(Elsevier, 2024) Turk, Omer; Ozhan, Davut; Acar, Emrullah; Akinci, Tahir Cetin; Yilmaz, Musa; Türk, Ömer
Today, as in every life-threatening disease, early diagnosis of brain tumors plays a life-saving role. The brain tumor is formed by the transformation of brain cells from their normal structures into abnormal cell structures. These formed abnormal cells begin to form in masses in the brain regions. Nowadays, many different techniques are employed to detect these tumor masses, and the most common of these techniques is Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). In this study, it is aimed to automatically detect brain tumors with the help of ensemble deep learning architectures (ResNet50, VGG19, InceptionV3 and MobileNet) and Class Activation Maps (CAMs) indicators by employing MRI images. The proposed system was implemented in three stages. In the first stage, it was determined whether there was a tumor in the MR images Tumor) were detected from MR images (Multi-class Approach). In the last stage, CAMs of each tumor group were created as an alternative tool to facilitate the work of specialists in tumor detection. The results showed that the overall accuracy of the binary approach was calculated as 100% on the ResNet50, InceptionV3 and MobileNet architectures, and 99.71% on the VGG19 architecture. Moreover, the accuracy values of 96.45% with ResNet50, 93.40% with VGG19, 85.03% with InceptionV3 and 89.34% with MobileNet architectures were obtained in the multi-class approach.

(Springer, 2024) Can, Sermin; Türk, Ömer; Ayral, Muhammed; Kozan, Günay; Arı, Hamza; Akdağ, Mehmet; Yıldırım Baylan, Müzeyyen; Türk, Ömer
Introduction: We aimed to develop a diagnostic deep learning model using contrast-enhanced CT images and to investigate whether cervical lymphadenopathies can be diagnosed with these deep learning methods without radiologist interpretations and histopathological examinations. Material method: A total of 400 patients who underwent surgery for lymphadenopathy in the neck between 2010 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. They were examined in four groups of 100 patients: the granulomatous diseases group, the lymphoma group, the squamous cell tumor group, and the reactive hyperplasia group. The diagnoses of the patients were confirmed histopathologically. Two CT images from all the patients in each group were used in the study. The CT images were classified using ResNet50, NASNetMobile, and DenseNet121 architecture input. Results: The classification accuracies obtained with ResNet50, DenseNet121, and NASNetMobile were 92.5%, 90.62, and 87.5, respectively. Conclusion: Deep learning is a useful diagnostic tool in diagnosing cervical lymphadenopathy. In the near future, many diseases could be diagnosed with deep learning models without radiologist interpretations and invasive examinations such as histopathological examinations. However, further studies with much larger case series are needed to develop accurate deep-learning models.

(Wiley Online Library, 2021) Türk, Ömer; Türk, Ömer
In brain computer interface (BCI), many transformation methods are used whenprocessing electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Thus, the EEG can be represen-ted in different domains. However, designing an EEG-based BCI system withoutany transformation technique is a challenge. For this purpose, in this study, aBCI model is proposed without any transformation. The classification of cursordown and cursor up movements using the EEG signals received from the brain isaimed at in the proposed model. The EEG patterns were classified using twomethods. Firstly, EEG signals were classified by classic convolutional neural net-work (CNN). Secondly, proposed hybrid structure obtained the EEG features,which were classified by k-NN and SVM, using CNN. Classification with CNNarchitecture gave a result of 68.15% while the hybrid method using k-NN andSVM classifiers yielded 97.55% and 97.61% respectively. The hybrid proposedmethod were more successful than the studies in the literature.

