The mission of the BSP lab is to advance the art and science of extracting clinically significant information from physiologic signals. The objectives for this research program are to:

1. Develop new methods of signal processing that extract useful information from physiologic signals.
2. Advance our knowledge of pathophysiology through the investigation of behavior manifest in physiologic signals.
3. Ground students with a solid foundation in statistics, signal processing, algorithm design, and algorithm assessment and provide them with the experience of knowledge discovery, application of rigorous research methodology, and dissemination of knowledge.
4. Contribute to the regional needs of Portland and Oregon.

We primarily focus on clinical projects in which the extracted information can help physicians or medical devices make better critical decisions and improve patient outcome. We collaborate closely with Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), located less than 2 miles from Portland State University.

The BSP lab is part of the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Portland State University. For more information about the lab or our research projects contact the lab director, Dr. James McNames.
