Due to individual differences of the depth of anaesthesia (DOA) controlled objects, the drawbacks of monitoring index, the traditional PID controller of anesthesia depth could not meet the demands of nonlinear control. However, the adjustments of the rules of DOA fuzzy control often rely on personal experience and, therefore, it could not achieve the satisfactory control effects. The present research established a fuzzy closed-loop control system which takes the cerebral state index (CSI) value as a feedback controlled variable, and it also adopts the particle swarm optimization (PSO) to optimize the fuzzy control rule and membership functions between the change of CSI and propofol infusion rate. The system sets the CSI targets at 40 and 30 through the system simulation, and it also adds some Gaussian noise to imitate clinical disturbance. Experimental results indicated that this system could reach the set CSI point accurately, rapidly and stably, with no obvious perturbation in the presence of noise. The fuzzy controller based on CSI which has been optimized by PSO has better stability and robustness in the DOA closed loop control system.
Stress distribution of denture is an important criterion to evaluate the reasonableness of technological parameters, and the bite force derived from the antagonist is the critical load condition for the calculation of stress distribution. In order to improve the accuracy of stress distribution as much as possible, all-ceramic crown of the mandibular first molar with centric occlusion was taken as the research object, and a bite force loading method reflecting the actual occlusal situation was adopted. Firstly, raster scanning and three dimensional reconstruction of the occlusal surface of molars in the standard dental model were carried out. Meanwhile, the surface modeling of the bonding surface was carried out according to the preparation process. Secondly, the parametric occlusal analysis program was developed with the help of OFA function library, and the genetic algorithm was used to optimize the mandibular centric position. Finally, both the optimized case of the mesh model based on the results of occlusal optimization and the referenced case according to the cusp-fossa contact characteristics were designed. The stress distribution was analyzed and compared by using Abaqus software. The results showed that the genetic algorithm was suitable for solving the occlusal optimization problem. Compared with the reference case, the optimized case had smaller maximum stress and more uniform stress distribution characteristics. The proposed method further improves the stress accuracy of the prosthesis in the finite element model. Also, it provides a new idea for stress analysis of other joints in human body.
When performing eye movement pattern classification for different tasks, support vector machines are greatly affected by parameters. To address this problem, we propose an algorithm based on the improved whale algorithm to optimize support vector machines to enhance the performance of eye movement data classification. According to the characteristics of eye movement data, this study first extracts 57 features related to fixation and saccade, then uses the ReliefF algorithm for feature selection. To address the problems of low convergence accuracy and easy falling into local minima of the whale algorithm, we introduce inertia weights to balance local search and global search to accelerate the convergence speed of the algorithm and also use the differential variation strategy to increase individual diversity to jump out of local optimum. In this paper, experiments are conducted on eight test functions, and the results show that the improved whale algorithm has the best convergence accuracy and convergence speed. Finally, this paper applies the optimized support vector machine model of the improved whale algorithm to the task of classifying eye movement data in autism, and the experimental results on the public dataset show that the accuracy of the eye movement data classification of this paper is greatly improved compared with that of the traditional support vector machine method. Compared with the standard whale algorithm and other optimization algorithms, the optimized model proposed in this paper has higher recognition accuracy and provides a new idea and method for eye movement pattern recognition. In the future, eye movement data can be obtained by combining it with eye trackers to assist in medical diagnosis.
Emotion is a crucial physiological attribute in humans, and emotion recognition technology can significantly assist individuals in self-awareness. Addressing the challenge of significant differences in electroencephalogram (EEG) signals among different subjects, we introduce a novel mechanism in the traditional whale optimization algorithm (WOA) to expedite the optimization and convergence of the algorithm. Furthermore, the improved whale optimization algorithm (IWOA) was applied to search for the optimal training solution in the extreme learning machine (ELM) model, encompassing the best feature set, training parameters, and EEG channels. By testing 24 common EEG emotion features, we concluded that optimal EEG emotion features exhibited a certain level of specificity while also demonstrating some commonality among subjects. The proposed method achieved an average recognition accuracy of 92.19% in EEG emotion recognition, significantly reducing the manual tuning workload and offering higher accuracy with shorter training times compared to the control method. It outperformed existing methods, providing a superior performance and introducing a novel perspective for decoding EEG signals, thereby contributing to the field of emotion research from EEG signal.