(ASTM International, 2020) Türk, Ömer; Akpolat, Veysi; Varol, Sefer; Aluçlu, Mehmet Ufuk; Özerdem, Mehmet Siraç; Türk, Ömer
During the supervisory activities of the brain, the electrical activities of nerve cell clusters produce oscillations. These complex biopotential oscillations are called electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Certain diseases, such as epilepsy, can be detected by measuring these signals. Epilepsy is a disease that manifests itself as seizures. These seizures manifest themselves in different characteristics. These different characteristics divide epilepsy seizure types into two main groups: generalized and partial epilepsy. This study aimed to classify different types of epilepsy from EEG signals. For this purpose, a scalogram-based, deep learning approach has been developed. The utilized classification process had the following main steps: the scalogram images were obtained by using the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) method. So, a one-dimension EEG time series was converted to a two-dimensional time-frequency data set in order to extract more features. Then, the increased dimension data set (CWT scalogram images) was applied to the convolutional neural network (CNN) as input patterns for classifying the images. The EEG signals were taken from Dicle University, Neurology Clinic of Medical School. This data consisted of four classes: healthy brain waves, generalized preseizure, generalized seizure, and partial epilepsy brain waves. With the proposed method, the average accuracy performance of three of the EEG records' classes (healthy, generalized preseizure, and generalized seizure), and that of all four classes of EEG records were 90.16 % (± 0.20) and 84.66 % (± 0.48). According to these results, regarding the specific accuracy ratings of the recordings, the healthy EEG records scored 91.29 %, generalized epileptic seizure records were at 96.50 %, partial seizure EEG records scored 89.63 %, and the preseizure EEG records had a 90.44 % rating. The results of the proposed method were compared to the results of both similar studies and conventional methods. As a result, the performance of the proposed method was found to be acceptable.

(IEEE, 2017) Turk, Omer; Seker, Mesut; Akpolat, Veysi; Ozerdem, Mchmet Sirac; Türk, Ömer
The effects of mental activities on brain dynamics is the main field that studied for a long time, but the results of studies have not reached the desired level. The aim of present study was to classify the mental task EEG records by using Hjorth parameters. hi this study, EEG signals that recorded from 9 subjects were used. EEG signals were recorded by applying a experimental paradigm which contains five stimuli related to different mental task. These stimuli are defined as condition word mental subtraction spatial navigation right hand motor imagery and feet motor imagery Wavelet packet transform was used to obtain sub bands of EEC signals. Statistical parameters that consist of mobility, complexity and Mahalanobis distance were applied to sub-bands. Feature vectors were classified by using artificial neural network. When classification performances related to mental activities were examined, the best classification accuracy was obtained as nearly 80% for 'condition word - mental subtraction', ('spatial navigation feet motor imagery;' and 'spatial navigation - condition word'. The lowest classification accuracy was obtained for 'mental subtraction - right hand motor imagery,', 'condition word - right hand motor imagery' and 'spatial navigation right hand motor imagery'. The classification accuracies related to all stimuli that classifed among themselves were obtained as 77,61%.

(Concurrency Computation, 2021) Türk, Ömer; Özerdem, Mehmet Siraç; Türk, Ömer
Although brain-computer interfaces (BCI) progress rapidly, the desired success has not been achieved yet. One of these BCI is to detect emotional states in humans. An emotional state is a brain activity consisting of hormonal and mental reasons in the face of events. Emotions can be detected by electroencephalogram (EEG) signals due to these activities. Being able to detect the emotional state from EEG signals is important in terms of both time and cost. In this study, a method is proposed for the detection of the emotional state by using EEG signals. In the proposed method, we aim to classify EEG signals without any transform (Fourier transform, wavelet transform, etc.) or feature extraction method as a pre-processing. For this purpose, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are used as classifiers, together with SEED EEG dataset containing three different emotional (positive, negative, and neutral) states. The records used in the study were taken from 15 participants in three sessions. In the proposed method, raw channel-time EEG recordings are converted into 28 × 28 size pattern segments without pre-processing. The obtained patterns are then classified in the CNN. As a result of the classification, three emotion performance averages of all participants are found to be 88.84%. Based on the participants, the highest classification performance is 93.91%, while the lowest classification performance is 77.70%. Also, the average f-score is found to be 0.88 for positive emotion, 0.87 for negative emotion, and 0.89 for neutral emotion. Likewise, the average kappa value is 0.82 for positive emotion, 0.81 for negative emotion, and 0.83 for neutral emotion. The results of the method proposed in the study are compared with the results of similar studies in the literature. We conclude that the proposed method has an acceptable level of performance.

