Returning for its third year, the School of Engineering at the Univeristy of Edinburgh, in collaboration with the Scottish Chapter of the IEEE Electron Devices Society present its Evening Exploration Lecture.
Work originally invented by Professor Harald Haas and his colleagues has been showcased by major industry at the IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC) between 21-25 May 2017 in Paris.
The School of Engineering is very pleased to announce that the RSE Young Academy of Scotland has just announced the appointment Philip Hands and Javier Escudero as new members. Many congratulations to Philip and Javier!
Because of the ageing population, the number of people with dementia will increase dramatically in the next years. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia and it is particularly difficult to diagnose. We need better ways to detect and monitor the changes that Alzheimer's disease causes in the brain. To achieve this, we will consider the electroencephalogram (EEG), an affordable piece of equipment that can be used outside hospitals to measure brain activity safely at several locations over the scalp (called "channels").
We will create new signal processing tools to analyse EEG brain networks based on tensor factorisations to inspect how the components of brain activity networks change with time.
