Abstract:
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a serious disease that affects the brain. Parkinson's disease can cause huge problems, such as trembling and stiffness. It will get worse as time goes on. Early diagnosis and intervention of PD can carry out effective and personalized treatment, reduce nursing cost and improve quality of life. This report first introduces the basic knowledge of PD and the technology used for PD recognition. This speech is divided into two parts, animal mouse and human PD recognition. After that, Professor Zhou will introduce how his research team deals with immersive challenges, such as the detection and tracking of single and multiple mice, the behavior recognition of single and multiple mice, and the social behavior analysis using the new video analysis technology developed by the team. Professor Zhou will introduce the machine learning technology to distinguish normal mice from PD mice through social behavior analysis, and show the artificial intelligence method developed by his team for biomarker analysis.
