Presentation Title:

Neurophysiological Biomarkers in ADHD and autism and using machine learning algorithms to diagnose

Abstract

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) present distinct neurodevelopmental challenges, with underlying neural mechanisms that remain only partially understood. Traditional diagnostic methods, often cantered on behavioural assessments, may overlook the subtleties of neurophysiological dysfunctions inherent in these disorders. Recent research has illuminated specific neurophysiological biomarkers—patterns of brain activity observable through techniques like electroencephalography (EEG), event-related potentials (ERPs), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)—that offer a more direct window into the neural abnormalities associated with ADHD and ASD. These neurophysiological biomarkers provide critical insights into the atypical neural circuitry and connectivity patterns characteristic of ADHD and ASD. hold promise not only for enhancing diagnostic accuracy but also for understanding the neurobiological underpinnings of these disorders. By processing vast amounts of EEG, ERP, and fMRI data, and integrating them into computational models and machine learning algorithms, it can discern patterns indicative of neurodevelopmental anomalies, possibly offering a more objective and refined diagnostic tool. This presentation will delve into the latest advancements in neurophysiological research on ADHD and ASD. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the neural basis of these disorders and the innovative techniques poised to enhance diagnostic precision and personalized treatment strategies with today’s advancements.

Biography

Sana J Ghosheh completed her MSc in Clinical Neuroscience at the age of 21, from King’s College London, United Kingdom. Followed by a Diploma in Surgical Neurophysiology. She spans different neurological fields, from academia and research to clinical and surgical applications of neuroscience and neurophysiology. She’s a Neuroanatomy Lecturer, Healthcare Director at DARB Institute for Training and Research and Neurophysiologist at Ghosheh Medical and Surgical Complex. She previously presented conferences at the Board of Neurosurgeons in Ramallah, Palestine and discussed the advances of Alzheimer’s disease’s biomarkers in the West Bank. Driven by a deep commitment to innovation, she aims to transform not just the perception but the reality of what neuroscience can achieve in the Middle East. Her vision is to advance the field in ways that have a tangible impact on the lives of people across the region.
