No próximo dia 29 de maio, quarta-feira, às 12:30, terá lugar no anfiteatro EA4 da Torre Norte uma nova sessão do DEEC Luncheon. Nesta sessão teremos a oportunidade de conhecer melhor o trabalho de investigação de dois dos mais recentes membros do corpo docente do DEEC, Catarina Barata e Sérgio Pequito.

"Integrating Human Knowledge and Values on Decision Systems for Healthcare", por Catarina Barata

Abstract: In this talk I will present my recent work on the enhancement of decision systems to achieve a better and more transparent interaction with humans. In particular, I will discuss how to train models that mimic human behavior and incorporate their feedback and preferences, following my publications on Nature Medicine and MICCAI.

"Advancing Neurostimulation: Real-Time Model-Based Control in Cyber-Neural Systems", por Sérgio Pequito

Abstract: This presentation introduces an approach to electrical neurostimulation for conditions like epilepsy and chronic pain, using real-time, closed-loop control with fractional-order systems. Unlike traditional static methods, our dynamic model-based strategy enhances the utilization of continuous neural data, improving prediction and adaptation to physiological changes. We employ model predictive control to increase robustness and adaptability. Validation results from in-silico studies demonstrate the potential of our method to advance the effectiveness of neurostimulation devices.
