RESUMO
ADHD affects a major portion of our children, predominantly boys. Upon diagnosis treatment can be offered that is usually quite effective. Diagnosis is generally based on subjective observation and interview. As a result, an objective test for the detection or presence of ADHD is considered very desirable. Based on EEG, across multiple channels, using autoregressive model parameters as features, ADHD detection is approached here in analogy with the imposter problem known from speaker verification. Gaussian mixture models are used to define ADHD and universal background models so that a likelihood ratio detector can be designed. The efficacy of this approach is reflected in the traditional detector performance measures of the area-under-the-curve and equal-error-probability. The results - based on a limited database of males, approximately 6 years of age - indicate that high probability of detection and low equal error rate can be achieved simultaneously with the proposed approach, when using EEG collected during an attention network task. The effect of using contaminated data is investigated as well.
RESUMO
We present TeamVis, a set of tools for sensing and visualization of objective team performance in a simulated medical scenario. TeamVis helps teams, instructors, and researchers in observation, analysis, and evaluation of team behavior. The current system supports analysis of team movements and verbal communication. The system has potential to provide deeper insight into team performance, enabling design of more effective simulation training scenarios. Furthermore, the observed metrics can aid trainee debriefings by providing another mechanism for learning through self-reflection.
