Kinesthetic illusion induced by visual stimulation (KINVIS) is a phenomenon in which a virtual kinesthetic perception is induced by watching virtual limb movements mimicking actual...

Purpose: In this study, we attempted to construct an improved anomaly detection system. In our previous study, we developed an anomaly detection system for the elderly. However, th...

The development of cellular structures has garnered significant interest in regenerative medicine for the restoration of lost tissues, organs, and blood vessels. Our research group...

The neural signals of a subject listening attentively to one of two simultaneously presented speech streams can be used to decode the auditory source that the subject is focusing o...

Near-infrared multispectral imaging (NIR-MSI) has attracted attention in the surgical field owing to its ability to penetrate tissues and analyze molecular vibrations with high spa...

Intercellular communication is mediated by fibrous structures known as tunneling nanotubes (TNTs). TNTs are present in diseased cells, including cancer cells, and facilitate the tr...

Phase-change nano-droplets (PCNDs) have been gaining attention for their potential applications in ultrasound-based therapeutic and diagnostic technologies. PCNDs transform from a ...

Regular stress checks and health confirmations by supervisors are standard practices in high-risk environments such as construction sites. Therefore, effective health management of...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia that increases the risk of cardiac diseases such as stroke; hence, its early detection is important. Although many studies ha...

An intravascular shunt (arteriovenous anastomosis) created during hemodialysis is a common site of stenosis. Early detection of stenosis is crucial for treatment; hence, shunt soun...

Purpose: The three-dimensional polymer gel dosimeter functions as an anthropomorphic phantom that can be applied to dose verification in clinical radiotherapy. The advantage of pol...

Predicting spatiotemporal neural activity could lead to early detection of seizures and better understanding of cognitive processes in the brain. Parallel reservoir computing, wher...

Urine-related information, such as voided volume and flow rate, is important for the diagnosis of dysuria. Uroflowmeters, which are used for obtaining urine information, measure ma...

We investigated a system identification method for modeling the standing posture without external perturbation. Assuming that postural sway during quiet standing is caused by inter...

Surgical cameras and endoscopes provide important imaging information about a patient's anatomy and pathology, but most of the data are limited to 2D textured representations of vi...

To realize real-time image registration between preoperative three-dimensional ultrasound images and an intraoperative two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound image, accurate image extract...

Mindfulness (MF) is a type of meditation, the purpose of which is to free the mind from anxiety about the future and regrets about the past. Usually with MF, a person counts the nu...

The development of data measurement and pattern recognition modules using wearable sensing technology and deep-learning models has encouraged the realization of daily and long-term...

Regenerative medicine involves the regeneration and repair of cells, tissues, and organs to restore health. To meet the requirements of clinical applications, it is necessary to co...

Humanlike text-to-speech synthesis has not yet been achieved using machines. Reading speed is a critical parameter determining natural prosody and is used to assess the quality of ...
