The prediction of heart surface potentials using measurements from the body's surface is known as the inverse problem of electrocardiography. It is an ill-posed problem due to the multiple factors that affect the heart signal as it…
Recovering the transmission matrix of a disordered medium is a challenging problem in disordered photonics. Usually, its reconstruction relies on a complex inversion that aims at connecting a fully-controlled input to the deterministic…
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the gold standard for assessing cardiac function, but individual cardiac cycles complicate automatic temporal comparison or sub-phase analysis. Accurate cardiac keyframe detection can eliminate…
Reconstructing perceived images from human brain activity monitored by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is hard, especially for natural images. Existing methods often result in blurry and unintelligible reconstructions with low…
One of the hallmarks of active galactic nuclei are that they are highly variable with time. In watching the spectra vary it has been observed that the emission-lines often appear to "reverberate" -- that is they vary in response to…
Purpose: Conventional MRI is relying on the assumption of the magnetic field being homogeneous in direction and amplitude. However, with the growing interest in portable, affordable point-of-care MRI systems, these assumptions do not…

In this paper, we consider the problem of recovering random graph signals from nonlinear measurements. We formulate the maximum a-posteriori probability (MAP) estimator, which results in a nonconvex optimization problem. Conventional…
Block-sparse regularization is already well-known in active thermal imaging and is used for multiple measurement based inverse problems. The main bottleneck of this method is the choice of regularization parameters which differs for each…
Electroanatomical maps are a key tool in the diagnosis and treatment of atrial fibrillation. Current approaches focus on the activation times recorded. However, more information can be extracted from the available data. The fibers in…
Polynomial filtering can provide a highly effective means of computing all eigenvalues of a real symmetric (or complex Hermitian) matrix that are located in a given interval, anywhere in the spectrum. This paper describes a technique for…
