A Web services-based exergaming platform for senior citizens: the Long Lasting Memories project approach to e-health care.
(2011)
This piece of research describes an innovative e-health service that supports the cognitive and physical training of senior citizens and promotes their active ageing. The approach is adopted by the Long Lasting Memories ...
Self-control with spiking and non-spiking neural networks playing games
(2010)
Self-control can be defined as choosing a large delayed reward over a small immediate reward, while precommitment is the making of a choice with the specific aim of denying oneself future choices. Humans recognise that ...
Coefficient of variation vs. mean interspike interval curves: What do they tell use about the brain?
(2001)
A number of models have been produced recently to explain the high variability of natural spike trains (Softky and Koch, J. Neurosci. 13 (1) (1993) 334). These models use a range of different biological mechanisms including ...
A spiking neuron model: Applications and learning
(2002)
This paper presents a biologically inspired, hardware-realisable spiking neuron model, which we call the Temporal Noisy-Leaky Integrator (TNLI). The dynamic applications of the model as well as its applications in Computational ...
On the firing variability of the integrate-and-fire neurons with partial reset in the presence of inhibition
(2002)
It has been reported (Phys. Rev. Lett. 82 (1999) 4731) that the firing variability of integrate-and-fire (I&F) neurons is strongly dependent on the level of inhibitory input unlike the Hodgkin-Huxley and FitzHugh-Nagumo ...
Spiking neural networks with different reinforcement learning (RL) schemes in a multiagent setting
(2010)
This paper investigates the effectiveness of spiking agents when trained with reinforcement learning (RL) in a challenging multiagent task. In particular, it explores learning through rewardmodulated spike-timing dependent ...
High efficiency video coding for ultrasound video communication in m-health systems.
(2012)
Emerging high efficiency video compression methods and wider availability of wireless network infrastructure will significantly advance existing m-health applications. For medical video communications, the emerging video ...
High-resolution, low-delay, and error-resilient medical ultrasound video communication using H.264/AVC over mobile WiMAX networks
(2013)
In this study, we describe an effective video communication framework for the wireless transmission of H.264/AVC medical ultrasound video over mobile WiMAX networks. Medical ultrasound video is encoded using diagnostically ...
Atherosclerotic plaque ultrasound video encoding, wireless transmission, and quality assessment using H.264
(2011)
We propose a unifying framework for efficient encoding, transmission, and quality assessment of atherosclerotic plaque ultrasound video. The approach is based on a spatially varying encoding scheme, where video-slice ...
Robust and efficient ultrasound video coding in noisy channels using H.264.
(2009)
In this paper we define diagnostic Regions of Interest (ROIs) for carotid ultrasound medical video, which we then use as input for Flexible Macroblock Ordering (FMO) slice encoding. We extend the FMO concept by enabling ...
