Deep learning for neurodegenerative disease diagnosis using image memorability

Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s are hard to detect early, when intervention helps most. This MOST-funded project investigated deep-learning-driven, automated diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases using image memorability, a measurable property of how well images are remembered.

Where it led

This was one of the lab’s first funded medical-AI projects at the University of Dhaka. The lab’s medical work has since grown into explainable AI for histological cancer detection, EEG-based rehabilitation and brain–computer interfaces, and bone-health assessment from X-rays.
