This preliminary investigation examined the predictive accuracy of six neuropsychological tests in a population of non-brain-injured African Americans. False positives were unacceptably high on five ...of the neuropsychological tests administered. These pilot data raise important questions about the utility of neuropsychological test norms with groups dissimilar in sociocultural background to the normative population. These findings are examined in terms of the relative merits of the race-homogenous and race-comparative paradigms and underscore the importance of conducting normative studies that involve ethnic minority populations.
An increase in the collection of physiological signals, whether done implicitly in wearable or IoT device or explicitly in experimental and laboratory environments, creates the need for development ...of smart systems and tools capable of data analysis with limited expert knowledge. Anomaly detection, specifically unsupervised anomaly detection can be used to design a tool or even as a tool to help remedy this issue. This paper will focus on how unsupervised anomaly detection can be utilized for the development of such systems. A systematic, robust, and customizable approach will be presented and preliminary results will be shown that open the door for future research and algorithm development.
