A Comparison of Movement-Related Cortical Potentials and Their Application in Brain-Computer Interfaces for Autism Spectrum Disorder
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-23)Brain-computer interfaces have the potential to improve the lives of many populations who benefit from neurofeedback. Autism Spectrum Disorder is a condition experienced by many and its deficits are potentially improved ... -
Compensated Row-Column Ultrasound Imaging System
(University of Waterloo, 2020-03-12)Ultrasound imaging is a valuable tool in many applications ranging from material science to medical imaging. While 2-D ultrasound imaging is more commonly used, 3-D ultrasound imaging offers unique opportunities that can ... -
Compensated Row-Column Ultrasound Imaging System Using Fisher Tippett Multilayered Conditional Random Field Model
(PLOS, 2015-12-11)3-D ultrasound imaging offers unique opportunities in the field of non destructive testing that cannot be easily found in A-mode and B-mode images. To acquire a 3-D ultrasound image without a mechanically moving transducer, ... -
Comprehensive Framework for Computer-Aided Prostate Cancer Detection in Multi-Parametric MRI
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-30)Prostate cancer is the most diagnosed form of cancer and one of the leading causes of cancer death in men, but survival rates are relatively high with sufficiently early diagnosis. The current clinical model for initial ... -
Computational Depth from Defocus via Active Quasi-random Pattern Projections
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-22)Depth information is one of the most fundamental cues in interpreting the geometric relationship of objects. It enables machines and robots to perceive the world in 3D and allows them to understand the environment far ... -
Computational Investigation of Role of Platelets In Cancer Metastasis
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-21)Recent studies suggest that platelets have a significant role in improving the survival of circulating tumor cells and aggravating cancer metastasis. The main function of platelets, as a blood constituent, is to bind to ... -
Computational Polarimetry: A Bayesian Framework for Polarimetric System Design
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-10)In this thesis, we propose a novel polarimetric system design framework that computationally evaluates a design to solve an optical problem. It does this by explicitly formulating the logical connections and dependencies ... -
A conceptual IoT-based early-warning architecture for remote monitoring of COVID-19 patients in wards and at home
(Elsevier, 2022-05)Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, health services around the globe are struggling. An effective system for monitoring patients can improve healthcare delivery by avoiding in-person contacts, enabling early-detection of severe ... -
Conflicting Attitudes in Environmental Management and Brownfield Redevelopment
