Research


The BSP lab has many research projects underway. Summaries of these projects are given below. Please see our publications for a more complete account of the work that we have done and especially our prior work.

Ambulatory Monitoring of Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's disease afflicts well over 500,000 americans and over 4 million world wide. We are investigating new methods for ambulatory monitoring of Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders.

Cardiovascular Dynamics of Intracranical Pressure for Traumatic Brain Injury

We have several projects that relate to advancing our knowledge of cardiovascular dynamics as it relates to intracranial pressure in children with traumatic brain injury.

Microelectrode Analysis

We are analyzing microelectorde recordings (MER) acquired from patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET) during stereotactic surgery to help localize critical structures and improve this type of therapy.

Frequency Tracking

We have many applications that contain quasi-periodic non-sinusoidal signals with time-varying amplitudes. We are investigating new approaches to these problems based on the latest methods for state space estimation.
