Artificial intelligence has achieved 98% success in the preliminary diagnosis of patients diagnosed with OCD and BIPOLAR disease.
Prof. Nevzat Tarhan discussed the role of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in Addiction in the session titled "Frontiers of Medical and Clinical Neurosciences" at the World Neurotalk 2024 Conference, which he attended as an invited speaker, and expressed that "Especially in the treatment of addiction, it is aimed to remove the alcohol or substance used from the body first, and then to reduce the desire and desire for these substances."
Prof. Türker Ergüzel noted that the neuroimaging (EEG and fMRI) data obtained at NPİSTANBUL Hospital for 26 years were analyzed in the application and research centers of Üsküdar University and the BraiNP/NP Model was created, and said that the model, in which deep learning algorithms were used, could predict the preliminary diagnosis of different psychiatric diseases and the TMS treatment response in diseases diagnosed with depression at the level of 98%.
President of Üsküdar University, Psychiatrist Prof. Nevzat Tarhan attended the "World Neurotalk 2024 Conference" held in Budapest on June 12-14, 2024, as an invited speaker and shared the studies carried out at Üsküdar University and NPİSTANBUL Hospital.
International event inviting distinguished researchers
The World Neurotalk Congress is an international event that focuses on basic research, advanced technology and clinical applications, which invites distinguished researchers who are experts in their fields. The congress, which provided an interdisciplinary platform and allowed research and achievements to be discussed, was held with the participation of experts who stand out in their fields and countries, such as neuroscientists, psychiatrists, neurologists and engineers, with more than 1000 participants from more than 50 countries and regions in the past years.
Prof. Nevzat Tarhan attended the congress with Üsküdar University Advisor to the Rector, Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences Software Engineering Department Lecturer Prof. Türker Tekin Ergüzel, and NPİSTANBUL Hospital and Üsküdar University Board Member M. Fırat Tarhan (M.Sc.).
Brain stimulation techniques address the role of TMS in addiction
In his presentation titled "What is the promise of neuromodulation treatment in addiction Psychiatry", Prof. Nevzat Tarhan discussed brain stimulation techniques, the role of Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in addiction, and shared his projection for current meta-analysis studies, new studies, unanswered questions and near future studies in the field of neuromodulation. In his presentation, Prof. Tarhan explained the applications of NPİSTANBUL Hospital neuromodulation center and gave brief information about photobiomodulation (PBM), which has just been used in Alzheimer's, Traumatic Brain Injury, Parkinson's, Autism, Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Long-covid treatments.
It improves cognitive ability by working like cellular "batteries"
Prof. Tarhan explained that "The Vielight Neuro™ product, which improves mitochondrial health by absorbing light energy in the Near Infra-Red (NIR) wavelength range, improves cognitive ability and increases cerebral blood flow by working like cellular 'batteries' that provide energy to carry out biochemical reactions and other cellular processes, contributes to innovative treatment processes."
Deep TMU reduces cravings in addiction
Sharing the application and working principle of Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), Prof. Tarhan stated that the purpose of this method is to stimulate deep brain regions with the TMU method. Especially in the treatment of addiction, it is aimed to remove the alcohol or substance used from the body first, and then to reduce the desire and desire for these substances. Tarhan shared the findings of recent studies revealing that deep TMU treatment reduces the desire of addiction patients to smoke, drink alcohol and use substances.
Prof. Tarhan also informed about the history of TMS applications in psychiatry since 1908 and rTMS human studies in substance addiction.
Sharing about the neurobiology of addiction and the parameters related to rTMS treatment in addiction, Prof. Nevzat Tarhan also informed the participants about the magnetic coils used.
NP-Model application, for which international patent application has been filed, was explained
After Prof. Nevzat Tarhan, Üsküdar University Advisor to the Rector, Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences (FENS) Software Engineering Department Lecturer Prof. Türker Tekin Ergüzel also made a presentation on the NP-Model application, for which Üsküdar University and NPİSTANBUL Hospital have applied for an international patent.
Pointing out that the neuroimaging (EEG and fMRI) data obtained at NPİSTANBUL Hospital for 26 years were analyzed in the application and research centers of Üsküdar University and the BraiNP/NP Model was created, Prof. Ergüzel said that the model, which uses deep learning algorithms, can predict the preliminary diagnosis of different psychiatric diseases and the TMS treatment response in diseases diagnosed with depression at the level of 98%.
Moreover, Prof. Ergüzel and his team, who simultaneously developed the prognostic interface, stated that they are about to add the recently developed facial emotion recognition model and the model that classifies between 7 different emotions to the interface.
It will be accessible to all users
Prof. Ergüzel also noted that the classification model will be made available to all users after the relevant article is published. Reminding that BraiNP was developed under the consultancy of Prof. Nevzat Tarhan and made available with a web interface at npmodel.com, Prof. Ergüzel said, "In its current form, BraiNP provides high accuracy of brain wave measurements at a rate of 98 percent with predictive models of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), healthy control, unipolar-bipolar and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMU) response in depression."
