The Ethical Landscape of Robotics

This paper surveys some of the main ethical issues pertaining to robotics that have been discussed in the literature. We start with the idea of responsibility ascription that arises when an autonomous system malfunctions or harms people. Next, we discuss v ...

The limits of agency in walking humans

Olaf Blanke, Oliver Alan Kannape

An important principle of human ethics is that individuals are not responsible for actions performed when unconscious. Recent research found that the generation of an action and the building of a conscious experience of that action (agency) are distinct pr ...

Wound repair and regeneration

Yann Barrandon

The repair of wounds is one of the most complex biological processes that occur during human life. After an injury, multiple biological pathways immediately become activated and are synchronized to respond. In human adults, the wound repair process commonl ...

Atlas-based Segmentation of Pathological MR Brain Images using a Model of Lesion Growth

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Olivier Cuisenaire

We propose a method for brain atlas deformation in presence of large space-occupying tumors or lesions, based on an a priori model of lesion growth that assumes radial expansion of the lesion from its starting point. Our approach involves three steps. Firs ...

Atlas-Based Segmentation of Pathological Brain MR Images

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Olivier Cuisenaire

We propose a method for brain atlas deformation in presence of large space-occupying tumors, based on an a priori model of lesion growth that assumes radial expansion of the lesion from its starting point. First, an affine registration brings the atlas and ...

Atlas-based Segmentation using a Model of Lesion Growth

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra

We propose a method for brain atlas deformation in presence of large space-occupying tumors or lesions, based on an a priori model of lesion growth that assumes radial expansion of the lesion from its central point. Atlas-based methods have been of limited ...

Group sequential procedures for multiple comparison of rates of change

Group sequential methods find a particular field of application in clinical trials because patient recruitment is by nature sequential. It is important to minimize the number of patients exposed to an inferior treatment. Moreover, the experimenter is requi ...
