Brain state classification by applying deep learning techniques on neuroimaging data has become a recent topic of research. However, unlike domains where the data is low dimensional or there are large number of available training samples, neuroimaging data is high dimensional and has few training samples. To tackle these issues, we present a sparse feedforward deep neural architecture for encoding and decoding the structural connectome of the human brain. We use a sparsely connected element-wise multiplication as the first hidden layer and a fixed transform layer as the output layer...

OCT is a widely used clinical ophthalmic imaging technique, but the presence of speckle noise can obscure important pathological features and hinder accurate segmentation. This paper presents a novel method for denoising optical coherence tomography (OCT) images using a combination of texture loss and generative adversarial networks (GANs). Previous approaches have integrated deep learning techniques, starting with denoising Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) that employed pixel-wise losses. While effective in reducing noise, these methods often introduced a blurring effect in the denoised OCT images...

Anastomosis is a common and critical part of reconstructive procedures within gastrointestinal, urologic, and gynecologic surgery. The use of autonomous surgical robots such as the smart tissue autonomous robot (STAR) system demonstrates an improved efficiency and consistency of the laparoscopic small bowel anastomosis over the current da Vinci surgical system. However, the STAR workflow requires auxiliary manual monitoring during the suturing procedure to avoid missed or wrong stitches. To eliminate this monitoring task from the operators, we integrated an optical coherence tomography (OCT) fiber sensor with the suture tool and developed an automatic tissue classification algorithm for detecting missed or wrong stitches in real time...

Three-dimensional stacks acquired with confocal or two-photon microscopy are crucial for studying neuroanatomy. However, high-resolution image stacks acquired at multiple depths are time-consuming and susceptible to photobleaching. In vivo microscopy is further prone to motion artifacts. In this work, we suggest that deep neural networks with sine activation functions encoding implicit neural representations (SIRENs) are suitable for predicting intermediate planes and correcting motion artifacts, addressing the aforementioned shortcomings...
