On September 29th 2023, Centre Fellows Dr. Leandro Junges and Dr. Daniel Galvis co-organised an N-CODE Hot Topic Workshop on “Low-resolution time series data analysis in neurotechnology”, at the Edgbaston Park Hotel in Birmingham.
The workshop aimed at bringing together quantitative scientists, clinicians, and representatives from industry to discuss technologies that facilitate community-based care of neurological disorders.
The workshop started with a series of presentations from stakeholders from different fields:
Prof. David Grayden, professor of neural engineering at the University of Melbourne – Australia, talking about “Epileptic seizure forecasting using mobile and wearable devices”;
Dr. Andrew Quinn, assistant professor in psychology at the University of Birmingham, talking about “Controlling for covariates and confounds when estimating EEG power spectra”;
Dr. Ali Asghar Zarei, data scientist at UNEEG medical, talking about “Unmasking hidden patterns: insights from ultra long-term subcutaneous EEG data”;
Prof. Christopher James, professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Warwick, talking about “Data driven techniques in extracting information from the EEG”.
The workshop concluded with participants being divided into groups for round-table discussions on relevant topics, pre-selected by the participants themselves. The topics included:
forecasting in brain disorders
wearable devices
machine learning
data quality assurance
stakeholder engagement and impact
