Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Invariant Translation to Denoise Electroencephalogram SignalsJanett Walters-Williams, Yan LiProblem statement: Because of the distance between the skull and the brain and their different resistivity's, Electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings on a machine is usually mixed with the activities generated within the area called noise. EEG signals have been used to diagnose major brain diseases such as Epilepsy, narcolepsy and dementia. The presence of these noises however can result in misdiagnosis, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 5 Oct 2011 · 7,515 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Approach to Medical Image SegmentationNandagopalan Shanmugam, Adiga B. Suryanarayana, Sudarshan TSB et al.Problem statement: Segmentation is a vital aspect of medical imaging. It aids in the visualization of medical data and diagnostics of various diseases.
