Wavelet representations of biomedical signals<\/h4>\n
\"Design<\/a>

Design of an optimal wavelet for a ECG signal from: Karel J.M.H., Peeters R.L.M., Westra R.L., S.A.P. Haddad and W.A. Serdijn, Multiwavelet Design for Cardiac Signal Processing, 28th IEEE EMBS Annual International Conference, 2006<\/p><\/div>\n

Current integrated light-weight and low-power sensor technology enable the high-resolution registration of various kinds of signals. These include biomedical relevant signals such as ECG, EEG, EMG, \u2026, commonly denoted as EXG signals.<\/p>\n

Our research in this area is focused, amongst others, on the analysis of biomedical systems and EXG signals in particular, with most notably aiming at detection and morphology. An example is the description of the morphology of the T-wave in ECG signals. Our approach consists of wavelet analysis of these signals, based on filterbanks employing (multi)wavelets that are optimized for the morphological characteristic of interest in the signal.<\/p>\n

\""Wavelet-sparsity<\/a>

“Wavelet-sparsity based regularization over time in the inverse problem of electrocardiography”, M.J.M. Cluitmans, J.M.H. Karel, P.G.A. Volders, R.L. Westra, R.L.M. Peeters, EMBC 2013<\/p><\/div>\n

The inverse problem of electrocardiography (ECGI) aims at reconstructing electrical heart-surface potentials from body-surface potentials. This problem is ill-posed, meaning that little variation in the starting data, for example due to measurement noise, yields enormous variations and erroneous reconstructions. In this research topic, we aim at obtaining regularized and validated solutions in human applications.<\/p>\n

Current research focusses on involving physiological characteristics and wavelet sparsity in order to regularize the reconstruction.<\/p>\n

The research is conducted in close cooperation with the department of cardiology of MUMC+.<\/p>\n

Time frequency representations and causality analysis<\/h4>\n

Does a time series measures on the epicardium exhibit a causal relationship with a simultaniously measured time series on the endocardium? Is a signal in a certain region in the brain the concequence of a signal in a different regin? Is this relationship within a frequency band or between different frequency bands? What is the relative change in frequency in a signal after a stimulus?<\/p>\n
