METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MULTIMODAL NEUROLOGICAL EVALUATION

摘要

A method of building classifiers for neurological assessment is described. The method comprises the steps of extracting quantitative features from a plurality of clinical features, and selecting a subset of features from the extracted pool of features to construct binary classifiers. A device for performing point-of-care neurological assessment using clinical features is also described.

1. A method of building a classifier for assessment of a subject's neurological condition, comprising the steps of:
providing a processing device operatively connected to a memory device storing a reference database of clinical results collected from one or more neurocognitive and/or clinical symptoms assessments performed on a plurality of individuals in the presence or absence of brain abnormalities, the processing device comprising a processor configured to perform the steps of:
extracting quantitative features from the clinical results;storing the extracted features in a pool of selectable features;selecting a subset of features from the pool of selectable features;constructing a classifier using the subset of features; anddetermining classification accuracy of the classifier by using it to classify data records having a priori classification information.
