Biophysiological Signals

Problems of neurodegenerative disorder patients can be solved by developing Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) based solutions. This requires datasets relevant to the languages spoken by patients. For example, Marathi, a prominent language spoken by over 83 million people in India, lacks BCI datasets based on the language for research purposes. To tackle this gap, we have created a dataset comprising Electroencephalograph (EEG) signal samples of selected common Marathi words.

Respiratory diseases are major global killers, demanding early diagnosis for effective management. Digital stethoscopes offer promise, but face limitations in storage and transmission. A compressive sensing-based compression algorithm is needed to address these constraints. Meanwhile, fast-reconstruction CS algorithms are sought to balance speed and fidelity. Sound event detection algorithms are crucial for identifying abnormal lung sounds and augmenting diagnostic accuracy. Integrating these technologies can revolutionize respiratory disease management, enhancing patient outcomes.

Finger Scanning Experiments: Participants conducted experiments while seated and wearing an eye mask to eliminate visual information. They were instructed to horizontally scan the surface back-and-forth eight times with one of their fingers to assess surface roughness. The finger's motion was optically captured at a frame rate of 60 fps. Scanning speed was determined by measuring finger positions at each frame and dividing them by the frame length. Image analysis was performed using OpenCV, where the finger outline was extracted from the video.

Globally, respiratory diseases are the leading cause of death, making it essential to develop an automatic respiratory sounds software to speed up diagnosis and reduce physician workload. A recent line of attempts have been proposed to predict accurately, but they have yet been able to provide a satisfactory generalization performance. In this contest, we invited the community to develop more accurate and generalized respiratory sound algorithms. A starter code is provided to standardize the submissions and lower the barrier.

It has proved that the auscultation of respiratory sound has advantage in early respiratory diagnosis. Various methods have been raised to perform automatic respiratory sound analysis to reduce subjective diagnosis and physicians’ workload. However, these methods highly rely on the quality of respiratory sound database. In this work, we have developed the first open-access paediatric respiratory sound database, SPRSound. The database consists of 2,683 records and 9,089 respiratory sound events from 292 participants.

AbstractObjective: Pulse oximetry is widely used to measure photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals and blood oxygen saturation but is susceptible to motion artifacts. This is a particular challenge for the growing field of wearable health devices. Independent component analysis (ICA) offers a solution for artifact removal without additional sensors. As there are different approaches for performing an ICA and because artifacts can take many forms, the optimal configuration is unknown.

To understand the role of myo-inositol oxygenase (miox) in the osmotic regulation of Nile tilapia, its expression was analyzed in various tissues. The results showed that the expression of miox gene was highest in the kidney, followed by the liver, and was significantly upregulated in the kidney and liver under 1 h hyperosmotic stress. The relative luminescence efficiency of the miox gene transcription starting site (-4617 bp to +312 bp) under hyperosmotic stress was measured.

The Ground Reaction Forces are generated when walking, specifically when the foot contacts the ground, this information is directly related to the physical characteristics of each person, on the other hand, the growth that has the implementation of artificial intelligence algorithms for the diagnosis or evaluation of both pathologies and rehabilitation that occur in the lower limb are a very large area of opportunity.

Electromyography is useful for those interested in the study of biological signals and their processing, identifying the characteristics of these signals is valuable for the design of prosthetic and robotic systems or in rehabilitation for patients with pathologies of the lower limb. In this case, in particular, the EMG signals of the biceps femoris generated during the gait cycle are intended to characterize the muscle activation signals during walking. For the development of this database, one hundred users were invited to participate.
