In this paper, we propose a method for combining convolutional neural networks and attention mechanism to improve the recognition performance of emotional stress from Electroencephalogram (EGG) signals. In the proposed method, EEG signals are decomposed into five frequency domains, and spatial information of EEG features is obtained by applying a convolutional neural network layer to each frequency domain. As a next step, salient frequency information is learned in each frequency band using a gate transformer-based attention mechanism, and complementary frequency information is further learned through inter-frequency mapping to reflect it in the final attention representation. Through an EEG stress recognition experiment involving a DEAP dataset and six subjects, we show that the proposed method is effective in improving EEG-based stress recognition performance compared to the existing methods.

With the exponential growth of medical image big data represented by high-resolution CT images(CTI), the high-resolution CTI data is of great importance for clinical research and diagnosis. The paper takes lung CTI as an example to study. Retrieving answer CTIs similar to the input one from the large-scale lung CTI database can effectively assist physicians to diagnose. Compared with the conventional content-based image retrieval(CBIR) methods, the CBIR for lung CTIs demands higher retrieval accuracy in both the contour shape and the internal details of the organ. In traditional supervised deep learning networks, the learning of the network relies on the labeling of CTIs which is a very time-consuming task. To address this issue, the paper proposes a Weakly Supervised Similarity Evaluation Network (WSSENet) for efficiently support similarity analysis of lung CTIs. We conducted extensive experiments to verify the effectiveness of the WSSENet based on which the CBIR is performed.
