EEG-based sentiment & brain-state tracking (CNEL × Sony × LB3 dataset)

Pipeline that turns brain-wave recordings (EEG) into a small set of hidden time-series ‘states’ using a state-space model (Hierarchical Linear Dynamical System, HLDS), then evaluates those states for prediction and separability.

Zebrafish voltage imaging: event detection & interpretation

Pipeline for 2D voltage imaging videos that flags ‘events’ (fast, localized changes) using statistical detectors inspired by radar signal processing, producing maps and summaries for downstream analysis.

Ergo — EMG/EEG biosignal acquisition + dynamical systems

Ergo integrates biosignal hardware, feature extraction, and simulation to test how control systems move between stable and unstable regimes under cooperating vs. competing subjects and fatigue.

Why I care about state-space models for EEG

A quick note on using HLDS and related models to capture structure in EEG, instead of treating everything as i.i.d. features.
