Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior01:28

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior

262
Automatic processing refers to the cognitive operations that occur without conscious intent or awareness, playing a fundamental role in shaping social cognition and behavior. These processes enable individuals to navigate complex social environments efficiently by relying on mental shortcuts and pre-existing knowledge structures known as schemas. One of the most influential mechanisms underlying automatic processing is priming, which subtly activates mental representations through exposure to...

Higher Mental Functions of Brain: Learning and Memory

2.1K
Memory is one of the most vital higher mental functions of the brain. Memory is closely related to learning because it enables us to retain information and experiences from our past to use them in our present life. It also helps us to remember facts, events, and skills, such as riding a bike or swimming. There are two types of memory — declarative memory, which involves memorizing facts or events, and procedural memory, which enables us to remember how to do something like writing or...

Trial and Error and Algorithm01:12

Trial and Error and Algorithm

425
A problem-solving strategy is a plan of action used to find a solution. Different strategies have distinct action plans. Trial and error involves trying different solutions until one works. For instance, to fix a broken printer, you might check ink levels, ensure the paper tray isn't jammed, and verify the printer's connection to your laptop. This method can be time-consuming but is commonly used. Thomas Edison, for example, used trial and error to find a suitable filament for the light...

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy

Phase-Contrast Microscopes
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness

2.6K
Avoidance learning and learned helplessness are critical concepts in understanding behavioral responses to negative stimuli.
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...

Associative Learning01:27

Associative Learning

1.4K
Associative learning is a fundamental concept in behavioral psychology, wherein a connection is established between two stimuli or events, leading to a learned response. This process is critical in understanding how behaviors are acquired and modified. Conditioning, the mechanism through which associations are formed, can be divided into two main types: classical conditioning and operant conditioning, each elucidating different aspects of associative learning.
Classical conditioning, also known...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging science
  • Database management
  • Machine learning

Background:

  • Neuroimaging databases face challenges with large datasets and inconsistent MRI contrast labeling.
  • Manual inspection of MRI contrast is resource-intensive and prone to errors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an automated method for identifying MRI contrast in large neuroimaging databases.
  • To compare the performance of a deep learning (DL) algorithm against a random forest (RF) algorithm for MRI contrast identification.

Main Methods:

  • A DL algorithm using convolution neural network architecture was developed to infer MRI contrast from image intensity.
  • An RF algorithm was developed to infer MRI contrast based on acquisition parameters.
  • A confidence measure was created to identify misclassified MRI volumes.

Main Results:

  • The DL algorithm achieved an error rate of less than 0.2% in identifying MRI contrast on an unseen dataset.
  • The RF algorithm had an error rate of 1.74% on the same dataset.
  • Reduced dataset sizes negatively impacted the DL algorithm's generalizability, but the confidence measure achieved 100% specificity in detecting misclassifications.

Conclusions:

  • The developed DL algorithm provides a practical and highly accurate solution for automatic MRI contrast identification.
  • The confidence measure enhances the reliability of the DL algorithm by flagging potentially misclassified scans.
  • This study highlights the effectiveness of DL and convolution neural networks for managing and analyzing large-scale neuroimaging data.
