Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Detecting Autism From Head Movements Using Kinesics(Assoc Computing Machinery, 2024-11-04) Gokmen, Muhittin; Sariyanidi, Evangelos; Yankowitz, Lisa; Zampella, Casey J.; Schultz, Robert T.; Tunc, BirkanHead movements play a crucial role in social interactions. The quantification of communicative movements such as nodding, shaking, orienting, and backchanneling is significant in behavioral and mental health research. However, automated localization of such head movements within videos remains challenging in computer vision due to their arbitrary start and end times, durations, and frequencies. In this work, we introduce a novel and efficient coding system for head movements, grounded in Birdwhistell's kinesics theory, to automatically identify basic head motion units such as nodding and shaking. Our approach first defines the smallest unit of head movement, termed kine, based on the anatomical constraints of the neck and head. We then quantify the location, magnitude, and duration of kines within each angular component of head movement. Through defining possible combinations of identified kines, we define a higher-level construct, kineme, which corresponds to basic head motion units such as nodding and shaking. We validate the proposed framework by predicting autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis from video recordings of interacting partners. We show that the multi-scale property of the proposed framework provides a significant advantage, as collapsing behavior across temporal scales reduces performance consistently. Finally, we incorporate another fundamental behavioral modality, namely speech, and show that distinguishing between speaking- and listening-time head movements significantly improves ASD classification performance.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 20Physicians’ Ethical Concerns About Artificial Intelligence in Medicine: a Qualitative Study: “the Final Decision Should Rest With a Human”(Frontiers Media SA, 2024-11-27) Kahraman, F.; Aktas, A.; Bayrakceken, S.; Çakar, T.; Tarcan, H.S.; Bayram, B.; Ulman, Y.I.Background/aim: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the capability of computational systems to perform tasks that require human-like cognitive functions, such as reasoning, learning, and decision-making. Unlike human intelligence, AI does not involve sentience or consciousness but focuses on data processing, pattern recognition, and prediction through algorithms and learned experiences. In healthcare including neuroscience, AI is valuable for improving prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, and surveillance. Methods: This qualitative study aimed to investigate the acceptability of AI in Medicine (AIIM) and to elucidate any technical and scientific, as well as social and ethical issues involved. Twenty-five doctors from various specialties were carefully interviewed regarding their views, experience, knowledge, and attitude toward AI in healthcare. Results: Content analysis confirmed the key ethical principles involved: confidentiality, beneficence, and non-maleficence. Honesty was the least invoked principle. A thematic analysis established four salient topic areas, i.e., advantages, risks, restrictions, and precautions. Alongside the advantages, there were many limitations and risks. The study revealed a perceived need for precautions to be embedded in healthcare policies to counter the risks discussed. These precautions need to be multi-dimensional. Conclusion: The authors conclude that AI should be rationally guided, function transparently, and produce impartial results. It should assist human healthcare professionals collaboratively. This kind of AI will permit fairer, more innovative healthcare which benefits patients and society whilst preserving human dignity. It can foster accuracy and precision in medical practice and reduce the workload by assisting physicians during clinical tasks. AIIM that functions transparently and respects the public interest can be an inspiring scientific innovation for humanity.

Employing functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS), the research examines the hemodynamic responses of participants while evaluating diverse credit offers. The study integrates fNIRS data with advanced AI algorithms, specifically Extreme Gradient Boosting, CatBoost, and Light Gradient Boosted Machine, to predict participants' credit decisions based on prefrontal cortex (PFC) activation patterns. Findings reveal distinctive PFC regions correlating with credit behaviors, including the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) associated with strategic decision-making, the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) linked to emotional valuations, and the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) reflecting brand integration and reward processing. Notably, the right dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) and the right vmPFC contribute to positive credit preferences. This interdisciplinary approach bridges neuroscience and finance, offering unprecedented insights into the neural mechanisms guiding financial choices. The study's predictive model holds promise for refining financial services and illuminating human financial behavior within the burgeoning field of neurofinance. The work exemplifies the potential of interdisciplinary research to enhance our understanding of human financial decision-making.
