Introducing Region Based Pooling for handling a varied number of EEG channels for deep learning models

IntroductionA challenge when applying an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning (DL) approach to novel electroencephalography (EEG) data, is the DL architecture’s lack of adaptability to changing numbers of EEG channels. That is, the number of channels cannot vary neither in the training data, nor upon deployment. Such highly specific hardware constraints put major limitations on […]

Treatment with glatiramer acetate in APPswe/PS1dE9 mice at an early stage of Alzheimer’s disease prior to amyloid-beta deposition delays the disease’s pathological development and ameliorates cognitive decline

BackgroundAlzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by neuroinflammation, which is frequently accompanied by immune system dysfunction. Although the mechanism of neurodegenerative lesions is unclear, various clinical trials have highlighted that early intervention in AD is crucial to the success of treatment. In order to explore the potential of immunotherapy in the early period of AD, the […]
