face
, expression analysis

The face conveys information about a person’s age, sex, background, and identity, what they are feeling, or thinking. Facial expression provides cues about emotion, intention, alertness, pain, personality, regulates interpersonal behavior, and communicates psychiatric and biomedical status among other functions. Not surprisingly, the face has been of keen interest to behavioral scientists.

The Human Sensing Lab develops real-time automatic systems for...

Parkinson's
, wearable technology

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) affects 7-10 million people worldwide. There is no cure – medication can only provide symptomatic relief – and costs associated with PD, including treatment, social security payments, and lost income from inabilty to work, is estimated to be nearly $25 billion per year in the United States alone.

We aim to lower costs by building a wearable system consisting of low-cost accelerometers to detect and quantitatively assess the...

ECG
, fatigue
, cardiac arrest

ECG based physiological event prediction is a project centered around the use of machine learning to detect and predict physiological events on a macro scale, from ECG readings. Objectives of this project are twofold. Initially, developing algorithms to predict a future cardiac arrest event from a live stream of ECG data. Next, detect and predict stress and fatigue from a live stream ECG data.

These algorithms will be trained in a weakly supervised...
