Alterations in EEG connectivity in healthy young adults provide an indicator of sleep depth
(2019-06-11)
Article
Open AccessCurrent sleep analyses have used electroencephalography (EEG) to establish sleep intensity through linear and nonlinear measures. Slow wave activity (SWA) and entropy are the most commonly used markers of sleep depth. The ... -

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 1999-11-08)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessLa enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) es la enfermedad crónica de los pulmones más común representando una causa importante de incapacidad y de muerte. La actividad respiratoria está definida en gran medida por ... -
Analysis of muscle load-sharing in patients with lateral epicondylitis during endurance isokinetic contractions using non-linear prediction
(2019-09-24)
Article
Open AccessThe aim of this paper is to analyze muscle load-sharing in patients with Lateral Epicondylitis during dynamic endurance contractions by means of non-linear prediction of surface EMG signals. The proposed non-linear ... -
An improved dynamic model for the respiratory response to exercise
(2018-02-07)
Article
Open AccessRespiratory system modeling has been extensively studied in steady-state conditions to simulate sleep disorders, to predict its behavior under ventilatory diseases or stimuli and to simulate its interaction with mechanical ... -
A novel spatial feature for the identification of motor tasks using high-density electromyography
(MDPI AG, 2017-07-08)
Article
Open AccessEstimation of neuromuscular intention using electromyography (EMG) and pattern recognition is still an open problem. One of the reasons is that the pattern-recognition approach is greatly influenced by temporal changes in ... -

A real-time method for decoding the neural drive to muscles using single-channel intra-muscular EMG recordings
(2017-09-01)
Article
Open AccessThe neural command from motor neurons to muscles — sometimes referred to as the neural drive to muscle — can be identified by decomposition of electromyographic (EMG) signals. This approach can be used for inferring the ... -
Assessment of the pharmacological effects of alprazolam on electroencephalography using connectivity indexes not affected by volume conduction
(2015)
Conference lecture
Open AccessElectroencephalographic analysis techniques have become a very useful tool to assess brain activity and interactions between cerebral regions, that is, the so-called cerebral connectivity analysis. The effects of some drugs ... -
