Laboratory members and invited guests present current research during the LCP's weekly informal lunch meetings. Please send a note to Gari Clifford no later than the Friday before any meeting you would like to attend.
LCP research incorporates physiology, computer science, engineering, and applied mathematics. The group includes researchers with medical backgrounds, others with backgrounds in computer science, electrical engineering, physics, and mathematics, and others whose training spans several of these disciplines.
The LCP is one of four core laboratories of the National Institutes of Health's Research Resource for Complex Physiologic Signals, and is the home of the Resource's PhysioNet web site, the world's largest repository of freely available recorded physiologic signals, time series, and related open-source software for research. As part of our PhysioNet-related activities, and in cooperation with the annual IEEE-sponsored Computers in Cardiology conference, we also create and host a series of open challenges inviting participants to tackle clinically interesting problems that are unsolved or poorly solved.
A sampling of the group's interests includes:
We have a long-standing and active collaboration with the Margret and H.A. Rey Laboratory for Nonlinear Dynamics in Medicine at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, with which we conduct joint research in many of the areas listed above.
