Modern bio-ontologies aim for interoperability through alignment to a common upper level ontology and the use of common relationships. A precondition for such alignment is that all of the entities that are needed for annotation of the data for the domain in question are able to be represented beneath the same upper level ontology. Waves, such as electrocardiography, brain waves and sound waves,...

Brain-stem auditory potential (BAEP) latencies were measured from individuals with normal or nearly normal hearing. Different age groups were studied separately. Males have 0.1-0.2 msec longer latencies of waves III and V and longer I-V IPLs than females in all age groups. The latencies of waves I, III and V increase 0.1-0.2 msec with increasing age, but the I-V IPL was the same in all age grou...

It is known that the biological activity of the brain involves radiation of electric waves. These waves result from ionic currents and charges traveling among the brain’s neurons. But it is obvious that these ions and charges are carried by their relevant masses which should give rise, according to the gravitational theory, to extremely weak gravitational waves. We use in the following the stoc...

BACKGROUND Epileptic encephalopathy with continuous spike-and-waves during sleep (CSWS) occurs during childhood and is characterized by an activation of spike wave complexes during slow wave sleep. The location of epileptic foci is variable, as is etiology. A relationship between the epileptic focus and age has been shown in various focal epilepsies following a posterior-anterior trajectory, an...

Understanding how brain functions has been an intriguing topic for years. With the recent progress on collecting massive data and developing advanced technology, people have become interested in addressing the challenge of decoding brain wave data into meaningful mind states, with many machine learning models and algorithms being revisited and developed, especially the ones that handle time ser...

The internal deformation of the brain is far more complex than the rigid motion of the skull. An ultrasound imaging technique that we have developed has a combination of penetration, frame-rate, and motion detection accuracy required to directly observe, for the first time, the formation and evolution of shear shock waves in the brain. Experiments at low impacts on the traumatic brain injury sc...

In this thesis, the use of electrodes to capture the human brain electroencephalogram (EEG) signals through a BCI (Brain Computer Interface BCI) was proposed. In our BCI system, hardware and software were combined to extract brainwave information to control the medical assistant systems by means of bluetooth interface. Several medical assistant systems such as EEG-based toy car with the attenti...
