摘要：Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a severe condition that affects the brain. PD causes huge problems in humans such as shaking and stiffness that become worse over time. Early diagnosis and prognosis of PD results in effective and personalised treatment, reduced care costs and better quality of life. In this talk, first of all, Zhou introduces fundamental knowledge about PD and the technologies used for PD identification. This talk is divided into two streams, animal mice- and human-based PD identification. Afterwards, Zhou reports how his research group deal with immersive challenges such as single and multiple mice detection and tracking, single and multiple mice behaviour recognition, and social behaviour analysis using new video analytics technologies developed within the team. Zhou presents the machine learning techniques used to distinguish between normal and PD mice through social behaviour analysis. Zhou also shows the artificial intelligence methods developed within his team for biomarker analysis. Finally, conclusions are given to summarise the talk.
