Project description
Imagine a dancer starting their dance on stage, and automatically creating the music to accompany their movement through the signals their body produces. This project can explore the variety of biosignals that could be used (EMG, ECG, GSR, PPG, breathing, etc), design and build the electronics to collect, transmit and process the signals, as well as the software to analyse and create music from the signals. There is scope to focus on one or more components, such as biosensors, wireless data transmission, data reduction / feature extraction, signal-to-music conversion.
Supervisors research focus
My research is biomedical signal processing, particular focussed on the brain. Electroencephalography (EEG) allows us to measure brain waves with excellent temporal resolution, so we can see the rapid changes that happen as we think, experience and respond to the world around us. This gives us the chance to study a range of interests, such as disease diagnosis (differences in brains), and connectivity and consciousness (how the brain works as a whole). But there are many sources of noise to make this difficult. We have contributed substantially to artefact reduction algorithms, to enable exploration of high frequencies, or parts of the brain usually hidden by muscle artefact.
Note: You need to register interest in projects from different supervisors (not a number of projects with the one supervisor).
You must also contact each supervisor directly to discuss both the project details and your suitability to undertake the project.
