Making Sense of Biosignals by Prof. Hugo Gamboa

Abstract

In this talk several types of biosignals will be covered explaining the challenges of collecting, processing, extracting information and making sense of the physiological dynamics.  The application of machine learning techniques to biosignals will also be covered to give a perspective on how to create automated decision mechanisms based on biosignals capture. During the several topics of the presentation, research examples conducted at Nova University of Lisbon in collaboration with PLUX and Fraunhofer Portugal will be given.
