Biosensors, such as microelectrode arrays that record in vitro neuronal activity, provide powerful platforms for studying neuroactive substances. This study presents a machine learning workflow to analyze drug-induced changes in neuronal biosensor data using complex network measures from graph theory. Microelectrode array recordings of neuronal networks exposed to bicuculline, a GABA $$_A$$ receptor antagonist known to induce hypersynchrony, demonstrated the workflow’s ability to detect and characterize pharmacological effects. The workflow integrates network-based features with synchrony, optimizing preprocessing parameters, including spike train bin sizes, segmentation window sizes, and correlation methods. It achieved high classification accuracy (AUC up to 90%) and used Shapley Additive Explanations to interpret feature importance rankings. Significant reductions in network complexity and segregation, hallmarks of epileptiform activity induced by bicuculline, were revealed. While bicuculline’s effects are well established, this framework is designed to be broadly applicable for detecting both strong and subtle network alterations induced by neuroactive compounds. The results demonstrate the potential of this methodology for advancing biosensor applications in neuropharmacology and drug discovery.

World Scientific Series on Carbon Nanoscience, Page 89-179. The integration of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into field-effect transistors (FETs) has unlocked remarkable potential in biosensing technology. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of CNTFET biosensors, encompassing their fabrication, operational principles and sensing mechanisms, optimization strategies, and diverse applications. First, we describe the various techniques employed in the fabrication of CNTFET biosensors and functionalization of CNTs, elucidating the intricate processes that leverage the unique properties of CNTs to create highly sensitive and selective platforms for biosensing applications. In the following sections, we discuss the operating principles of different CNTFET biosensor configurations and the sensing mechanisms governing CNTFET biosensors. The emphasis is then placed on different strategies to improve biosensing performance based on these sensing mechanisms. Finally, we explore the diverse array of applications for CNTFET biosensors across various fields, including medical diagnostics, health monitoring, environmental pollutants detection, and food analysis. Additionally, recent advances in machine learning-assisted biosensing utilizing CNTFET biosensors are also reviewed. This chapter concludes with challenges and outlooks for future biosensing applications for CNTFETs.

The integration of wearable sensors with artificial intelligence forms the base for analyzing physical activities through digital signal processing, numerical methods, and machine learning. Computational intelligence and communication technologies enable personalized monitoring, training, and rehabilitation, with applications in sports, neurology, and biomedicine. This paper focuses on motion analysis in alpine skiing using real accelerometric, gyroscopic, positioning, and video data to evaluate ski movement patterns. The proposed methodology employs functional transforms to estimate motion patterns and utilizes artificial intelligence for signal segmentation and feature classification related to lower limb movement. Machine learning results indicate differences in energy distribution before and after ski turns and demonstrate the feasibility of classifying associated motion patterns with accuracies of 98.1% and 90.7%, respectively, using a two-layer neural network. The interdisciplinary application of computational intelligence in this domain enhances motion analysis, injury prevention, and performance optimization. This study highlights the unifying role of digital signal processing, which uses similar mathematical tools across various applications.
Purpose: To develop a deep learning-based reconstruction method for highly accelerated 3D time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-MRA) that achieves high-quality reconstruction with robust generalization using extremely limited acquired raw data, addressing the challenge of time-consuming acquisition of high-resolution, whole-head angiograms. Methods: A novel few-shot learning-based reconstruction framework is proposed, featuring a 3D variational network specifically designed for 3D TOF-MRA that is pre-trained on simulated complex-valued, multi-coil raw k-space datasets synthesized from diverse open-source magnitude images and fine-tuned using only two single-slab experimentally acquired datasets. The proposed approach was evaluated against existing methods on acquired retrospectively undersampled in vivo k-space data from five healthy volunteers and on prospectively undersampled data from two additional subjects. Results: The proposed method achieved superior reconstruction performance on experimentally acquired in vivo data over comparison methods, preserving most fine vessels with minimal artifacts with up to 8-fold acceleration. Compared to other simulation techniques, the proposed method generated more realistic raw k-space data for 3D TOF-MRA. Consistently high-quality reconstructions were also observed on prospectively undersampled data. Conclusions: By leveraging few-shot learning, the proposed method enabled highly accelerated 3D TOF-MRA relying on minimal experimentally acquired data, achieving promising results on both retrospective and prospective in vivo data while outperforming existing methods. Given the challenges of acquiring and sharing large raw k-space datasets, this holds significant promise for advancing research and clinical applications in high-resolution, whole-head 3D TOF-MRA imaging.### Competing Interest StatementHao Li receives studentship support from Siemens Healthineers.
