Mindwatch: CML Presentations
CML Doctoral students (Fekri Azgomi, H and Amin, M.R) have had a live presentation at the National Science Foundation’s Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) Principal Investigators’ meeting regarding the MINDWATCH project.
CML Publications
- Rose contributed as an author of a book published by Frontiers in Neuroscience comprising multiple papers which mainly investigate deep brain stimulation (DBS).
- CML published several journal papers including IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, IEEE Access, Frontiers in neuroscienceand PLoS ONE. These research works involved seizure state tracking using Electroencephalography (EEG) Data, designing a closed-loop system for stress regulation using fuzzy logic control, closed- loop fuzzy energy regulation, and robust point-process Granger causality analysis.
- Three conference papers were published in the Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC) which characterize the cognitive arousal and performance states, and their relationship using non-invasive data such as skin conductance variation, Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) data, and reaction times.
CML Journal Publications
CML paper in IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering developed a new inference engine to obtain a sympathetic nervous system activation from raw electrodermal activity (EDA) recordings, overcoming previous challenges from earlier approaches. Read more
CML outlines new approach for management of Cushing’s disease. The published work in Frontiers in neuroscience presents a way to employ a wearable brain machine interface architecture to regulate one’s energy levels in hypercortisolism. In our proposed architecture, we infer one’s cognitive energy-related state using wearable devices and close the loop utilizing fuzzy control. Read more
CML Outreach
CML hosted 2021 Girls Engineering the Future Outreach in a virtual manner. CML also continued its public outreach work by posting videos onto its YouTube channel. The videos posted this year draw attention to senior design projects, class projects, and several others that are meant as brief tutorials for teaching concepts related to controls. The YouTube videos are part of CML’s broader effort of popularizing scientific research among the general public.
CML graduate students presented their research at The Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Conference. Their works mainly describe the music impacts on the cognitive arousal and performance during the memory tasks.
