Topics

The aim of the International Conference "Biosignal 2010: Advanced technologies in Intensive Care and Sleep Medicine" is to bring together outstanding researchers and practitioners from the interdisciplinary area of biosignal analysis in intensive care and sleep medicine.

Experts from multiple areas of experience, including medicine, biology, engineering and physics, are invited to come to Berlin, interested in studying and using models and techniques inspired from or applied to biological systems.

The objective of the conference "Biosignal 2010" is focused on innovations in intensive care and sleep medicine.

The Scientific Program for contributed and invited presentations will include the following topics:

Physiological phenomenon for intensive care and/or sleep monitoring

(Physiological phenomenon, being now and potentially in future monitored for monitoring, instationary alterations in physiological processes, external and internal influences, role of diseases)

Detection, measurement and monitoring of physiological signals

(On-line interactive signal acquisition and processing, on-line patient monitoring, intelligent monitoring, ambulatory systems, wearable sensors and systems and other related topics)

Biosignal processing, pattern analysis, data fusion and interpretation

(Linear, nonlinear and nonstationary analysis, adaptive data processing, model based signal analysis, chaotic and fractal analysis, time-frequency and time scale analysis, independent component analysis, cluster analysis, genetic algorithms, neural net-Fuzzy analysis, data mining and prediction, integration of signals, applications to ECG, Heart Rate Variability, EEG, MEG, EMG, blood pressure, respiration signals analysis, evoked potentials, multimodality approaches in intensive care and/or sleep analysis and other related topics).

Mathematical modeling of experimental and clinical data

(Linear and nonlinear phenomena, complex systems, neural modeling and neural dynamics, modeling and control of cardiovascular and pulmonary systems, modeling of brain functions, perception and learning or other related topics).
