Augmenting Neurological Disorder Prediction and Rehabilitation Using Artificial Intelligence

Augmenting Neurological Disorder Prediction and Rehabilitation Using Artificial Intelligence focuses on how the neurosciences can benefit from advances in AI, especially in areas such as medical image analysis for the improved diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, early detection of acute neurologic events, prediction of stroke, medical image segmentation for quantitative evaluation of neuroanatomy and vasculature, diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease, autism spectrum disorder, and other key neurological disorders. Chapters also focus on how AI can help in predicting stroke recovery, and the use of Machine Learning and AI in personalizing stroke rehabilitation therapy.

Other sections delve into Epilepsy and the use of Machine Learning techniques to detect epileptogenic lesions on MRIs and how to understand neural networks.

• Provides readers with an understanding on the key applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the diagnosis and treatment of the most important neurological disorders
• Integrates recent advancements of artificial intelligence and machine learning to the evaluation of large amounts of clinical data for the early detection of disorders such as Alzheimer’s Disease, autism spectrum disorder, Multiple Sclerosis, headache disorder, Epilepsy, and stroke
• Provides readers with illustrative examples of how artificial intelligence can be applied to outcome prediction, neurorehabilitation and clinical exams, including a wide range of case studies in predicting and classifying neurological disorders
