TITLE: The realism of computational intelligence in biomedical applications
Associate Professor Dr. Adel Ali Al-Jumaily
University of Technology, Sydney
Abstract:
The talk will introduce the problems associated with the biomedical applications based on computational intelligence and will emphasis on the realism of using computational intelligence and possible realistic machine learning. It will cover biosignal processing and pattern recognition; it will highlight on the EMG based driven systems. It will include a novel working myoelectric controller for a hand rehabilitation device that can deal with such issues. The proposed systems are based on computational intelligence techniques that included developing an accurate myoelectric pattern recognition which can work well in amputee and non-amputee subjects and enable amputees wearing powered prostheses to achieve functional mobility, and a novel classifier for acquiring practical, fast and powerful methods to classify finger movements using two EMG channels. It will also cover image pattern recognition for skin cancer and the realism approach.
Biography
Dr. Adel Al-Jumaily is Associate Professor in the University of Technology Sydney. He is holding a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (AI); His research area covers the fields Computational Intelligence, Bio- Mechatronics Systems, Health Technology and Biomedical, Vision based cancer diagnosing, and Bio-signal/ image pattern recognition.
Adel developed a new approach for Electromyogram (EMG) control of prosthetic devices for rehabilitation and contributed to signal/image processing, and computer vision. He has successfully developed many nature based algorithms to solve the bio-signal/ image pattern recognition problems, such as using swarm based fuzzy discriminate analysis and differential evolution based feature subset selection. Adel is serving as board editor member for a number of journals and as chair or technical committee member for more than 60 international conferences; He is now Editors-in-Chief of one journal and an Associate Editors-in-Chief of two Journals. He has a breadth of expertise covers a wide area of research and teaching for more 25 years. He is a senior member of IEEE and many other professional committees.
