    Removing artefacts and periodically retraining improve performance of neural network-based seizure prediction models

    The development of seizure prediction models is often based on long-term scalp electroencephalograms (EEGs) since they capture brain electrical activity, are non-invasive, and come at a relatively low-cost. Ho...

    Unsupervised EEG preictal interval identification in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy

    Typical seizure prediction models aim at discriminating interictal brain activity from pre-seizure electrographic patterns. Given the lack of a preictal clinical definition, a fixed interval is widely used to ...

    EPIC: Annotated epileptic EEG independent components for artifact reduction

    Scalp electroencephalogram is a non-invasive multi-channel biosignal that records the brain’s electrical activity. It is highly susceptible to noise that might overshadow important data. Independent component ...

    Interpretable EEG seizure prediction using a multiobjective evolutionary algorithm

    Seizure prediction might be the solution to tackle the apparent unpredictability of seizures in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, which comprise about a third of all patients with epilepsy. Designing seiz...

    Heart rate variability analysis for the identification of the preictal interval in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy

    Electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings, lasting hours before epileptic seizures, have been studied in the search for evidence of the existence of a preictal interval that follows a normal ECG trace and precedes th...

    A personalized and evolutionary algorithm for interpretable EEG epilepsy seizure prediction

    Seizure prediction may improve the quality of life of patients suffering from drug-resistant epilepsy, which accounts for about 30% of the total epileptic patients. The pre-ictal period determination, characte...

    A Multi-feature Approach for Noise Detection in Lung Sounds

    During the acquisition of lung sounds, several sources of noise can interfere with the recordings. Therefore, the detection of noise present in lung sounds plays an important role in the correct diagnosis of s...

    Quantification and Modulation of Tremor in Rapid Upper Limb Movements

    Tremor is a manifestation of a variety of human neurodegenerative diseases, notably Parkinson’s disease (PD), a chronic disease that affects one in 100 people over age 60 years. Recent research indicates that ...
