Visual field testing is the gold standard for evaluating a patient's visual field. Visual field testing is required for monitoring and diagnosis of several disorders, including glaucoma, which affects more than 80 million individuals. While the patient is fixated at a certain place, light of various luminosities is sent to fixed locations, and the sensitivities to light at each position are calculated by recording the patient's responses to observed stimuli. Virtual reality headsets have just begun to be used to conduct visual field assessments due to their design and digital displays. However, because the testing takes so long, patients become fatigued, which reduces cooperation and test accuracy. It also restricts the number of tests a clinic may do in a single day. The number of testable point locations is expanded using a digital screen in this article, and the effect of selecting an optimal subset of sites, which is discovered using a reinforcement learning approach to reduce test length, is studied. In addition, the impact of employing predicted future visual field test results in testing on the test time is compared to traditional testing procedures.

VISUAL FIELD TESTING USING FORECASTING AND VIRTUAL REALITY
Bülbül, Emre; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-2)
The standard method for assessing a patient’s visual field is visual field testing. Many diseases, including glaucoma, which affects more than 80 million people, require visual field testing for monitoring and diagnosis. The testing is done by sending light to fixed locations with different luminosities while the patient is fixating at a certain point, then the sensitivities to light at each location are determined by recording the responses of the patient to seen stimuli. Because of their form and digital ...
Effect of human prior knowledge on game success and comparison with reinforcement learning
Hasanoğlu, Mert.; Çakır, Murat Perit; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2019)
This study aims to find out the effect of prior knowledge on the success of humans in a non-rewarding game environment, and then to compare human performance with a reinforcement learning method in an effort to observe to what extent this method can be brought closer to human behavior and performance with the data obtained. For this purpose, different versions of a simple 2D game were used, and data were collected from 32 participants. At the end of the experiment, it is concluded that prior knowledge, such...
Deep learning for the classification of bipolar disorder using fNIRS measurements
Evgin, Haluk Barkın; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-2-3)
Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a neural imaging method that is proved to be prominent in the classification of psychiatric disorders, and assertive accuracy results are being obtained using fNIRS. High temporal resolution, feasibility, and partial endurance to head movements are the traits that are highlighting fNIRS among other imaging methods. fNIRS data is a one dimensional multi-channeled time series. In this thesis, bipolar disorder is classified using some state of the art deep learn...
A deep learning methodology for the flow field prediction around airfoils
Duru, Cihat; Baran, Özgür Uğraş; Alemdar, Hande; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-9-07)
This study aims to predict flow fields around airfoils using a deep learning methodology based on an encoder-decoder convolutional neural network. Neural network training and evaluation are performed from a set of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions of the 2-D flow field around a group of known airfoils at a wide range of angles of attack. Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS)-based CFD simulations are performed at a selected Mach number on the transonic regime on high-quality structured computati...
A medical image processing and analysis framework
Çevik, Alper; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Oğuz, Kader Karlı; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2011)
Medical image analysis is one of the most critical studies in field of medicine, since results gained by the analysis guide radiologists for diagnosis, treatment planning, and verification of administered treatment. Therefore, accuracy in analysis of medical images is at least as important as accuracy in data acquisition processes. Medical images require sequential application of several image post-processing techniques in order to be used for quantification and analysis of intended features. Main objective...
