Objective: The present study was aimed to correlate the clinical tests with the laboratory measures under dual task conditions in Parkinson's disease (PD). Materials and Methods: Eleven people with idiopathic PD (Modified Hoehn and Yahr scores 1-3) were selected by simple non-probability sampling. Center of pressure (COP) data obtained by force platform was used to calculate mean total velocity...

The inherent complexity of the software systems creates problems in the software engineering industry. Numerous techniques have been designed to comprehend the fundamental characteristics of software systems. To understand the software, it is necessary to know about the complexity level of the source code. Cognitive informatics perform an important role for better understanding the complexity o...

Circulating tumor cells (CTC) in blood are promising new biomarkers potentially useful for prognostic prediction and monitoring of therapies in patients with solid tumors including colon cancer. Moreover, CTC research opens a new avenue for understanding the biology of metastasis in patients with cancer. However, an in-depth investigation of CTCs is hampered by the very low number of these cell...

Previous studies have suggested that decision aid support can positively affect performance on dynamic decision making tasks. However, few studies have examined the effects of decision aid support on the cognitive mechanisms underpinning performance. This study tested the relationships between decision aid support (in the form of causal loop diagrams), task complexity, cognitive load, mental mo...

introduction: the current study aimed to elucidate the role of preparatory cognitive control in decision making and its neural correlates using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmri). to this effect, by employing a series of new cognitive tasks, we assessed the role of preparatory cognitive control in monetary (risky) decision making. methods: the participants had to decide between a risk...

Sound event detection is the task of detecting the type, onset time, and offset time of sound events in audio streams. The mainstream solution is recurrent neural networks (RNNs), which usually predict the probability of each sound event at every time step. Connectionist temporal classification (CTC) has been applied in order to relax the need for exact annotations of onset and offset times; th...
