  1. PDF Deep Learning Models of Learning in the Brain

    This thesis considers deep learning theories of brain function, and in particular biologically plausible deep learning. The idea is to treat a standard deep network as a high-level model of a neural circuit (e.g., the visual stream), adding biological constraints to some clearly artificial features. Two big questions are possible. First,

  9. Deep learning-based brain tumour image segmentation and its extension

    The methods that have been developed in this thesis (i.e. CIFAR _PI_HIS _DT, SegNet_Max_DT and SegNet_GLCM_DT) are evaluated on two datasets: the first is the publicly available Multimodal Brain Tumour Image Segmentation Benchmark (BRATS) 2017 dataset, and the second is a clinical dataset.

  10. Thesis

    This thesis presents a generalized framework for the detection of lesions and segmentation of tumors in brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using fully convolutional neural networks (FCNs). The FCN framework is chosen due to its capacity to model multi-resolution context in the image domain and yield consistent semantic segmentation results.
