We report on a Deep Neural Network frontend for a continuous speech recognizer based on Surface Electromyography (EMG). Speech data is obtained by facial electrodes capturing the electric activity generated by the articulatory muscles, thus allowing speech processing without making use of the acoustic signal. The electromyographic signal is preprocessed and fed into the neural network, which is...

BACKGROUND The Bipolar Disorder Patients Follow-up (BDPF) project is a longitudinal, prospective and naturalistic study. The purpose of the present report is to introduce the project, elaborate its methods, and present the reliability data of the utilized symptoms rating scales. METHODS The sampling started in May 2008 and is still in progress. The probands are assessed at the beginning of th...

bipolar i disorder (bid) and its treatments have shown to be associated with deep impacts on patients' subjective feelings and quality of life (qol). there are also some comments about impact of these feelings on course and outcome of patients with bid. this study was aimed to evaluate quality of life in patients with bid and to assess its relationship with course of disorder. fifty patients wi...

OBJECTIVE Bipolar disorder is strongly associated with suicidal ideations, attempts and commissions. Although several studies have been conducted on suicide risk factors in patients with bipolar disorder worldwide, a comprehensive study has not been reported from Iran. METHODS Patients with bipolar disorder type I, hospitalized in Iran Hospital of Psychiatry since May 2008 to August 2011 were...

Dataflow programming models are well-suited to program many-core streaming applications. However, many streaming applications have a dynamic behavior. To capture this behavior, parametric dataflow models have been introduced over the years. Still, such models do not allow the topology of the dataflow graph to change at runtime, a feature that is also required to program modern streaming applica...
