Investigator: Gejza Wimmer jr.   The research concerned the adherence to the prescribed treatment for patients with cardiovascular diseases and, in the case of selected publications, focusing on elderly patients. Based on real data, many potential factors influencing the re-initiation of treatment were examined and evaluated in a group of patients who discontinued previous treatment…

Investigators: R. Rosipal, N. Porubcová, Z. Rošťáková Mirror therapy is a new tool for the rehabilitation of damaged motor pathways and functions of patients after a stroke. It is based on visual feedback imitating the movement of the injured limb. In the study we have shown that mirror therapy is associated with prolonged changes in…

Investigators: E. Schulz, A. Stankewitz, V. Witkovsky, A.M. Winkler, I. Tracey One of the main objectives in pain research is to seek and clarify mechanisms to alleviate suffering. In cooperation with our partners, an experiment aimed at investigating the effectiveness of cognitive strategies for the attenuation of pain was conducted. Using the 7T fMRI, the…

(Investigators: A. Krakovská, M. Chvosteková, J. Jakubík) Causal analysis of large volumes of measured data is becoming a hot topic of research. Existing techniques have been shown to be insufficient and their non-critical use often leads to completely incorrect conclusions. We have been working intensively on this topic for several years. We test existing methods…

Investigator: I. Bajla Biologically inspired hierarchical temporal memory (HTM) is one of the successful deep intelligent networks. However, its disadvantage is that it cannot be used directly to solve the detection and recognition of objects in multi-object color images of a complex scene. The basic goal of our research was to find a way to…

(Investigators: A. Krakovská, J. Jakubík, M. Chvosteková) In cooperation with the Institute of Informatics of the ASCR in Prague, we focused on the detection of causal relationships between time series. The standard approach is the Granger causality test. In addition, we analyzed methods that estimate conditional mutual information between signals, or work with a degree…

Investigators: M. Teplan, I. Bajla, R. Rosipal) When monitoring patients with severe head injury, the so-called method is used in clinical practice. critical value of the intracranial pressure time course (VLT). Exceeding this threshold is evaluated as an alarm situation, on the basis of which the medical staff initiates an emergency procedure (protocol) to save…

(Investigators: A. Krakovská, F. Hanzely) The data that is the subject of causal analysis is often in the form of time series. In such cases, we usually reach for a standard Granger causality test. However, it is based on autoregressive models and can only be successfully used with stochastic, linearly interconnected systems. The method of…
