The Biomedical Engineering Group (GIB) is a multidisciplinary research team associated with the University of Valladolid. It is mainly formed by Engineers and Medical Doctors specialized in various areas, such as neurophysiology, psychiatry and ophthalmology, that collaborate in different research projects.
The main objectives of this group are:
- Research and development of methods for the analysis of biomedical signals (EEG, computer-applied cognitive tests, MEG, EMG) to help in the diagnosis of different pathologies, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, schizophrenia and epilepsy.
- Research and development of eye fundus image analysis techniques to automatically detect characteristic clinical signs of diabetic retinopathy: hard exudates, cotton wool spots, hemorrhages and microaneurysms.
- Research and development and establishment of Telemedicine in Ophthalmology services: Tele-Ophthalmology.
- Rehabilitation Technologies: research and development of assistance systems for disabled people or people with speech and language impairments. Acquisition, processing and interpretation of biomedical signals for their application in control of mioelectric prostheses, domotic elements, communications and augmentative capacities. Implanted systems and functional electrostimulation.
