• Unsupervised Multiple Kernel Learning to characterize Heart Failure patients considering myocardial mechanics and hemodynamics

  Martí Castellote, Pablo Miki (2018)

  Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction has proven to be a suitable syndrome to be studied with machine learning approaches, as its complexity is not fully captured in clinical guidelines. For this reason, in ...
• Predictive modelling of femur fracture from DXA scans using radiomics and machine learning

  Rodríguez Martín, Raquel (2018)

  Predictive modeling of bone fractures at the hip using DXA images is an important research field due to the capability of this imaging modality to capture osteoporosis related changes in the bone tissues. There exist ...
• Personalization of a biophysically realistic computational model of the brain activity using EEG and MRI data: The first step towards a new generation of virtual experiments on personalized human brain models

  Sanchez Todo, Roser (2018)

  In the present study we present a new modeling approach of a whole-brain network model based on a combination DTI-driven anatomical connectivity of the brain and Jansen and Rit neural mass model. We also propose an ...
• Information processing organization of a biological neural network

  Galella Toledo, Santiago (2018)

  Reservoir computing has been recently proposed as a paradigm of how the brain processes time-dependent complex information. It relies on a recurrent core of neurons, known as the reservoir, that receives and encodes complex ...
• Virtual reality tool to interact with 3D medical images

  Gómez Palacios, Sergio (2018)

  Virtual reality is a powerful tool which offers many possibilities and in the near future, specific virtual reality systems will be a fundamental part of healthcare. In this project a virtual reality tool was developed ...
• Brain structural andfunctional differences between Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients and healthy controls

  Moya Copa, Sergio (2018)

  Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is related to cognitive impairments and increased risk for dementia. Neuroimaging studies have demonstrated DM2-related brain structural and functional changes which are partly associated ...
• Technical feasibility market study of mobile arm supports for patients with muscle weakness in Spain

  Vilalta Costa, Aaron (2019)

  People with muscle weakness, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, can benefit from Mobile Arm Supports (MASs) that assist them to independently perform activities of daily living. Moreover, there is evidence that suggests ...
• EVE: A liquid handling robot based on LEGO Mindstorms

  Fosch Muntané, Ariadna (2019)

  High throughput screening (HTS) has lead to a revolution in research laboratories due to the possibility of performing millions of tests very quickly. The rise of HTS was accompanied by the appearance of the market of ...
• A comparative study of different nonlinear methods for localising seizure onset zone in epilepsy patients from intracranial electroencephalographic recordings.

  Galán Augé, Cristian (2019)

  Most of the epilepsy cases are controlled using medication. Unfortunately, medication sometimes does not provide a sufficient control of seizures. For these cases, epilepsy surgery can be an option which needs the detection ...
