Automatic report-based labelling of clinical EEGs for classifier training (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Western, D., Weber, T., Kandasamy, R., May, F., Taylor, S., Zhu, Y., & Canham, L. (2022). Automatic report-based labelling of clinical EEGs for classifier training. In 2021 IEEE Signal Processing in Medicine and Biology Symposium (SPMB). https://doi.org/10.1109/SPMB52430.2021.9672295

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
Webster, M., Western, D., Araiza-Illan, D., Dixon, C., Eder, K., Fisher, M., & Pipe, A. G. (2020). A corroborative approach to verification and validation of human–robot teams. International Journal of Robotics Research, 39(1), 73-99. https://doi.org/10.1177/0278364919883338

© 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
Western, D. G., Neild, S. A., Jones, R., & Davies-Smith, A. (2019). Personalised profiling to identify clinically relevant changes in tremor due to multiple sclerosis. BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making, 19, Article 162. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12911-019-0881-1

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
Reinecke, A., Filippini, N., Berna, C., Western, D. G., Hanson, B., Cooper, M. J., …Harmer, C. J. (2015). Effective emotion regulation strategies improve fMRI and ECG markers of psychopathology in panic disorder: Implications for psychological treatment action. Translational Psychiatry, 5(e673), 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1038/tp.2015.160

© 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
Western, D., Hanson, B., & Taggart, P. (2015). Measurement bias in activation-recovery intervals from unipolar electrograms. AJP - Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 308(4), H331-H338. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpheart.00478.2014

© 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.

Inverse dynamics modelling of upper-limb tremor, with cross-correlation analysis (2014)
Journal Article
Ketteringham, L. P., Jones, R. J., Neild, S. A., Davies-Smith, A. M., Western, D. G., & Hyde, R. A. (2014). Inverse dynamics modelling of upper-limb tremor, with cross-correlation analysis. Health Technology Letters, 1(2), 59-63. https://doi.org/10.1049/htl.2013.0030

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
Child, N., Hanson, B., Bishop, M., Rinaldi, C. A., Bostock, J., Western, D., …Taggart, P. (2014). Effect of mental challenge induced by movie clips on action potential duration in normal human subjects independent of heart rate. Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, 7(3), 518-523. https://doi.org/10.1161/CIRCEP.113.000909

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...
