuroscience; Finite Element Model; Artificial Intelligence; Optimal Transport; EMG; Muscle Activation; Ryggmärgsskada; Epidural Elektrisk Stimulering; Beräkningsneurovetenskap; Finita Elementmodellen; Artificiell Intelligens; Optimal Transport; EMG; Muskelaktivering;

    Abstract : Every year, 250,000 people worldwide suffer a spinal cord injury (SCI) that leaves them with chronic paraplegia - permanent loss of ability to move their legs. SCI interrupts axons passing along the spinal cord, thereby isolating motor neurons from brain inputs. To date, there are no effective treatments that can reconnect these interrupted axons.

  3. 2. 3D Estimation of Joints for Motion Analysis in Sports Medicine : A study examining the possibility for monocular 3D estimation to be used as motion analysis for applications within sports with the goal to prevent injury and improve sport specific motion

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

    Author : Axel Persson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : 3D joint estimation can be used to track bodies in areas such as entertainment, sports, biomedicine and surveillance to identify bodies from video streams and images. This is most commonly done with multi-view solutions but researchers are currently spending a large amount of resources into developing mono-view solutions. READ MORE

  4. 3. The inevitability of reductionism in the mind-Body problem : Finding convergence between functionalism and Type-Identity Physicalism

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för teoretisk filosofi

    Author : Valery Nkenguruke; [2023]
    Keywords : Physicalism; identity; reduction; functionalism; multiple realizability.;

    Abstract : Type identity theory is a theory within physicalism that maintains that types of mental states or processes are identical to types of states or processes in the brain. This would imply mental types can’t be encountered in physical structures other than the brain. READ MORE

  5. 4. Biologically informed neural network for subphenotype classification in septic AKI

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Erik Hartman; [2022]
    Keywords : Machine learning; neural networks; proteomics; sepsis; AKI; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Sepsis is a life threatening condition where the body’s reaction to an infection results in a dysregulated immune response - ultimately causing damage to tissues and organs. The syndrome is diverse, both in underlying biology, disease manifestation and severity, and is therefore divided into endotypes and further into subphenotypes. READ MORE

  6. 5. Hemocytes and neural injury in freshwater crayfish : Does the melanization reaction matter?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Amanda Gustafsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Melanization; neural injury; freshwater crayfish; Melanisering; nervskada; sötvattenskräfta;

    Abstract : Neurogenesis primarily occurs during embryonic development in decapod crustaceans, ending when the embryonic precursor cells die. However, areas in the central olfactory pathway are exceptions to this. Here, neurons are produced throughout the animal’s life from precursor cells in the neurogenic niche. READ MORE
