Research week in Budapest: Successful exchange with ELTE University
Last week, the Biosignal Processing working group from the Department of Medical Informatics was a guest at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) in Budapest. The aim of the visit was to intensify scientific exchange and plan joint research projects.
The week focused on numerous exciting lectures from both sides, which highlighted current research topics from biosignal processing and related areas. Among others, the following contributions were presented:
- Attila Ámon: Trainable wavelet transforms in ECG and PPG classification
- Varga Bálint: Continuous blood pressure estimation using AI
- Zsombor Boga: Multidimensional particle swarm optimization for brain tumor segmentation in MRI images
- Gergő Bognár: Deep Unfolded Variable Projection Networks for ECG analysis
- Dominika Darabos: Explainable spike detection on C-fiber microneurography data with weighted Hermite networks
- Tamás Dózsa: Adaptive continuous wavelet transform for efficient feature extraction
- Galiger Gergő: Sparse dictionary learning neural networks for ECG noise suppression
- Paul Gräve: EEG-based sleep analysis in the time-frequency domain
- Philip Hempel: “Tales of a Paramedic” - ECG in practice and adaptation of a 12-lead ECG-KI model to 1-lead smartwatches for the diagnosis of heart failure
- Péter Kovács: Introduction to the Modeling Lab
- Nicolai Spicher: ECG counterfactuals
- Tabea Steinbrinker: The Apple Watch in clinical studies
In addition to the intensive scientific exchange, the stay also offered the opportunity for a city tour and joint evenings with the Hungarian colleagues.
The week impressively demonstrated how closely the research interests of both groups are linked - and what potential there is for collaboration. A joint paper for the EMBC conference has already been produced and, thanks to the support of the DAAD, further activities are being planned.
A big thank you goes to our hosts at ELTE for the excellent organization. We look forward to seeing you again soon - ideally in Göttingen in the fall!
