Study on the LPFC populational electrophysiology responses in error trials of a Working Memory behavior task

This project aims to reveal the populational neuron code pattern in errors trials which monkeys failed to give the correct response of the given task. Based on previous paper which describes a stable subspace in working memory in monkey LPFC, the project focuses on the 300ms pre-motor neuron activities in both LPFC and FEF.

In this project, PCA and LDA were used to define the subspaces and noise cancelling. Based on the PSTH, error trials or aborted trials usually occur in specific sessions of the behavior task. Further analysis is still in process.

Retina Scan Image Analysis

Retina Scan Image Analysis to Detect Presence of Glaucoma and Measure Length of Blood Vessels.

This project focuses on developing a software to detect whether there is glaucoma and measure vessel length in a retinal scan image in Python. Used Convolutional Neural Network to develop two models to detect glaucoma based on the radius of optic disc and cup, and the prediction accuracy is relatively high (around 0.8-0.9). Blood vessels length were measured using segmentation methods from OpenCV package. A GUI was also developed using Python.
