Towards a predictive spatio-temporal representation of brain data

1 code implementation29 Feb 2020 Tiago Azevedo, Luca Passamonti, Pietro Liò, Nicola Toschi

The characterisation of the brain as a "connectome", in which the connections are represented by correlational values across timeseries and as summary measures derived from graph theory analyses, has been very popular in the last years.

Semantic Brain Decoding: from fMRI to conceptually similar image reconstruction of visual stimuli

1 code implementation13 Dec 2022 Matteo Ferrante, Tommaso Boccato, Nicola Toschi

Brain decoding is a field of computational neuroscience that uses measurable brain activity to infer mental states or internal representations of perceptual inputs.

An intertwined neural network model for EEG classification in brain-computer interfaces

no code implementations4 Aug 2022 Andrea Duggento, Mario De Lorenzo, Stefano Bargione, Allegra Conti, Vincenzo Catrambone, Gaetano Valenza, Nicola Toschi

In this paper, we present a deep neural network architecture specifically engineered to a) provide state-of-the-art performance in multiclass motor imagery classification and b) remain robust to preprocessing to enable real-time processing of raw data as it streams from EEG and BCI equipment.

Then, we reconstruct the sample based on a similarity measure between the sample embedding and the prototypical vectors of the clusters.

Contrastive learning for unsupervised medical image clustering and reconstruction

no code implementations24 Sep 2022 Matteo Ferrante, Tommaso Boccato, Simeon Spasov, Andrea Duggento, Nicola Toschi

The lack of large labeled medical imaging datasets, along with significant inter-individual variability compared to clinically established disease classes, poses significant challenges in exploiting medical imaging information in a precision medicine paradigm, where in principle dense patient-specific data can be employed to formulate individual predictions and/or stratify patients into finer-grained groups which may follow more homogeneous trajectories and therefore empower clinical trials.

Multimodal and multicontrast image fusion via deep generative models

no code implementations28 Mar 2023 Giovanna Maria Dimitri, Simeon Spasov, Andrea Duggento, Luca Passamonti, Pietro Li`o, Nicola Toschi

As proof of concept, we test our architecture on the well characterized Human Connectome Project database demonstrating that our latent embeddings can be clustered into easily separable subject strata which, in turn, map to different phenotypical information which was not included in the embedding creation process.
