Implementing spiking neural networks for real-time signal-processing and control applications: A model-validated FPGA approach (2007)
Journal Article
Pearson, M., Pipe, A. G., Mitchinson, B., Gurney, K., Melhuish, C., Gilhespy, I., & Nibouche, M. (2007). Implementing spiking neural networks for real-time signal-processing and control applications: A model-validated FPGA approach. IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks, 18(5), 1472-1487. https://doi.org/10.1109/TNN.2007.891203

In this paper, we present two versions of a hardware processing architecture for modeling large networks of leaky-integrate-and-fire (LIF) neurons; the second version provides performance enhancing features relative to the first. Both versions of the... Read More about Implementing spiking neural networks for real-time signal-processing and control applications: A model-validated FPGA approach.

Urine flow rate shape template and intermittent flow in males
Presentation / Conference
Li, R., Gammie, A., Zhu, Q., & Nibouche, M. Urine flow rate shape template and intermittent flow in males. Presented at International Continence Society annual meeting 2018

Uroflowmetry serves as a preliminary urodynamic test for physicians to indicate the possible cause of lower urinary tract symptoms. Alongside the most researched parameter maximum flow rate (Qmax), the shape of urine flow rate curve is also reported...

Multivariate analysis of variance for maximising the diagnosing accuracy in differentiating DU from BOO in males
Presentation / Conference
Li, R., Gammie, A., Zhu, Q., & Nibouche, M. Multivariate analysis of variance for maximising the diagnosing accuracy in differentiating DU from BOO in males. Presented at International Continence Society annual meeting 2018

Detrusor underactivity (DU) and bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) bother almost half of elder men. Although the treatment is different for these two lower urinary tract symptoms, invasive pressure flow studies remains the only gold standard for diagno...

Median frequency and sum of amplitude changes in rising slope: Two potential non-invasive indicators for differentiating DU from BOO in males
Presentation / Conference
Li, R., Gammie, A., Zhu, Q., & Nibouche, M. Median frequency and sum of amplitude changes in rising slope: Two potential non-invasive indicators for differentiating DU from BOO in males. Presented at International Continence Society annual meeting 2018

It remains a challenge to non-invasively differentiate detrusor underactivity (DU) from bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in males, and the gold standard is pressure flow studies, which is invasive, relatively expensive and may cause bleeding and infe...

Mathematical modelling analysis of male urine flow traces
Presentation / Conference
Li, R., Gammie, A., Zhu, Q., & Nibouche, M. Mathematical modelling analysis of male urine flow traces

Differentiating non-invasively detrusor underactivity (DU) from bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in men remains a challenge. Invasive pressure flow studies (PFS) are still required despite many years of study. The shape of the urine free flow curve...
