Effect Of Levodopa On Eeg Connectivity In Parkinson's Patients, Sepehr Torab Parhiz
Effect Of Levodopa On Eeg Connectivity In Parkinson's Patients, Sepehr Torab Parhiz
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Levodopa is a dopamine replacement medication administered to patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) to alleviate their motor symptoms. However, its long-term use can cause adverse side effects, including involuntary motor movements. We studied 16 PD patients before and after taking Levodopa based on resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) recordings to determine how Levodopa affects the functional connectivity of their brain networks. We used several metrics from graph theory, in particular the minimum spanning tree (MST) metric, and analyzed how they change after subjects take Levodopa. We observed significant changes in the lower alpha band toward a more path-like and less globally efficient …

Evaluating Algorithms Used For Fetal Brain Scan Segmentation, Connor Stewart Burgess
Evaluating Algorithms Used For Fetal Brain Scan Segmentation, Connor Stewart Burgess
Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference
The goal for this project was to successfully segment a fetal brain scan (fetal scan) using the algorithms provided by the program Slicer3D. To better understand the hurdles that arose when segmenting a fetal scan, we first look at the segmentation of an adult brain scan. This will allow us to see the straightforward nature of a brain segmentation when a high quality, high resolution volume with distinct structures is available. After examining the adult brain scan, attention will be moved to the segmentation of the fetal scan, where we’ll first look at the algorithms used and methods followed. Finally …

Development Of A Wireless Telemetry Load And Displacement Sensor For Orthopaedic Applications, William Anderson
Development Of A Wireless Telemetry Load And Displacement Sensor For Orthopaedic Applications, William Anderson
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Due to sensor size and supporting circuitry, in vivo load and deformation measurements are currently restricted to applications within larger orthopaedic implants. The objective of this thesis is to repurpose a commercially available low-power, miniature, wireless, telemetric, tire-pressure sensor (FXTH87) to measure load and deformation for future use in biomechanical applications. The capacitive transducer membrane of the FXTH87 was modified, and a relationship was reported between applied compressive deformation and sensor signal value. The sensor package was embedded within a deformable enclosure to illustrate potential applications of the sensor for monitoring load. Finite element analysis was an effective tool to …

Snapshot Three-Dimensional Surface Imaging With Multispectral Fringe Projection Profilometry, Parsa Omidi
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Fringe Projection Profilometry (FPP) is a popular method for non-contact optical surface measurements, including motion tracking. The technique derives 3D surface maps from phase maps estimated from the distortions of fringe patterns projected onto the surface of an object. Estimation of phase maps is commonly performed with spatial phase retrieval algorithms that use a series of complex data processing stages. Researchers must have advanced data analysis skills to process FPP data due to a lack of availability of simple research-oriented software tools. Chapter 2 describes a comprehensive FPP software tool called PhaseWareTM that allows novice to experienced users to …
