Über uns

This group is for researchers, experts, and anyone interested in computational medicine or would like to enter this field. We will invite expert speakers to speak about their research and recent advancements in the field.

What is computational medicine? Computational Medicine aims to advance healthcare by developing computational models of disease, personalizing these models using data from patients, and applying these models to improve the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

This Meetup is sponsored by Machine Medicine Technologies, the leading provider of computer vision-based motor assessment software for movement disorders.

Mi., 22. Mai 2024, 18:00 BSTComputational Medicine Meetup

Machine Medicine Technologies, London

Computational Medicine Meetup is a gathering of tech enthusiasts and healthcare professionals eager to explore the the latest developments in computational medicine, neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence.

Spaces are limited. Book your free tickets in advance and join us on Wednesday, 22nd of May at 6pm for a day filled with insightful talks and networking opportunities.

At the upcoming meetup, we will focus on the fusion of neuroscience and technology, exploring latest approaches to analysing brain's electrical data and the impact of Deep Brain Stimulation on sleep patterns.

Our distinguished speakers, Dr Conor Houghton and Dr Joram van Rheede, will lead discussions aimed at bridging the knowledge gap across various disciplines, fostering a deeper understanding and collaboration among medical professionals, neuroscientists, and tech experts. Don't miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and share insights on the forefront of computational medicine.

Agenda:
6pm - 6:30pm Mingle & Snacks
6:30pm - 8.15pm Speakers and Q&A, with a break in between
8.15pm - 9pm Mingle & Dinner

Speaker:
Dr Conor Houghton
Conor is an associate professor in computer science and reader in mathematical neuroscience at University of Bristol. He is principally focused on mathematical and computational approaches to neuroscience and, in particular, on models of mood and movement and on computational approaches to neurolinguistics.
Dr Houghton will uncover the topic 'Brainwaves to Breakthroughs: Navigating EEG's Data Analysis in Cognitive and Medical Fields'. Electroencephalography is a convenient approach to measuring neural activity, it is relatively cheap, temporally precise and completely non-invasive. However, the data it produces is very noisy, both because the signal is very weak and because the measurement mixes together lots of different neural activities, from day dreaming to low level activity serving the brain's more mundane tasks. This means that although it is an important diagnostic tool for epilepsy, it is less often used for more cognitive tasks. Conor will discuss how this may be changing as new approaches to data analysis become available.
