</span><span class="">Research Theme: This project aims to explore how deep learning can be used to deal with multiscale multidimensional biomedical signals, and to evaluate the effectiveness of different learning algorithms in recognizing the signal patterns.
It will examine this problem by comparing with traditional algorithms and propose novel deep learning architectures with adversarial network (i.e. GAN) to explore discriminative power in a particular domain of biomedical signals (i.e. EMG, ECG, EEG).<br class="">
