Using RealTime fMRI Based Neurofeedback to Probe Default Network RegulationCameron Craddock
Seminar given at the University of Illinois at Chicago Behavioral Neuroscience Seminar Series. The Default Network (DN) is a set of brain regions that are deactivated during the performance of externally triggered goal-drive tasks and active during spontaneous cognition. Activation of the DN during times when it should be off, has been hypothesized to be a symptom of several mental health disorders such as ADHD, depression, and anxiety. We describe the use of real-time fMRI to probe DN function in patient populations and children.

The volume of Big data is increasing in gigabytes day by day which are hard to make sense and difficult to analyze. The challenges of big data are capturing, storing, searching, sharing, analysis and visualization of these datasets. Big data leads to clutter in their visualization. Clutter is a crowded or disordered collection of graphical entities in information visualization. It can blur the structure of data. In this paper, we present the concept of clutter based dimension reduction. Our purpose is to reduce clutter without reducing information content or disturb data in any way. Dimension reduction is a technique that can significantly reduce the dimensions of the datasets. Dimensionality reduction is useful in visualizing data, discovering a compact representation, decreasing computational processing time and addressing the curse of dimensionality of high-dimensional spaces.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease which is largely responsible for dementia in around 6% of the population aged 65 and above. The availability of human brain data generated by imaging techniques, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging, have resulted in a growing interest in data-driven approaches for the diagnosis of neurological disorders and for the identification of new biomarkers. The knowledge discovery process typically involves complex data workflows that combine pre-processing techniques, statistical methods, machine learning algorithms, post-processing and visualisation techniques. This talk presents specific research efforts in this direction, promising results, open issues and challenges.
Automated Analysis of Microscopy Images using Deep Convolutional Neural NetworkAdetayoOkunoye
The general cell quantification and identification have technical limitations concerning the fast and accurate detection of complex morphological cells, especially for overlapping cells, irregular cell shapes, bad focal planes, among other factors. We use the deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) to classify the annotated images of five types of white blood cells. The accuracy and performance of the proposed framework are evaluated for the blood cell classifications. The results demonstrate that the DCNN model performs close to the accuracy of 80% and provides an accurate and fast method for hematological laboratories.

Medical Image segmentation from dl .pptxSACHINS902817
Medical image segmentation is a critical task in the field of medical imaging analysis, with far-reaching implications for diagnosis, treatment planning, and disease monitoring. In this comprehensive discussion, we will explore the principles, techniques, challenges, applications, and future directions of medical image segmentation.
Introduction to Medical Image Segmentation
Medical image segmentation refers to the process of partitioning images acquired from various medical imaging modalities into meaningful regions or segments. These segments correspond to specific anatomical structures, pathological lesions, or other regions of interest within the human body. The primary goal of segmentation is to accurately delineate and extract relevant information from medical images, enabling clinicians to interpret and analyze the data effectively.
Importance of Medical Image Segmentation
The significance of medical image segmentation cannot be overstated, as it plays a crucial role in numerous clinical applications:
Diagnosis: Segmentation aids in the identification and characterization of abnormalities, such as tumors, lesions, and other pathological structures.
Treatment Planning: Precise segmentation facilitates treatment planning by providing clinicians with detailed information about the spatial extent and location of anatomical structures and pathological regions.
Image-Guided Interventions: Segmentation enables image-guided interventions, including surgical navigation, radiation therapy, and minimally invasive procedures.
Disease Monitoring: Changes in segmented regions over time can be used to monitor disease progression, treatment response, and patient outcomes.
Techniques for Medical Image Segmentation
A variety of techniques have been developed for medical image segmentation, ranging from traditional methods to advanced machine learning and deep learning approaches:
Thresholding: Simple thresholding techniques segment images based on intensity values, dividing them into foreground and background regions.
Region-Based Methods: Region growing, region merging, and watershed algorithms identify regions of uniform intensity or texture.
Edge-Based Methods: Edge detection algorithms identify boundaries between different regions based on intensity gradients.
Clustering Algorithms: K-means clustering and fuzzy c-means clustering group pixels with similar characteristics into clusters.
Machine Learning Approaches: Supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms, such as support vector machines (SVMs) and k-nearest neighbors (KNN), learn segmentation patterns from labeled training data.
Deep Learning Models: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), particularly architectures like U-Net, FCN (Fully Convolutional Network), and SegNet, have revolutionized medical image segmentation by automatically learning hierarchical features from raw image data.
Challenges in Medical Image Segmentation
Despite significant advancements, medical image segmentatio

Simplified Knowledge Prediction: Application of Machine Learning in Real LifePeea Bal Chakraborty
Machine learning is the scientific study of algorithms and statistical models that is used by the machines to perform a specific task depending on patterns and inference rather than explicit instructions. This research and analysis aims to observe how precisely a machine can predict that a patient suspected of breast cancer is having malignant or benign cancer.In this paper the classification of cancer type and prediction of risk levels is done by various model of machine learning and is pictorially depicted by various tools of visual analytics.
Deep learning, enabled by powerful compute, and fuelled by massive data, has delivered unprecedented data analytics capabilities. However, major limitations remain. Chiefly among those is that deep neural networks tend to exploit the surface statistics in the data, creating short-cuts from the input to the output, without really deeply understanding of the data. As a result, these networks fail miserably to generalize to novel combinations. This is because the networks perform shallow pattern matching but not deliberate reasoning – the capacity to deliberately deduce new knowledge out of the contextualized data. Second, machine learning is often trained to do just one task at a time, making it impossible to re-define tasks on the fly as needed in a complex operating environment. This talk presents our recent developments to extend the capacity of neural networks to remove these limitations. Our main focus is on learning to reason from data, that is, learning to determine if the data entails a conclusion. This capacity opens up new ways to generate insights from data through arbitrary querying using natural languages without the need of predefining a narrow set of tasks.

Open science resources for `Big Data' Analyses of the human connectomeCameron Craddock
Neuroimaging has become a `Big Data' pursuit that requires very large datasets and high throughput computational tools. In this talk I will highlight many open science resources for acquiring the necessary data. This is from a lecture that I gave in 2015 at the USC Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.
