Hearing Screening, Virtual Microscopy and Deep Brain Stimulation: Applications of Biomedical Signal Processing and Analysis
Speaker: Dr Andrew Bradley, CSSIP, ITEE
When: 2005-05-31 13:00:00
Venue: 78-420
Host: Prof. Stuart Crozier
Abstract:In this talk I will outline the rationale, goals and progress of
three projects concerned with the representation, processing and
analysis of various biomedical signals. The first project is aimed
at developing a quicker and more robust hearing screening test for
newborn infants based on the auditory brainstem response (ABR). The
second is aimed at developing an enhanced Virtual Microscope (VM)
system suitable for online learning, screening and diagnosis based
on ISO/IEC 15444 (JPEG 2000). The third is aimed at developing
techniques to assist neurosurgeons with the task of implanting deep
brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes in patients with Parkinsonùs
disease or essential tremor.
Biography:Andrew Bradley received his Ph.D. from The University of Queensland
in 1996. Since then he has completed a Post-doctoral Fellowship at
The University of Alberta, Canada, been a Senior Research Engineer
with Canon Information Systems Research Australia (CiSRA) and a
Senior Lecturer at The University of New South Wales. He has twice
been a visiting research fellow at BT Exact Technologies in the UK
and is an inventor of technology used in the JPEG2000 image
compression standard. He is currently a Senior Research Fellow with
the Cooperative Research Centre for Sensor Signal and Information
Processing (CSSIP) at The University of Queensland. He is a
Chartered Electrical Engineer and Senior Member of the IEEE.