(Sage Publications inc, 2024) Metin, Baris; Uyulan, Caglar; Erguzel, Turker Tekin; Farhad, Shams; Cifci, Elvan; Turk, Omer; Tarhan, Nevzat; Türk, Ömer
Background: Bipolar disorder (BD) is a mental disorder characterized by depressive and manic or hypomanic episodes. The complexity in the diagnosis of Bipolar disorder (BD) due to its overlapping symptoms with other mood disorders prompted researchers and clinicians to seek new and advanced techniques for the precise detection of Bipolar disorder (BD). One of these methods is the use of advanced machine learning algorithms such as deep learning (DL). However, no study of BD has previously adopted DL techniques using EEG signals. Method: EEG signals of 169 BD patients and 45 controls were cleaned from the artifacts and processed using two different DL methods: a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) combined with the long-short term memory (LSTM) and a two-dimensional convolutional neural network (2D-CNN). Additionally, Class Activation Maps (CAMs) acquired from the bipolar and control groups were used to obtain distinctive regions to specify a particular class in an image. Results: Group identifications were confirmed with 95.91% overall accuracy through the 2D-CNN method, demonstrating very high sensitivity and lower specificity. Also, the overall accuracy obtained from the 1D-CNN + LSTM method was 93%. We also found that F4, C3, F7, and F8 electrode activities produce predominant features to detect the bipolar group. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this study used EEG-based DL analysis for the first time in BD. Our results suggest that the raw EEG-based DL algorithm can successfully differentiate individuals with BD from controls. Class Activation Map (CAM) analysis suggests that prefrontal changes are predominant in EEG data of patients with BD.

(Sage Publications inc, 2025) Metin, Sinem Zeynep; Uyulan, Caglar; Farhad, Shams; Erguzel, Tuerker Tekin; Turk, Omer; Metin, Baris; Tarhan, Nevzat; Türk, Ömer
Background: Although there are many treatment options available for depression, a large portion of patients with depression are diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), which is characterized by an inadequate response to antidepressant treatment. Identifying the TRD population is crucial in terms of saving time and resources in depression treatment. Recently several studies employed various methods on EEG datasets for automatic depression detection or treatment outcome prediction. However, no previous study has used the deep learning (DL) approach and EEG signals for detecting treatment resistance. Method: 77 patients with TRD, 43 patients with non-TRD, and 40 healthy controls were compared using GoogleNet convolutional neural network and DL on EEG data. Additionally, Class Activation Maps (CAMs) acquired from the TRD and non-TRD groups were used to obtain distinctive regions for classification. Results: GoogleNet classified the healthy controls and non-TRD group with 88.43%, the healthy controls and TRD subjects with 89.73%, and the TRD and non-TRD group with 90.05% accuracy. The external validation accuracy for the TRD-non-TRD classification was 73.33%. Finally, the CAM analysis revealed that the TRD group contained dominant features in class detection of deep learning architecture in almost all electrodes. Limitations: Our study is limited by the moderate sample size of clinical groups and the retrospective nature of the study. Conclusion: These findings suggest that EEG-based deep learning can be used to classify treatment resistance in depression and may in the future prove to be a useful tool in psychiatry practice to identify patients who need more vigorous intervention.

(IEEE, 2015) Turk, Omer; Ozerdem, Mehmet Sirac; Türk, Ömer
In this study, the changes of the power spectral density (PSD) in the EEG data during eyes-closed and eyes-open states were analyzed. In the analysis, the interval of dominant frequencies was roughly determined with different approaches. The EEG signal is separated into sub bands with wavelet transform (WT). The Welch method which is the one of the classical methods was used for PSD prediction and the Burg and Yule-Walker parametric methods were used also for PSD prediction of the EEG signal. It was observed that the alpha rhythm is dominant band in the eyes closed state compared to eyes open state.

(2020) Türk, Ömer; Türk, Ömer
Although detecting emotional states from brain dynamics is an issue that has been studied for a long time, the desired level has not been reached yet. In this study, Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) based Local Binary Pattern (LBP) method is proposed to determine emotional states using (positive-neutral-negative) Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. By using this method, a hybrid structure is created to obtain features from EEG signals. In the study, Seed EEG dataset including 15 positive subjects and positive-neutral-negative emotional state is used. In proposed method, a classification task is utilized with the basis of individuals by using 27 EEG channels from left hemisphere of each subject. Level 5 is separated by applying EMD to EEG segments that contain three emotional states. Features are obtained from the Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) using LBP method. These features are classified with k Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The average classification accuracy for 15 participants is 83.77% with k-NN classifier and 84.50% with the ANN classifier. Furthermore, the highest classification performance is found to be 96.75% with the k-NN classifier. The results obtained in the study support related studies in the literature.

