  1. 1. DIFFERENTIAL OUTCOME TRAINING AND HUMANOID ROBOT FEEDBACK ON A VISUOSPATIAL GAMIFIED TASK: An experimental study investigating learning, affective social engagement cues and cognitive learning strategies

    Kandidat-uppsats, Institutionen för tillämpad informationsteknologi

    Författare :Alva Markelius; Sofia Sjöberg; [2023-02-01]
    Nyckelord :Human-robot interaction; gamified memory task; dementia; differential outcome theory; Furhat; engagement; digitalised treatments; robot assistance;

    Sammanfattning : By combining Differential Outcome Training (DOT), the usage of unique stimulus-response pairings, and feedback from a humanoid simulated robot (SDK) this study aims to improve learning performance of subjects on a visuospatial gamified memory task. This is achieved by using the SDK as an interface for an algorithm that provides audiovisual, reinforcing feedback promoting engangement in a new dyadic setup for a gamified task. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The impact of prebiotics, probiotics, and synbiotics on mild cognitive impairment : a systematic review

    Kandidat-uppsats, Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Författare :Astrid Viktorsson; Noah Westerholm; [2023]
    Nyckelord :MCI; Mild cognitive Impairment; Prebiotics; Probiotics; Synbiotics; DW2009; Bifidobacterium Breve A1; RBANS; MMSE.;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is seen as a state between normal aging and dementia, with patients having an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other sorts of dementia. MCI has been linked to a change in gut microbiota which impacts the microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA), consequently affecting neurological functions. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Detecting early-stage Alzheimer’s disease with Machine Learning algorithms

    Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Författare :Jakob Mukka; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Machine Learning; Random Forest; AdaBoost; Logistic Regression;

    Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) accounts for the majority of all cases of dementia and can be characterized as a disease that causes a progressive decline of cognitive functions. Detecting the disease at it’s earliest stage is important as medical treatments can be more effective if they can be applied before the disease has caused irreparable brain damage. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Sex-specific pathological response to Traumatic Brain Injury

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Författare :Christopher Fry; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Biology and Life Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of leading causes of death in the world; survivors commonly exhibit behavioural changes and neurocognitive defects in the long-term. Following TBI, rapid changes in the neurovascular unit (NVU) occur as the permeability of the blood brain barrier (BBB) increases and cerebral blood flow (CBF) becomes dysregulated. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Accuracy evaluation of using Graph Theory metrics for functional connectivity analysis MCI classification

    Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Datavetenskap

    Författare :Pablo Urquijo Martínez; [2022]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is an intermediate stage between the physiological cognitive deterioration due to ageing and a nonphysiological stage of dementia. MCI has morbidity between 12% and 18% of the population aged over 65 [1]. LÄS MER
