Article Citation - WoS: 57Citation - Scopus: 76Like/Dislike Analysis Using EEG: Determination of Most Discriminative Channels and Frequencies(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2014-02) Yilmaz, Bulent; Korkmaz, Sumeyye; Arslan, Dilek Betul; Gungor, Evrim; Asyali, Musa H.In this study, we have analyzed electroencephalography (EEG) signals to investigate the following issues, (i) which frequencies and EEG channels could be relatively better indicators of preference (like or dislike decisions) of consumer products, (ii) timing characteristic of "like" decisions during such mental processes. For this purpose, we have obtained multi-channel EEG recordings from 15 subjects, during total of 16 epochs of 10 s long, while they were presented with some shoe photographs. When they liked a specific shoe, they pressed on a button and marked the time of this activity and the particular epoch was labeled as a LIKE case. No button press meant that the subject did not like the particular shoe that was displayed and corresponding epoch designated as a DISLIKE case. After preprocessing, power spectral density (PSD) of EEG data was estimated at different frequencies (4, 5, ... , 40 Hz) using the Burg method, for each epoch corresponding to one shoe presentation. Each subject's data consisted of normalized PSD values (NPVs) from all LIKE and DISLIKE cases/epochs coming from all 19 EEG channels. In order to determine the most discriminative frequencies and channels, we have utilized logistic regression, where LIKE/DISLIKE status was used as a categorical (binary) response variable and corresponding NPVs were the continuously valued input variables or predictors. We observed that when all the NPVs (total of 37) are used as predictors, the regression problem was becoming ill-posed due to large number of predictors (compared to the number of samples) and high correlation among predictors. To circumvent this issue, we have divided the frequency band into low frequency (LF) 4-19 Hz and high frequency (HF) 20-40 Hz bands and analyzed the influence of the NPV in these bands separately. Then, using the p-values that indicate how significantly estimated predictor weights are different than zero, we have determined the NPVs and channels that are more influential in determining the outcome, i. e., like/dislike decision. In the LF band, 4 and 5 Hz were found to be the most discriminative frequencies (MDFs). In the HF band, none of the frequencies seemed offer significant information. When both male and female data was used, in the LF band, a frontal channel on the left (F7-A1) and a temporal channel on the right (T6-A2) were found to be the most discriminative channels (MDCs). In the HF band, MDCs were central (Cz-A1) and occipital on the left (O1-A1) channels. The results of like timings suggest that male and female behavior for this set of stimulant images were similar.

The key challenge in the detection of adenomatous polyps is differentiating it from its visually similar counterpart, non-adenomatous tissues. Currently, it solely depends on the experience of the pathologist. To assist the pathologists, the objective of this work is to provide a novel non-knowledge-based Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) for improved detection of adenomatous polyps on colon histopathology images. Methods: The domain shift problem arises when the train and test data are coming from different distributions of diverse settings and unequal color levels. This problem, which can be tackled by stain normalization techniques, restricts the machine learning models to attain higher classification accuracies. In this work, the proposed method integrates stain normalization techniques with ensemble of competitively accurate, scalable and robust variants of CNNs, ConvNexts. The improvement is empirically analyzed for five widely employed stain normalization techniques. The classification performance of the proposed method is evaluated on three datasets comprising more than 10k colon histopathology images. Results: The comprehensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the stateof-the-art deep convolutional neural network based models by attaining 95% classification accuracy on the curated dataset, and 91.1% and 90% on EBHI and UniToPatho public datasets, respectively. Conclusions: These results show that the proposed method can accurately classify colon adenomatous polyps on histopathology images. It retains remarkable performance scores even for different datasets coming from different distributions. This indicates that the model has a notable generalization ability. (c) 2023 Elsevier B.V.

Nowadays high-energy shock waves are also used in orthopedic operations and investigated to be used in the treatment of myocardial infarction and cancer. Because of these new application areas novel lithotriptor designs are needed for different kinds of treatment strategies. In this study our aim was to develop a versatile computer simulation environment which would give the device designers working on various medical applications that use shock wave principle a substantial amount of flexibility while testing the effects of new parameters such as reflector size, material properties of the medium, water temperature, and different clinical scenarios. For this purpose, we created a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD)-based computational model in which most of the physical system parameters were defined as an input and/or as a variable in the simulations. We constructed a realistic computational model of a commercial electrohydraulic lithotriptor and optimized our simulation program using the results that were obtained by the manufacturer in an experimental setup. We, then, compared the simulation results with the results from an experimental setup in which oxygen level in water was varied. Finally, we studied the effects of changing the input parameters like ellipsoid size and material, temperature change in the wave propagation media, and shock wave source point misalignment. The simulation results were consistent with the experimental results and expected effects of variation in physical parameters of the system. The results of this study encourage further investigation and provide adequate evidence that the numerical modeling of a shock wave therapy system is feasible and can provide a practical means to test novel ideas in new device design procedures. © 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. © 2014 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.; MEDLINE® is the source for the MeSH terms of this document.
