Use of Support Vector Machines and Neural Network in Diagnosis of Neuromuscular Disorders

In this study the performance of support vector machine (SVM)and back-propagation neural network were applied to analyze the classification of the electromyogram (EMG) signals obtained from normal, neuropathy and myopathy subjects. By using autoregressive (AR) modeling, AR coefficients were obtained from EMG signals. Moreover, the support vector machine and artificial neural network (ANN) were used as base classifiers. The AR coefficients were benefited as inputs for SVM and ANN. Besides, these coefficients were tested both in ANN and SVM. The results show that SVM has high anticipation level in the diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders. It is proved that its test performance is high compared with ANN.

Comparison of MLP Neural Network and Neuro-fuzzy System in Transcranial Doppler Signals Recorded from the Cerebral Vessels

Transcranial Doppler signals recorded from cerebral vessels of 110 patients were transferred to a personal computer by using a 16 bit sound card. Spectral analyses of Transcranial Doppler signals were performed for determining the Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural network and neuro Ankara-fuzzy system inputs. In order to do a good interpretation and rapid diagnosis, FFT parameters of Transcranial Doppler signals classified using MLP neural network and neuro-fuzzy system. Our findings demonstrated that 92% correct classification rate was obtained from MLP neural network, and 86% correct classification rate was obtained from neuro-fuzzy system.     

Classifying Epilepsy Diseases Using Artificial Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithm

In this study, FFT analysis is applied to the EEG signals of the normal and patient subjects and the obtained FFT coefficients are used as inputs in Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The differences shown by the non-stationary random signals such as EEG signals in cases of health and sickness (epilepsy) were evaluated and tried to be analyzed under computer-supported conditions by using artificial neural networks. Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) architecture is used Levenberg-Marquardt (LM), Quickprop (QP), Delta-bar delta (DBD), Momentum and Conjugate gradient (CG) learning algorithms, and the best performance was tried to be attained by ensuring the optimization with the use of genetic algorithms of the weights, learning rates, neuron numbers of hidden layer in the training process. This study shows that the artificial neural network increases the classification performance using genetic algorithm.     

Design of Microcontroller-Based EMG and the Analysis of EMG Signals

In this work, a microcontroller-based EMG designed and tested on 40 patients. When the patients are in rest, the fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis was applied to EMG signals recorded from right leg peroneal region. The histograms are constructed from the results of the FFT analysis. The analysis results shows that the amplitude of fibrillation potential of the muscle fiber of 30 patients measured from peroneal region is low and the duration is short. This is the reason why the motor nerves degenerated and 10 patients were found to be healthy.

Classification of Aorta Insufficiency and Stenosis Using Neuro-Fuzzy System

Cardiac Doppler signals recorded from aorta valve of 60 patients were transferred to a personal computer by using a 16 bit sound card. The fast Fourier transform (FFT) method was applied to the recorded signal from each patient. Since FFT method inherently cannot offer a good spectral resolution at jet blood flows such as cardiac Doppler signals, it sometimes causes wrong interpretation. In order to do a good interpretation and rapid diagnosis, cardiac Doppler blood flow signals were statistically arranged and then classified using neuro-fuzzy system. The NEFCLASS model, which is used to create a fuzzy classification system from data, was used. The classification results show that neuro-fuzzy system offers best results in the case of diagnosis.     

A New Approach for Concealed Information Identification Based on ERP Assessment

Recently, numerous concealed information test (CIT) studies have been done with event related potential (ERP) for its sufficient validity in applied use. In this study, a new approach based on wavelet coefficients (WCs) and kernel learning algorithm is proposed to identify concealed information. Totally 16 subjects went through the designed CIT paradigm and the multichannel electroencephalogram (EEG) signals were recorded. Then, the high-dimensional WCs of ERP in delta, theta, alpha and beta rhythms were extracted. For the analysis of the data, kernel principle component analysis (KPCA) and a support vector machines (SVM) classifier are implemented. The results show that WCs features are significant differences between concealed information and irrelevant information (P?<?0.05). The KPCA is able to effectively reduce feature dimensionalities and increase generalization performance of SVM. A high accuracy (93.6%) in recognizing concealed information and irrelevant information is achieved, which indicates the combination KPCA and SVM may provide a useful tool for detecting the concealed information.     

Diagnosis of colon cancer with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy on the malignant colon tissue samples

Background  Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) combined with chemometrics discriminant analysis technology could improve diagnosis. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of FT-IR on malignant colon tissue samples in diagnosis of colon cancer.

Methods  Principal component analysis (PCA) and support vector machine classification were used to discriminate FT-IR spectra from malignant and normal tissue. Colon tissues samples from 85 patients were used to demonstrate the procedure.

Results  For this set of colon spectral data, the  sensitivity and specificity of the support vector machine (SVM) classification were found both higher than 90%.

Conclusions  FT-IR provided important information about cancerous tissue, which could be used to discriminate malignant from normal tissues. The combination of PCA and SVM classification indicated that FT-IR has a potential clinical application in diagnosis of colon cancer.
