Segmentation of macular edema datasets with small residual 3D U-Net architectures (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Frawley, J., Willcocks, C. G., Habib, M., Geenen, C., Steel, D. H., & Obara, B. (2020, October). Segmentation of macular edema datasets with small residual 3D U-Net architectures. Presented at 20th IEEE International Conference on BioInformatics and BioEngineering, Cincinnati, OH

This paper investigates the application of deep convolutional neural networks with prohibitively small datasets to the problem of macular edema segmentation. In particular, we investigate several different heavily regularized architectures. We find t... Read More about Segmentation of macular edema datasets with small residual 3D U-Net architectures.

Sex/gender differences in brain activity - It's time for a biopsychosocial approach to cognitive neuroscience (2020)
Journal Article
Hausmann, M. (2021). Sex/gender differences in brain activity - It's time for a biopsychosocial approach to cognitive neuroscience. Cognitive Neuroscience, 12(3-4), 178-179. https://doi.org/10.1080/17588928.2020.1853087

There is compelling evidence that men and women differ in brain activity in long-term memory and other cognitive functions. However, until the origins of sex/gender differences in brain activity, and consequently behavior, are not fully understood, t...
