Scope and arbitration in machine learning clinical EEG classification (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A key task in clinical EEG interpretation is to classify a recording or session as normal or abnormal. In machine learning approaches to this task, recordings are typically divided into shorter windows for practical reasons, and these windows inherit...

Exploring the potential of a pronunciation guide app to support non-native speaking students in higher education (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Non-native speaking (NNS) students form an important part of the student population in the UK and many other countries’ higher education sectors. They face numerous additional challenges compared with their native speaking counterparts. Software to s...

Automatic report-based labelling of clinical EEGs for classifier training (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Machine learning classifiers for detection of abnormal clinical electroencephalography (EEG) signals have advanced signficantly in recent years, largely supported by the carefully curated Temple University Hospital Abnormal EEG Corpus (TUAB). Further... Read More about Automatic report-based labelling of clinical EEGs for classifier training.

A corroborative approach to verification and validation of human–robot teams (2019)
Journal Article

© The Author(s) 2019. We present an approach for the verification and validation (V&V) of robot assistants in the context of human–robot interactions, to demonstrate their trustworthiness through corroborative evidence of their safety and functional...

Personalised profiling to identify clinically relevant changes in tremor due to multiple sclerosis (2019)
Journal Article

Background: There is growing interest in sensor-based assessment of upper limb tremor in multiple sclerosis and other movement disorders. However, previously such assessments have not been found to offer any improvement over conventional clinical obs...

Effective emotion regulation strategies improve fMRI and ECG markers of psychopathology in panic disorder: Implications for psychological treatment action (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited. All rights reserved. Impairments in emotion regulation are thought to have a key role in the pathogenesis of anxiety disorders, but the neurobiological underpinnings contributing to vulnerability remain poorly und...

Measurement bias in activation-recovery intervals from unipolar electrograms (2015)
Journal Article

© the American Physiological Society. The activation-recovery interval (ARI) calculated from unipolar electrograms is regularly used as a convenient surrogate measure of local cardiac action potential durations (APD). This method enables important re... Read More about Measurement bias in activation-recovery intervals from unipolar electrograms.

Coverage-driven verification — An approach to verify code for robots that directly interact with humans (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015. Collaborative robots could transform several industries, such as manufacturing and healthcare, but they present a significant challenge to verification. The complex nature of their working environ...

Inverse dynamics modelling of upper-limb tremor, with cross-correlation analysis (2014)
Journal Article

A method to characterise upper-limb tremor using inverse dynamics modelling in combination with cross-correlation analyses is presented. A 15 degree-of-freedom inverse dynamics model is used to estimate the joint torques required to produce the measu...

Effect of mental challenge induced by movie clips on action potential duration in normal human subjects independent of heart rate (2014)
Journal Article

Background-Mental stress and emotion have long been associated with ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death in animal models and humans. The effect of mental challenge on ventricular action potential duration (APD) in conscious healthy humans has no...
