  • The Handbook of Autobiographical Memory

    From Basic to Applied Perspectives
    • 1st Edition
    • Mohamad El Haj + 2 more
    • English
    The Handbook of Autobiographical Memory: From Basic to Applied Perspectives offers a comprehensive view on autobiographical memory from a multidisciplinary approach. The book explores contemporary advances in understanding both cognitive and neural processes, including historical contexts on autobiographical memory theory and assessment. The book further synthesizes insights from cognitive, developmental, and social aspects of autobiographical functioning while also covering departures from norms in terms of autobiographical memory dysfunction. A section on applications equips readers with essential information regarding the assessment and detection of autobiographical memory dysfunction in neurological and psychiatric populations. How such processes evolve over the lifespan, and how deviations from healthy memory function can be supported through novel rehabilitation practices are also covered.

  • Behavioral Biometrics and Artificial Intelligence for Neurodegenerative Diseases Assessment

    • 1st Edition
    • Vincenzo Dentamaro + 2 more
    • English
    Behavioral Biometrics and Artificial Intelligence for Neurodegenerative Diseases Assessment explores cutting-edge, non-invasive techniques for the early detection of neurodegenerative diseases. The book focuses on behavioral biometrics, which analyzes patterns in a person’s actions rather than directly measurable traits. By utilizing artificial intelligence methods—like machine learning and deep neural networks—it enables the observation of subtle changes in gait, handwriting, and speech. These advanced approaches offer promise for earlier and more accurate diagnosis, potentially improving outcomes for millions affected by conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases through timely intervention and personalized care.In addition to its core coverage, the book delves into the practical applications of wearable sensors and the use of everyday devices like smartphones and tablets in assessments. It provides comprehensive chapters on how these technologies can aid clinicians and researchers in monitoring disease progression outside traditional clinical settings.
