Design and validation of distributed EEG signal processing methods for a wearable network of galvanically independent recording units. KU Leuven

Alexander Bertrand
ESAT - STADIUS, Stadius Centre for Dynamical Systems, Signal Processing and Data Analytics

Innovation goals ---------------- #### General purpose: This project aims at developing wearable EEG through the use of a completely new measurement setup, namely a **wireless network of galvanically isolated EEG units**. This novel modular approach facilitates a flexible miniaturized design with multi-channel recordings at various positions on the scalp, but also requires new signal processing tools to analyze the EEG signals. To limit the ...

Scale-free passive acoustic localization using a wireless synchronized sensor network. University of Antwerp

Jan Steckel
Constrained Systems Lab (CoSys-Lab)
During this project we will develop a framework which allows passive localization of acoustic sources using a synchronized wireless sensor network. Synchronization of the wireless microphone array will be performed using a distributed synchronization scheme absent of a master time representation. The framework will support automatic calibration of the microphone array with minimal human intervention. The location estimate of the acoustic sources ...

A self-calibrating array for the acoustical monitoring of bats. University of Antwerp

Dieter Vanderelst
Engineering Management
Many bat species are being monitored by placing a sound triggered recorder in the field. Such recorders register the echolocation calls of passing bats over long periods of time. The current bat recorders suffer from a number of shortcomings. In this project, we address these by developing an array system consisting of independent recording devices instead of the single microphone recorders that are currently used. The aim of this project is to ...

A numerical evaluation of the interplay between the aerodynamics and acoustics of bat morphology. University of Antwerp

Herbert Peremans
Engineering Management
Bats have large external ears. Being flying animals, this is rather unique as birds do not have these appendages. Evolution must have altered the morphology of the bat's pinnae to find a suitable trade-off between better hearing (needing larger ears) and agile flight (needing smaller ears). In this project, we want to investigate, by using computational techniques, how evolution has reconciled conflicting requirements in bats from different ...