(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Türk, Ömer; Aldemir, Erdoğan; Acar, Emrullah; Ertuğrul, Ömer Faruk; Türk, Ömer
Electroencephalogram is a low-cost, non-invasive, and high-entropy signal and thus has huge potential for clinical diagnosis of neurological diseases and brain–computer interface applications. Schizophrenia is one of the most severe diseases that show behavioral manifestations that are easily uncovered by specialists. In this context, the electroencephalogram analysis becomes more important for the automatic diagnosis of schizophrenia disease in the clinical process. In this study, a deep learning architecture, namely ResNet, aims to classify schizophrenia is proposed. The proposed system transforms wavelet sub-bands of the electroencephalogram into two-dimensional image space, which is considered the main unique contribution of the study. Thus, the disease indicators and features included in images could be figured out. Moreover, a discussion on the class activation maps was made to give a wide perspective on the features related to the disease. The proposed system was implemented on a large-scale electroencephalogram database containing records from unhealthy and healthy patients in various phases. The ResNet was implemented in three modes to give a thorough perspective in terms of the metrics of the diagnosis accuracy. The proposed system achieves 92.94% diagnosis accuracy rate, and the result shows that the proposed transformation-based solution is owing to the features related to schizophrenia disease

(TÜBİTAK, 2021) Acar, Emrullah; Türk, Ömer; Ertuğrul, Ömer Faruk; Aldemir, Erdoğan; Türk, Ömer
Various eye diseases affect the quality of human life severely and ultimately may result in complete vision loss. Ocular diseases manifest themselves through mostly visual indicators in the early or mature stages of the disease by showing abnormalities in optics disc, fovea, or other descriptive anatomical structures of the eye. Cataract is among the most harmful diseases that affects millions of people and the leading cause of public vision impairment. It shows major visual symptoms that can be employed for early detection before the hypermature stage. Automatic diagnosis systems intend to assist ophthalmological experts by mitigating the burden of manual clinical decisions and on health care utilization. In this study, a diagnosis system based on color fundus images are addressed for cataract disease. Deep learning-based models were performed for the automatic identification of cataract diseases. Two pretrained robust architectures, namely VGGNet and DenseNet, were employed to detect abnormalities in descriptive parts of the human eye. The proposed system is implemented on a wide and unique dataset that includes diverse color retinal fundus images that are acquired comparatively in low-cost and common modality, which is considered a major contribution of the study. The dataset show symptoms of cataracts in different phases and represents the characteristics of the cataract. By the proposed system, dysfunction associated with cataracts could be identified in the early stage. The achievement of the proposed system is compared to various traditional and up-to-date classification systems. The proposed system achieves 97.94% diagnosis rate for cataract disease grading.
Epilepsy Detection by Using Scalogram Based Convolutional Neural Network from EEG Signals
(MDPI, 2019) Türk, Ömer; Özerdem, Mehmet Siraç; Türk, Ömer
The studies implemented with Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are progressing very rapidly and brain computer interfaces (BCI) and disease determinations are carried out at certain success rates thanks to new methods developed in this field. The effective use of these signals, especially in disease detection, is very important in terms of both time and cost. Currently, in general, EEG studies are used in addition to conventional methods as well as deep learning networks that have recently achieved great success. The most important reason for this is that in conventional methods, increasing classification accuracy is based on too many human efforts as EEG is being processed, obtaining the features is the most important step. This stage is based on both the time-consuming and the investigation of many feature methods. Therefore, there is a need for methods that do not require human effort in this area and can learn the features themselves. Based on that, two-dimensional (2D) frequency-time scalograms were obtained in this study by applying Continuous Wavelet Transform to EEG records containing five different classes. Convolutional Neural Network structure was used to learn the properties of these scalogram images and the classification performance of the structure was compared with the studies in the literature. In order to compare the performance of the proposed method, the data set of the University of Bonn was used. The data set consists of five EEG records containing healthy and epilepsy disease which are labeled as A, B, C, D, and E. In the study, A-E and B-E data sets were classified as 99.50%, A-D and B-D data sets were classified as 100% in binary classifications, A-D-E data sets were 99.00% in triple classification, A-C-D-E data sets were 90.50%, B-C-D-E data sets were 91.50% in quaternary classification, and A-B-C-D-E data sets were in the fifth class classification with an accuracy of 93.60%.

