Laboratory mice are frequently used in biomedical studies. Facial expressions of mice provides important data about various issues. For this reason real time tracking of mice provide output to both researcher and software that operate on face image directly. Since body and face of laboratory mice is the same color and mice moves fast, tracking of face of mice is a challenging task. In recent years, methods that uses artificial neural networks provide effective solutions to problems such as classification, decision making and object recognition due to their ability to abstract training from data. In this study, a method based on deep learning is proposed for real time tracking of face of mice and successful results are obtained. Our studies are still going on in order to improve our results obtained using a limited dataset.

Mouse face tracking using convolutional neural networks Akkaya, İbrahim Batuhan; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016) Laboratory mice are frequently used in biomedical studies. Facial expressions of mice provide important data about various issues. For this reason real time tracking of mice provide output to both researcher and software that operate on face image directly. Since body and face of mice is the same color and mice moves fast, tracking of face of mice is a challenging task.

Assesment of Pain in Mouse Facial Images ERAL, Mustafa; ÇAKIR AKTAŞ, Canan; EREN KOÇAK, EMİNE; DALKARA, TURGAY; Halıcı, Uğur (2016-11-05) Analysing mouse behavior in medical experiments to determine adverse effects of medical drugs requires special expertise and it is a time consuming tedious task. Automatic scaling of facial pain mimics in mice are important for a fast and objective labeling. Although there exists a manual procedure for scaling mouse facial pain expression, a full automatic method does not exist yet. In this paper, a computational method is proposed for assesment of pain through facial exressions of mouses in experiments whe...
Mouse face tracking using convolutional neural networks Akkaya, Ibrahim Batuhan; Halıcı, Uğur (2018-03-01) Facial expressions of laboratory mice provide important information for pain assessment to explore the effect of drugs being developed for medical purposes. For automatic pain assessment, a mouse face tracker is needed to extract the face regions in videos recorded in pain experiments. However, since the body and face of mice are the same colour and mice move fast, tracking their face is a challenging task. In recent years, with their ability to learn from data, deep learning provides effective solutions fo...
Biological network modelling based on differentially expressed proteins in a bacilysin-deficient strain of bacillus subtilis Kutnu, Meltem; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2019) Bacillus subtilis is a non-pathogenic, Gram-positive organism which is known for producing a broad range of secondary metabolites with pharmacological and antimicrobial activities. The dipeptide bacilysin is one of the many antibiotics synthesized by certain strains of B. subtilis, and it is composed of L-alanine and the non-proteinogenic amino acid L-anticapsin. Earlier silencing studies by our group have suggested that bacilysin acts as a pleiotropic molecule on its host. Therefore, the absence or lack of...
A Cell Culture Chip with Transparent, Micropillar-Decorated Bottom for Live Cell Imaging and Screening of Breast Cancer Cells Ermiş Şen, Menekşe; ANTMEN ALTUNSOY, EZGİ; Kuren, Ozgur; Demirci, Utkan; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2022-01-01) In the recent years, microfabrication technologies have been widely used in cell biology, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine studies. Today, the implementation of microfabricated devices in cancer research is frequent and advantageous because it enables the study of cancer cells in controlled microenvironments provided by the microchips. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women, and the way breast cancer cells interact with their physical microenvironment is still under investigat...
