My thesis project for the B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering is focused on the study of the pathological deflection in intracardiac electrograms acquired in patients affected by post-ischaemic ventricular tachycardia. This objective will be pursued using the signals acquired during electroanatomical mapping procedures by the group of Graziana Viola (MD EP staff at Santissima Annunziata Hospital in Sassari) and leveraging on deep learning techniques.

My thesis project for the B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering is focused on the development and test of an experimental protocol for studying binocular movements during both active motor training and passive motor training involving moving visual stimuli. The goal is to evaluate and compare the role of the eyes during these two different upper limb movement experiences.

My thesis project for the B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering is focused on the study, development, and benchmarking of solutions for acoustic startle reflex detection and analysis in humans. By exploiting previous experiences and commercial tools, I’ll try to propose novel solutions in order to reduce noise and improve the quality of recordings.

My thesis project for the B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering is focused on the study of Heart Rate Variability, computed through a novel statistical approach such as the Point Process, in subjects affected by REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD). The goal is to assess the presence of a significant statistical difference between these subjects, a control group, and a group of patients affected by both RBD and Parkinson’s disease, across different sleep stages.

My thesis project for the B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering is focused on the decoding of the neural signals from the peripheral nervous system for the control of motor neuroprostheses. To this aim, I’m using real signals acquired through an intraneural interface implanted in a trans-radial amputee during the NEBIAS European Project, and I’m going to apply advanced machine learning tools.
Alessandra Piras
Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Cagliari
My thesis project for the B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering is focused on the development of a recording setup based on off-the-shelf polygraphs for the study of post-mortem physiological parameters change. The data collected will be studied to define models for the time of death estimation.
Nicola Loi
Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Cagliari
My thesis project for the B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering is focused on the study of a real dataset of electrophysiological signals for non-invasive fetal ECG, acquired in different gestational epochs on the same pregnant woman. State-of-the-art algorithms will be fine-tuned for this purpose and compared.
