Conference Object Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 12Use of Topological Data Analysis in Motor Intention Based Brain-Computer Interfaces(European Signal Processing Conference, EUSIPCO, 2018-09) Altindis, Fatih; Yilmaz, Bulent; İçöz, Kutay; Borisenok, S.This study aims to investigate the use of topological data analysis in electroencephalography (EEG) based on brain-computer interface (BCI) applications. Our study focused on extracting topological features of EEG signals obtained from the motor cortex area of the brain. EEG signals from 8 subjects were used for forming data point clouds with a real-time simulation scenario and then each cloud was processed with JPlex toolbox in order to find out corresponding Betti numbers. These numbers represent the topological structure of the point data cloud related to the persistent homologies, which differ for different motor activity tasks. The estimated Betti numbers has been used as features in k-NN classifier to discriminate left or right hand motor intentions. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Noise-Assisted Multivariate Empirical Mode Decomposition Based Emotion Recognition(Istanbul Univ-Cerrahapasa, 2018-08-03) Ozel, Pinar; Akan, Aydin; Yilmaz, BulentEmotion state detection or emotion recognition cuts across different disciplines because of the many parameters that embrace the brain's complex neural structure, signal processing methods, and pattern recognition algorithms. Currently, in addition to classical time-frequency methods, emotional state data have been processed via data-driven methods such as empirical mode decomposition (EMD). Despite its various benefits, EMD has several drawbacks: it is intended for univariate data; it is prone to mode mixing; and the number of local extrema must be enough before the EMD process can begin. To overcome these problems, this study employs a multivariate EMD and its noise-assisted version in the emotional state classification of electroencephalogram signals.

Beside standard bench top instruments, several biochip-based methods have been developed for this purpose. Our biochip design incorporates micron size immunomagnetic beads together with micropad arrays, thus requires automated detection and quantification of not only cells but also the micropads and the immunomagnetic beads. The main purpose of the biochip is to capture target cells having different antigens simultaneously. In this proposed study, a digital image processing-based method to quantify the leukemia cells, immunomagnetic beads and micropads was developed as a readout method for the biochip. Color, size-based object detection and object segmentation methods were implemented to detect structures in the images acquired from the biochip by a bright field optical microscope. It has been shown that manual counting and flow cytometry results are in good agreement with the developed automated counting. Average precision is 85 % and average error rate is 13 % for all images of patient samples, average precision is 99 % and average error rate is 1% for cell culture images. With the optimized micropad size, proposed method can reach up to 95 % precision rate for patient samples with an execution time of 90 s per image.Article Citation - Scopus: 5Hyperplastic and Tubular Polyp Classification Using Machine Learning and Feature Selection(Elsevier B.V., 2024) Doǧan, Refika Sultan; Akay, Ebru; Doǧan, Serkan; Yilmaz, BulentPurpose: The aim of this study is to develop an effective approach for differentiating between hyperplastic and tubular adenoma colon polyps, which is one of the most difficult tasks in colonoscopy procedures. The main research challenge is how to improve the classification of these polyp subtypes applying various focusing levels on the polyp images, data preprocessing approaches, and classification algorithms. Methods: This study employed 202 colonoscopy videos from a total of 201 patients, focusing on 59 videos containing hyperplastic and tubular adenoma polyps. Manually extract key frames and several feature extraction and classification techniques were applied. The influence of different datasets with various focuses as well as data preprocessing steps on the performance of classification was examined, and AUC values were calculated using ten classifiers. Results: The study discovered that the optimal dataset, data preprocessing method, and classification algorithm all had significant effects on classification results. The Random Forest model with the Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) feature selection approach, for example, consistently outperformed other models and achieved the highest AUC value of 0.9067. In terms of accuracy, F1 score, recall, and AUC, the suggested model outperformed a gastroenterologist, nevertheless precision remained slightly lower. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the importance of dataset selection, data preprocessing, and feature selection in enhancing the classification of difficult colon polyp subtypes. The suggested model offers a promising model for the clinical differentiation of hyperplastic and tubular adenoma polyps, potentially improving diagnostic accuracy in gastroenterology. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - Scopus: 14Design and Multichannel Electromyography System-Based Neural Network Control of a Low-Cost Myoelectric Prosthesis Hand(Copernicus GmbH, 2021-02-04) Siddiq Ahmed, Saygin; Almusawi, Ahmed R.J.; Yilmaz, Bulent; Doǧru, NuranThis study introduces a new control method for electromyography (EMG) in a prosthetic hand application with a practical design of the whole system. The hand is controlled by a motor (which regulates a significant part of the hand movement) and a microcontroller board, which is responsible for receiving and analyzing signals acquired by a Myoware muscle device. The Myoware device accepts muscle signals and sends them to the controller. The controller interprets the received signals based on the designed artificial neural network. In this design, the muscle signals are read and saved in a MATLAB system file. After neural network program processing by MATLAB, they are then applied online to the prosthetic hand. The obtained signal, i.e., electromyogram, is programmed to control the motion of the prosthetic hand with similar behavior to a real human hand. The designed system is tested on seven individuals at Gaziantep University. Due to the sufficient signal of the Mayo armband compared to Myoware sensors, Mayo armband muscle is applied in the proposed system. The discussed results have been shown to be satisfactory in the final proposed system. This system was a feasible, useful, and cost-effective solution for the handless or amputated individuals. They have used the system in their day-to-day activities that allowed them to move freely, easily, and comfortably. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article 3D Sampling of K-Space With Non-Cartesian Trajectories in MR Imaging(Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2025-02-03) Dundar, Mehmet Sait; Gumus, Kazim Z.; Yilmaz, BulentThis study presents an innovative approach to 3D k-space sampling in MR imaging using non-Cartesian concentric shell trajectories. The method involves 32 concentric shells of varying radii, allowing for rapid data acquisition through undersampling techniques. Simulations using IDEA software demonstrate that this approach can fill the k-space in less than one second, a significant time reduction compared to traditional FLASH sequences that can take 3-4 minutes. The concentric shell model enhances imaging efficiency by minimizing artifacts and ensuring uniform k-space filling, leading to higher resolution and faster scans. This technique shows promise for clinical applications, particularly in dynamic imaging scenarios such as acute stroke and pediatric radiology, where speed and precision are critical. As illustrated in Figure A, the concentric shell trajectories enable uniform k-space filling, significantly reducing scan times and improving image quality. These results are based on the simulations conducted with IDEA software.
