Multiresolution Wavelet Transform and Detrended Fluctuation Analysis have been recently proven as excellent methods in the analysis of Heart Rate Variability, and in distinguishing between healthy subjects and patients with various…
An analysis of the RR-interval time series, $t_i$, is presented for the case in which the average time, $\bar{t}$, changes slowly. In particular, $\bar{t}$ and a short-time scale variability parameter, $V$, are simultaneously measured while…
We test whether the complexity of cardiac interbeat interval time series is simply a consequence of the wide range of scales characterizing human behavior, especially physical activity, by analyzing data taken from healthy adult subjects…
The knowledge of transitions between regular, laminar or chaotic behavior is essential to understand the underlying mechanisms behind complex systems. While several linear approaches are often insufficient to describe such processes, there…
Every sixth death in industrialised countries occurs because of cardiac arrhythmias like ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF). There is growing consensus that VT is associated with an unbroken spiral wave of…
Complex systems with tightly coadapted parts frequently appear in living systems and are difficult to account for through Darwinian evolution, that is random variation and natural selection, if the constituent parts are independently coded…
This paper presents a novel method for remote heart rate (HR) estimation. Recent studies have proved that blood pumping by the heart is highly correlated to the intense color of face pixels, and surprisingly can be utilized for remote HR…
A method is proposed to analyze the heartbeat waveform that can yield a reliable characterization of the structure after only a few pulses. The measure suggested is entropy index that is related to the one found effective in describing…
In recent years, due to the widespread use of internet videos, remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) has gained more and more attention in the fields of affective computing. Restoring blood volume pulse (BVP) signals from facial videos is a…
Bandt and Pompe introduced Permutation Entropy in 2002 for Time Series where equal values, xt1 = xt2, t1 = t2, were neglected and only inequalities between the xt were considered. Since then, this measure has been modified and extended, in…

The promising improvement in compression efficiency of Versatile Video Coding (VVC) compared to High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) comes at the cost of a non-negligible encoder side complexity. The largely increased complexity overhead is…
Cardiac alternans, a beat-to-beat alternation in action potential duration (at the cellular level) or in ECG morphology (at the whole heart level), is a marker of ventricular fibrillation, a fatal heart rhythm that kills hundreds of…
Aim: to evaluate the ability of the nonlinear 24-HRV as a predictor of MI using Machine Learning Methods: The sample was composed of 218 patients divided into two groups (Healthy, n=128; MI n=90). The sample dataset is part of the…
The heart rate variability (HRV) in diabetic human subjects, has been analyzed using lagged Poincar\'{e} plot, auto-correlation and the detrended fluctuation analysis methods. The parameters $SD1$, and $SD12 (= SD1/SD2)$ for Poincar\'{e}…
The problem of neural coding is to understand how sequences of action potentials (spikes) are related to sensory stimuli, motor outputs, or (ultimately) thoughts and intentions. One clear question is whether the same coding rules are used…

Many works in biomedical computer science research use machine learning techniques to give accurate results. However, these techniques may not be feasible for real-time analysis of data pulled from live hospital feeds. In this project,…
We propose an analysis of heart rate marathon runners implemented by computing a multifractal spectrum based on p-exponents. We draw physiological conclusions about their performance. Finally, we link this analysis with the disturbances of…
Motion behaviors of a rigid body can be characterized by a 6-dimensional motion trajectory, which contains position vectors of a reference point on the rigid body and rotations of this rigid body over time. This paper devises a Rotation and…
