Key research themes

1. How are advanced machine learning and deep learning techniques transforming the analysis and classification of biomedical signals including EEG in neurological disorder detection?

This research dimension focuses on leveraging machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs), for automated extraction, classification, and prediction from biomedical signals such as EEG. It addresses key challenges like noise contamination, non-stationarity, and feature selection in neurological disorders (e.g., epilepsy, anxiety, stress). The significance lies in improving diagnostic accuracy for diseases like epilepsy, optimizing patient monitoring, and enabling automated, real-time analysis with high sensitivity and specificity.

2. What novel methodologies are being developed for noise removal, signal decomposition, and artifact correction in biomedical signals to improve clinical data quality and interpretation?

This theme investigates state-of-the-art approaches to mitigate noise and artifacts inherent in low-amplitude, non-stationary biomedical signals (e.g., EEG, ECG). Research efforts focus on adaptive/non-adaptive filtering, blind source separation, wavelet transforms, and multi-sensor integration paired with parallel computing architectures. These innovations address limitations of classical filtering methods and enable real-time, high-fidelity signal acquisition and processing, improving reliability for clinical diagnoses and brain-computer interface (BCI) applications.

This research trajectory explores the deployment of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), U-Net architectures, wavelet transform-based segmentation, and super-resolution frameworks focused on diverse medical imaging modalities such as MRI, CT, ultrasound, and TEM. The goal is to improve detection of pathologies, delineate anatomical structures accurately, reconstruct high-resolution images from low-quality inputs, and automate interpretation to facilitate rapid and reliable clinical decision-making.
