Vagus nerve stimulation has emerged as a promising nonpharmacological intervention for a range of medical conditions. Invasive vagus nerve stimulation via implanted stimulators is employed as a noninvasive treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy, congestive heart failure, and major depression. Noninvasive application of electrical stimulation offers advantages such as reduced infection risk and enhanced usability. We aim to investigate the mechanisms underlying non-invasive so-called transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS) and optimize its clinical application using computational modeling.

Background Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) is a therapeutic approach utilized for a range of conditions, including pain and movement disorders. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the effects of SCS remain mysterious, making clinical decisions often reliant on a trial-and-error methodology....

In data mining, the relationship between variables is extracted from the association of events in a record. For example,  consider a shopping receipt as a record of acquired items and each item as an event. Therefore, data mining looks for the association of products that are usually purchased toget...

As people move through the building, they generate paths seen as activations of different sensors and actuators. Individually, a path can be described a sequence of events; each event corresponds to a significant change in the state or value of a sensor or actuator. As paths repeat and overlap, a su...

ACTLab Activities Office buildings take up to a year to be fully commissioned, and usually, only a subset of the installed capacities are deployed. The main goal of the project is to aid in the commissioning and management of smart office building with a high density of pervasive devices. We design...
