• Effect of bilingualism on the cognitive and neuroimaging features of behavioural-variant frontotemporal dementia

  Javierre Pueyo, Paula (2021-02-18)

  Current research suggests that modifiable lifestyle factors can enhance the “cognitive reserve” and protect against age related cognitive decline. Hence, bilingualism, which is thought to improve executive functions, has ...
• Correlation of speech/non-speech events with photo-plethysmographic (PPG) signal

  Cámbara Ruiz, Guillermo (2019-06)

  The use of photoplethysmogram signal (PPG) for heart monitoring is commonly found nowadays in smartphones and wrist wearables. Besides heart rate or sleep monitoring common usage, it has been proved that information from ...
• Impact of mechanical and fluid mechanisms in the development and severity of pulmonary hypertension

  Gonzalez Martin, Pablo (2021-02-16)

  Pulmonary hypertension (PH) has become a global health issue that presents multiple factors involved in its development. This complexity induces difficulties for diagnosis and monitoring, leading up to a 47% of imprecise ...
• Design of a wireless EMG simulator for the testing of EMG acquisition devices

  González Resina, Elisa (2021-02-16)

  Electromyographs (EMG) are records of the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles contraction. The shape of the EMG contains relevant information about the neuromuscular state of the muscle. EMG signals are obtained ...
