Abstract

Novel algorithms are presented for data mining of time-series data and automated electroencephalogram (EEG)-based diagnosis of neurological and psychiatric disorders based on adroit integration of three different computing technologies and problem solving paradigms: neural networks, wavelets, and the chaos theory. Examples of the research performed by the author and his associates for automated diagnosis of epilepsy, the Alzheimer’s Disease, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are reviewed.

Biography

Hojjat Adeli received his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1976 at the age of 26. He is Professor of Civil, Environmental, and Geodetic Engineering, and by courtesy Professor of Biomedical Informatics, Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, and Neurology at The Ohio State University. He has authored over 550 publications including 15 books. He is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of international research journals Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure, now in 32nd year of publication, and Integrated Computer-Aided Engineering, now in 25th year of publication, and the Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Neural Systems. In 1998 he received the Distinguished Scholar Award from OSU, “in recognition of extraordinary accomplishment in research and scholarship”. In 2005, he was elected Distinguished Member, ASCE: “for wide-ranging, exceptional, and pioneering contributions to computing in civil engineering and extraordinary leadership in advancing the use of computing and information technologies in many engineering disciplines throughout the world.” In 2010 he was profiled as an Engineering Legend in the ASCE journal of Leadership and Management in Engineering, and Wiley established the Hojjat Adeli Award for Innovation in Computing. In 2011 World Scientific established the Hojjat Adeli Award for Outstanding Contributions in Neural Systems. He is a Fellow of IEEE, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Neurological Society, and American Institute for Medical and Biomedical Engineering. Among his numerous awards and honors are a special medal from Polish Neural Network Society, the Eduardo Renato Caianiello Award for Excellence in Scientific Research from the Italian Society of Neural Networks, the Omar Khayyam Research Excellence Award from Scientia Iranica, an Honorary Doctorate from Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, and corresponding member of the Spanish Royal Engineering Society.
