Past – Assessing Consciousness
Translational EEG Headsets
While the BIAPT lab typically uses a 128-channel electroencephalographic (EEG) system, we aim to eventually develop translational systems that can be used in clinical settings for the assessment of consciousness. To this end, we compared the data quality of four...
Event-Related Potentials
Auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) have often been used to assess the level of consciousness of behaviourally unresponsive individuals. In this set of research projects, we first published a retrospective commentary of the critical factors to be considered when...
Past – Biomusic
Nature Break
In this project, the BIAPT lab tested the feasibility of using the biomusic sensor to record data in a naturalistic environment. We partnered with Université dans la Nature to test the feasibility of using biomusic to record physiological interactions during a forest...
Mes émotions sont à fleur de peau
Signals of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) can be used to discriminate between discrete categories of emotions. To date, the most successful emotion classification algorithms have been user-dependent (e.g. trained and tested on data from the same user). While...
Interfacing Biomusic and Autism
The BIAPT lab saw potential for using biomusic in everyday situations with individuals on the neurological spectrum, such as those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Before interfacing biomusic technology with individuals with autism, we first determined the...
Past – Moving With and Tuning In
Moving With and Tuning In
This project was conceived and developed in response to a call from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research for proposals to develop interventions that improve the social inclusion of individuals with dementia and their caregivers. The overarching aim of this...
