EE 597: Communications and Signal Processing (CSP) Seminar
Time: 2-3 Thursdays, Location: 2222 Coover
,   Talk Schedule,       List of topics/papers for student talks

    We will try to have at least half the talks on Bio-Signal Processing, the  rest will be on other CSP topics. Also, we will try to have as many student talks as possible.

Bio-Signal Processing: There are a very large number of applications in bioengineering (includes medical image analysis, disease classification,  bioinformatics, ...) that use very standard tools from signal processing, statistics and systems theory, while there are many other problems which have lead to the development of new tools. We will focus on application of estimation and detection methods for this semester. The goal will be to understand both the method and the problem formulation of the application. Some of the very commonly used tools and their applications are:
