Despite modern imaging technologies, problems are faced in quantitative brain morphology studies. Since the structural and functional organization of the human brain is complex, advanced methods are needed. Current methods are incapable of detecting complete shape anomalies. Moreover, the rapidly increasing volume of image data forces development of image analysis methodologies that can be processed fast and locally. All of these requirements create the need for an advanced shape analysis technique to characterize brain morphology. Solutions to the defined problems while monitoring the effects of neuro-degenerative diseases on the Corpus Callosum morphology are being investigated in this study via shape grammars.

Analyzing effective connectivity of brain using fMRI data : DCM and PPI Mojtahedi, Sina; Halıcı, Uğur; Çiçek, Metehan; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2013) In neuroscience and biomedical engineering fields, one of the most important issues nowadays is finding a relationship between different brain regions when it is stimulated. Connectivity is an important research area in neuroscience which tries to determine the relationship between different brain region when the brain is stimulated externally or internally. Three main type of connectivity are discussed in this field: Anatomical, Functional and Effective connectivity. Importance of effective connectivity is...
Improving the sub-cortical gm segmentation using evolutionary hierarchical region merging Çiftçioğlu, Mustafa Ulaş; Gökçay, Didem; Department of Medical Informatics (2011) Segmentation of sub-cortical Gray Matter (GM) structures in magnetic resonance brain images is crucial in clinic and research for many purposes such as early diagnosis of neurological diseases, guidance of surgical operations and longitudinal volumetric studies. Unfortunately, the algorithms that segment the brain into 3 tissues usually suffer from poor performance in the sub-cortical region. In order to increase the detection of sub-cortical GM structures, an evolutionary hierarchical region merging approa...
A Design for Real-time Neural Modeling on the GPU Incorporating Dendritic Computation Garaas, Tyler W.; Marino, Frank; Duzcu, Halil; Pomplun, Marc (2009-07-05) Recent advances in neuroscience have underscored the role of single neurons in information processing. Much of this work has focused on the role of neurons' dendrites to perform complex local computations that form the basis for the global computation of the neuron. Generally, artificial neural networks that are capable of real-time simulation do not take into account the principles underlying single-neuron processing. In this paper we propose a design for a neural model executed on the graphics processing ...
The Effect of context luminance on contrast perception Pamir, Zahide; Acartürk, Cengiz; Boyacı, Hüseyin; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2014) The present study has employed psychophysics and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) methodologies. The aim of the study is to investigate the role of bottom-up and top-down processing of luminance in contrast perception. In particular, since it is thought that visual illusions occur as a result of top-down processing by means of visual context, the present study investigates how luminance in context affects contrast perception by using brightness illusion. In other words, the purpose of the study ...
Assessment of changes in the dielectric properties of multidrug resistant cancer cells by electrorotation technique / Bahrieh, Garsha; Külah, Haluk; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) With recent advances in microfabrication technologies different methodologies are employed to study the dielectric properties of the biological systems. These include electrorotation (ER), dielectrophoresis, microelectrical impedance spectroscopy, and impedance flow cytometry. Among them, ER is utilized as a high accuracy approach in determining the membrane and interior dielectric properties of single cells. In addition, in cancer therapy, cancer cells are developing resistance toward the chemotherapeutic ...
