Pavel, Misha | POCL Director | 503.418.9314 | pavel@bme.ogi.edu |
| Misha Pavel interested in the analysis and modeling of complex behaviors of biological systems, including perceptual and cognitive information processing, pattern recognition, information fusion and decision making in both healthy and cognitively impaired individuals. His projects include application of mathematical modeling, statistical pattern recognition and information fusion in the area of Neural Engineering while addressing clinically relevant problems. The applications include developing and testing unobtrusive monitoring techniques to assess cognitive state of ambulatory individuals and ubiquitous computing technologies to support healthy aging and chronically ill patients. The unobtrusive approaches to assessment include the development of computer games and assessment of cognitive abilities from micro-behavioral analysis. A number of related projects are performed in collaboration with our industrial partners and the resulting systems are evaluated within our new Point-of-Care Laboratory. | ||||
