Strategic Research

Data and Signal Processing Research Group (DSP)

The Data and Signal Processing Research Group is an emergent group recognized by the Catalan Government (Generalitat de Catalunya, ref. 2014SGR-55). The DSP group develops its research in the field of advanced signal processing, machine learning and gamification techniques in several areas, with special interest in biosignals, biometrics for health, mHealth and eHealth. In these areas our main objective is to improve early detection of cognitive diseases (Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson, essential tremor) using both direct (EEG, MRI) and indirect (speech, image, handwriting) measurements of brain activity, to develop new Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) for neurorehabilitation, and to integrate wareble devices to monitor/supervise human activities for medical applications through Internet of Things (IoT). The group is multidisciplinary and collaborates with other research groups, hospitals and enterprises (both national and international) in its projects.
