| 11:00 - 12:30 Seminar Medical Design Development Processes School COGNITIVE SCIENCES Abstract: Medical device product development needs to take into account a diverse set of disciplines to achieve a safe and successful product. This lecture reviews several of these disciplines with the objective of raising the awareness of safety throughout the product development life cycle. The objectives of the regulatory process and some of its mechanisms, on (safety) risk management and design controls, on the use of human factors and standards, and on the design of clinical studies will be discussed. Standards will be addressed in the context of achieving safety, quality and reliability.

Deep neural networks are shown to achieve human-level performance in these tasks, and explain the primate brain representation. On the other hand, object recognition under more challenging conditions (i.e. beyond the core recognition problem) is less characterized. One such example is object recognition under occlusion. It is unclear to what extent feedforward and recurrent processes contribute to object recognition under occlusion. Furthermore, ... |
