Imagine standing on the sidewalk of a busy city street, taking in your surroundings. “When you or I look at that scene, we have a task in mind—whether to find a place to eat or shop, the metro station, or a particular person,” says René Vidal, a Johns Hopkins professor of biomedical engineering. We take into […]
Lensless microchip sensors can resolve images down to the level of a molecule or less. The trick to making them useful for hematological applications is to readily detect and report on what’s contained in a few drops of blood. Read the full article in the JHU Engineering magazine.
Congratulations to Ali Sobhi Afshar, an ECE PhD graduate from the lab of CIS core faculty member Dr. John Goutsias at the Whitaker Biomedical Engineering Institute, on their collaborative research with Dr. Takanari Inoue’s group at Center for Cell Dynamics at the Johns Hopkins Institute for Basic Biomedical Sciences. This collaborative work by Dr. Afshar, […]
Johns Hopkins University will launch a new interdisciplinary institute aimed at developing the mathematical theories that will hasten the analysis of the massive amounts of data being used to study everything from the inner workings of the human cell to the structure of the universe. Read the full article on the Hub.
Imagine an embassy bombing. Consider the massive amount and varied types of data that investigators need to review to determine who carried out the attack and how it was accomplished. Such a probe could involve the slow, painstaking examinations of video footage, photos, internet communications, telephone records, and other material. Read the full article on […]
A Johns Hopkins University mathematician and computer scientist joined an international team of neuroscientists to create a complete map of the learning and memory center of the fruit fly larva brain, an early step toward mapping how all animal brains work. Read the full article here.
The human brain is the most complex machine in existence. Every brain is loaded with some 100 billion nerve cells, each connecting to thousands of others, giving around 100 trillion connections. Mapping those connections, or synapses, could enable scientists to decipher what causes neurological disease and mental illness. It’s an immense, daunting task. Read the […]
Neuroscientists are now collecting datasets of unprecedented scale thanks to technological advances. Yet, there are many unanswered questions that must be addressed to keep moving the field forward. To Register for the Webinar.
The paper entitled “Sequence of the most informative joints (SMIJ): A new representation for human skeletal action recognition” co-authored by CIS and CS PhD alumni Rizwan Chaudhry and CIS and BME Professor René Vidal, Ph.D., has received Elsevier’s 2015 Journal of Visual Communication and Image Representation (JVCI) Best Paper Award. The paper proposed a novel […]
René Vidal, Ph.D., Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Center for Imaging Science, will be co-hosting a workshop at the 33rd International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2016). IMCL 2016 is scheduled for June 19-24 in New York City. The workshop, entitled “Theory of Deep Learning”, is scheduled for June 24. Dr. Vidal is hosting the workshop […]
