The WavesLab will be present at Trieste Next 2026 in September, 25-27. Don't miss it out!
[Jul, 25th] Our paper "Learning from VAE Errors to support ECG-based Differential Diagnosis of Myocardial Scar" has been accepted at ECML PDKK, Workshop PharML. This is the first work of our collaboration with the Units Medical Department (Prof. I. Gandin) and the Cattinara Hospital of Trieste (Prof. MD M. Merlo and his team).
[Jul, 16th] Our former lab member, Dr. Alberto Zancanaro, gave a brief talk on AutoResearch on July, 16th at 10 am at MIGe Dept. in via Economo, 12/3 Trieste.
[Jul, 11th] The WavesLab welcomes Yusuf Üveyik, BSc student from the Marmara University of Istanbul (Turkey), as a visiting student from July, 14th to September, 30th!
We develop advanced methods for biosignal preprocessing, analysis, and modeling, with a focus on electroencephalography (EEG) and electrocardiography (ECG).
Our research also includes Brain–Computer Interfaces for movement control, computational neuroscience, clinical decision support, and neuromotor rehabilitation.
A central goal of the lab is to address data-quality issues and build machine learning models that are robust to the intrinsic variability of biological signals.