FPGA simulation of chaotic tent map-based S-Box design
(Wiley Online Library, 2022) Türk, Ömer; Türk, Ömer
The chaotic system has a characteristically random behavior by nature, and these systems have their own characteristics in a completely deterministic structure. This feature of a chaotic system makes it difficult to predict encryptions designed based on such a system. Thanks to this unpredictable and strong feature, maps produced from chaotic systems are an important alternative in the field of encryption. One of the structures obtained by employing chaotic maps is the substitution box. S-Box, which provides the confusion principle used in block ciphers, is the main block that dynamically replaces unencrypted data with confidential data and makes a significant contribution to ensuring high security in the encryption system. Therefore, S-Boxes hold a critical role in block ciphers. Speed and reliability are important parameters in the creation of this main block. Especially, applications performed on hardware are more reliable and high performance. Therefore, in this study, an S-Box was designed using fieldprogrammable gate arrays (FPGA) simulation from a chaotic tent map to create a fast and reliable S-Box because FPGAs offer solutions that may be important in this field considering their fast and customizable architecture. In the proposed method, the S-Box was created in 0.16 s. In addition, the dynamic properties of the chaotic tent map were analyzed with Lyapunov exponents, and the NIST SP 800-22 test was applied for the information encryption suitability of the proposed chaotic system. Also, to test the reliability of the produced S-Box structures, SAC, non-linearity, bit independence criteria, and input/output XOR distribution table metrics were implemented. The results showed that the proposed chaotic map was dynamic and passed the reliability tests successfully.

Cancer is a significant public health issue due to its high prevalence and lethality, particularly lung and colon cancers, which account for over a quarter of all cancer cases. This study aims to enhance the detection rate of lung and colon cancer by designing an automated diagnosis system. The system focuses on early detection through image pre-processing with a 2D Gaussian filter, while maintaining simplicity to minimize computational requirements and runtime. The study employs three Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models-MobileNet, VGG16, and ResNet50-to diagnose five types of cancer: Colon Adenocarcinoma, Benign Colonic Tissue, Lung Adenocarcinoma, Benign Lung Tissue, and Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma. A large dataset comprising 25 000 histopathological images is utilized. Additionally, the research addresses the need for safety levels in the model by using Class Activation Mapping (CAM) for explanatory purposes. Experimental results indicate that the proposed system achieves a high diagnostic accuracy of 99.38% for lung and colon cancers. This high performance underscores the effectiveness of the automated system in detecting these types of cancer. The findings from this study support the potential for early diagnosis of lung and colon cancers, which can facilitate timely therapeutic interventions and improve patient outcomes.

(ScienceDirect, 2023) Türk, Ömer; Şimşek Bağcı, Reyhan; Acar, Emrullah; Türk, Ömer
It is very important to determine the crops in the agricultural field in a short time and accurately. Thanks to the satellite images obtained from remote sensing sensors, information can be obtained on many subjects such as the detection and development of agricultural products and annual product forecasting. In this study, it is aimed to automatically detect agricultural crops (corn and cotton) by using Sentinel-1 and Landsat-8 satellite image indexes via a new deep learning approach (Deep Transformer Encoder). This work was carried out in several stages, respectively. In the first stage, a pilot area was determined to obtain Sentinel-1 and Landsat-8 satellite images of agricultural crops used in this study. In the second stage, the coordinates of 100 sample points from this pilot area were taken with the help of GPS and these coordinates were then transferred to Sentinel-1 and Landsat-8 satellite images. In the next step, reflection and backscattering values were obtained from the pixels of the satellite images corresponding to the sample points of these agricultural crops. While creating the data sets of satellite images, the months of June, July, August and September for the years 2016–2021, when the development and harvesting times of agricultural products are close to each other, were preferred. The image data set used in the study consists of a total of 434 images for Sentinel-1 satellite and a total of 693 images for Landsat-8. At the last stage, the datasets obtained from different satellite images were evaluated in three different categories for crop identification with the aid of Deep Transformer Encoder approach. These are: (1-) Crop identification with only Sentinel-1 dataset, (2-) Crop identification only with Landsat-8 dataset, (3-) Crop identification with both Sentinel-1 and Landsat-8 datasets. The results showed that 85%, 95% and 87.5% accuracy values were obtained from the band parameters of Sentinel-1 dataset, Landsat-8 dataset and Sentinel-1&Landsat-8 datasets, respectively
