Background Adolescent girls with AN undergo high levels of stress, which has been shown as risk factor in the development of eating disorders. Widely examined autonomic indices for stress reactivity are heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV, R-R intervals (RRI) in electrocardiogram). T... Continue

Background A commonly known problem with accelerometers, inertial sensors or other measurement systems based on sensors attached to the skin are signal distortions or artefacts caused by vibration of the skin and soft tissues. To accurately measure acceleration/angular velocity during movement, ... Continue

Widely examined autonomic indices for stress reactivity are heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV, RR intervals (RRI) in electrocardiogram). The current stat... Continue

Background Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is an effective clinical treatment for movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease and is actively investigated for treatment of several neurological dysfunctions such as mood or memory disorders. However, the mechanisms of action between the applied e... Continue

Background Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) is an effective clinical treatment for many neurological disorders, including epilepsy, depression and pain. However, the mechanisms of action between the applied electric fields and the underlying neural circuits remain largely enigmatic, limiting both t... Continue

Background Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) is an effective clinical treatment for neuropathic pain and has recently demonstrated to target a wide variety of neurological functions. However, the mechanisms of action between the applied electric fields and the underlying neural circuits remain large... Continue

Motivation The challenges that schoolchildren confront daily have risen sharply in recent decades. The introduction of new and more complex content and individual learning differences, including prior progress and knowledge, lead to varying individual student learning rates. Furthermore, learnin... Continue

Nowadays the long-term monitoring of health human parameters can be achieved by using wearable devices. For most health monitoring applications, the position of the sensor on the body plays a major role and, if the sensor is not placed correctly, the wearable system performance can be seriously af... Continue

Motivation Although interest in personal health has risen in the population within the past years, it is often difficult for people to integrate dedicated routines into daily life. Existing solutions are mostly used by people who pay attention to their health anyway. Goals and Approaches W... Continue
