In-home passive monitoring for medical applications
Recent years have witnessed a surge of in-home monitoring and sensing systems. They promise to change healthcare as we know it by continuously monitoring patients at home. Yet, despite all of the interest and effort that has gone into designing these systems, their capabilities are rudimentary and …

Motion Artifact Processing Techniques for Physiological Signals
… particularly those concerned with brain activity monitoring. This research primarily focuses on applying the techniques to functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and electroencephalography (EEG) data due to their high susceptibility to contamination by subject motion related artifact. Using …
