Book/eBook: Applied Biomedical Engineering Using Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Models by Jorge Garza-Ulloa- Academic Press(R) -Elsevier 2021

Classically, a “physician” is defined as a professional who possesses special knowledge and skills derived from rigorous education, training, and experience, in other words “medical education remains based on information acquisition and application”. Currently, the amount of available medical knowledge now exceeds the organizing capacity of the human mind. In addition, the skills required of practicing physicians and healthcare personnel and by consequences in Biomedical Engineering will increase in two areas : “Collaborating with and managing Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications”, and “the need for more sophisticated mathematical understanding”. My goal on this book is facilitate the learning and implementation of new smart systems through the relationship between three different multidiscipline engineering branches: “Biomedical Engineering”, “Cognitive Science” and “Computer science”; through different “Artificial Intelligent models” to analyze “human illness, diseases and disorders”, with special emphasis in “mental processes of the information during cognition” when disorders of “neurologic diseases are present in the human body”, with the purpose to “evaluate their non-motors symptoms will help to find solution for treatments, following-up and by consequence improve their quality of life ”

This book has seven chapters, covering the following topics:

This book has 7 easy to follow chapters

Chapter I Biomedical Engineering and the evolution of Artificial Intelligence

Study of the interactions on different injuries, illness, and diseases with special emphasis in Neurology with Cognitive Science in Biomedical Engineering solutions based in the evolution of Artificial intelligence (AI) through Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL) and Cognitive Computing (CC). Introduction to the general framework architecture for AI- Cognitive Computing Agent Systems (AI-CCAS) to help in the detection of cognitive human-like abilities with the objective of develop AI methods for medicine and healthcare through the analysis of numeric data, images, speech, and text to help in the detection and diagnostic of illness or determine health conditions, making special emphasis in neurologic diseases.

Chapter V Deep Learning Models Principles applied to Biomedical Engineering

The underlying principle of “Deep Learning” is a compositional nature of “neural network” inspired by the biological elements that forms the “human brain”, as a collection of “nodes” emulating “brain neurons”, and their “neuron synapses” connections as primary elements of a net, that combined form mid-level elements identified as “Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)”, which in turn are combined with different architectures to form more complex networks. In this book “ANN” are organized based on their architectural type, and the way of their different components are connected to one another to define the specific learning goal as different types as: “Feed Forward Neural Network”, “Backpropagation Neural Networks”, “Recurrent Neural Networks”, “Memory Augmented Neural Networks”, “Modular Neural Networks” and “Evolutive Neural Networks”.

Chapter VII Cognitive Learning & Reasoning models applied to Biomedical Engineering

In this chapter we will focus on many “pre-studies and pre-analysis of different Biomedical Engineering problems that need to be develop with specialized research projects applying Cognitive Learning & Reasoning (CL&R ) algorithm, that can be integrated to the Proposed General Architecture framework of a Cognitive Computing Agents System (AI-CCAS)” with special emphasis at “Cognitive Learning and its relationship with neuroscience of reasoning using Cognitive Learning- Reasoning (CL&R) under Cognitive Computing (CC)” . The complexity for the analysis needed is bondless, and only be analyzed through the multidisciplinary sciences, where interactions of science as “Biomedical Engineering”, “Neurology”, “Cognitive Sciences” and “Computer Science” using tools with “exponential technologies” as “Artificial intelligence (AI)” and others through its “continuous exponential evolution” that includes Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL) and Cognitive Computing (CC). With the main purpose of obtain useful “AI Models” that can help analyze human health problems. Now it is the time and place to apply them and many others in research challenge projects.

Chapters 7 Cognitive Learning & Reasoning models applied to Biomedical Engineering

This book includes a companion website with datasets with MATLAB® examples and IBM Watson® tutorials.

As explained in this book, Cognitive Science and Neuroscience has evolved over the years, and recently they have started to intersect, and this is very useful for the development of new Biomedical Engineering solutions applying tools based: on Artificial Intelligence-Machine Learning-Deep Learning-Cognitive Computing (AI-ML-DL-CC). Their evolution seems to point in the direction of revolutionaries’ new software technologies based in “new AI learning methods” and “new auto-configurable hardware” as “Neural network computers”, “Bio-molecular computers needed to develop”, “living bio-hybrid systems” and many more in continuous research and development, where the concept of “Cognitive Learning and its relationship with neuroscience of reasoning proposed as Cognitive Learning- Reasoning (CL&R)” will be easier and faster to implement..
