One of the common modalities for observing mental activity is electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. However, EEG recording is highly susceptible to various sources of noise and to inter subject differences. In order to solve these problems we present a deep recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture to learn robust features and predict the levels of cognitive load from EEG recordings. Using a deep learning approach, we first transform the EEG time series into a sequence of multispectral images which carries spatial information. Next, we train our recurrent hybrid network to learn robust representations from the sequence of frames. The proposed approach preserves spectral, spatial and temporal structures and extracts features which are less sensitive to variations along each dimension. Our results demonstrate cognitive memory load prediction across four different levels with an overall accuracy of 92.5% during the memory task execution and reduce classification error to 7.61% in comparison to other state-of-art techniques.
The performance of a deep learning model was not different from that of radiologists in the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer at MRI, and gradient-weighted class activation maps localized the tumor.

In medical practice, the X-ray Computed tomography-based scans expose a high radiation dose and lead to the risk of prostate or abdomen cancers. On the other hand, the low-dose CT scan can reduce radiation exposure to the patient. But the reduced radiation dose degrades image quality for human perception, and adversely affects the radiologist’s diagnosis and prognosis. In this paper, we introduce a GAN based auto-encoder network to de-noise the CT images. Our network first maps CT images to low dimensional manifolds and then restore the images from its corresponding manifold representations. Our reconstruction algorithm separately calculates perceptual similarity, learns the latent feature maps, and achieves more accurate and visually pleasing reconstructions. We also showed the effectiveness of our model on a number of patient abdomen CT images, and compare our results with existing deep learning and iterative reconstruction methods. Experimental results demonstrate that our model outperforms other state-of-the-art methods in terms of PSNR, SSIM, and statistical properties of the image regions. https://github.com/ShibaPrasad/CT-Image-Reconstruction
