Freezing-of-gait a mysterious symptom of Parkinsons disease and defined as a sudden loss of ability to move forward. Common treatments of freezing episodes are currently of moderate efficacy and can likely be improved through a reliable freezing evaluation. Basic-science studies about the characterization of freezing episodes and a 24/7 evidence-support freezing detection system can contribute to the reliability of the evaluation in daily life. In this study, we analyzed multi-modal features from brain, eye, heart, motion, and gait activity from 15 participants with idiopathic Parkinsons disease and 551 freezing episodes induced by turning in place. Statistical analysis was first applied on 248 of the 551 to determine which multi-modal features were associated with freezing episodes. Features significantly associated with freezing episodes were ranked and used for the freezing detection. We found that eye-stabilization speed during turning and lower-body trembling measure significantly associated with freezing episodes and used for freezing detection. Using a leave-one-subject-out cross-validation, we obtained a sensitivity of 97%+/-3%, a specificity of 96%+/-7%, a precision of 73%+/-21%, a Matthews correlation coefficient of 0.82+/-0.15, and an area under the Precision-Recall curve of 0.94+/-0.05. According to the Precision-Recall curves, the proposed freezing detection method using the multi-modal features performed better than using single-modal features.
Physiological signals, such as the electrocardiogram and the phonocardiogram are very often corrupted by noisy sources. Usually, artificial intelligent algorithms analyze the signal regardless of its quality. On the other hand, physicians use a compl
The fast-growing techniques of measuring and fusing multi-modal biomedical signals enable advanced motor intent decoding schemes of lowerlimb exoskeletons, meeting the increasing demand for rehabilitative or assistive applications of take-home health
Underneath the ear skin there are richly branching vascular and neural networks that ultimately connecting to our heart and brain. Hence, the three-dimensional (3D) mapping of auricular electrophysiological signals could provide a new perspective for
Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems have potential as assistive technologies for individuals with severe motor impairments. Nevertheless, individuals must first participate in many training sessions to obtain adequate data for optimizing the class
Flow-like experiences at work are important for productivity and worker well-being. However, it is difficult to objectively detect when workers are experiencing flow in their work. In this paper, we investigate how to predict a workers focus state ba
