professional interest

- electrodiagnostic signal processing - author of four digital systems for medical diagnosis support in electrocardiography (ECG), two in electrooculography (ENG) one in electromiography (EMG) and one in electroencephalography (EEG).

- development of electronic equipment in application in medidal diagnostics: bedside and portable biopotentials recorders, teleacquisition using the radio wave wireles communication, recorders with adaptive adjustment of analog circuitry parameters, recorders with dedicated signal compression.

- transformations of multilead electrodiagnostic recordings, noise modelling an discrimination, decorrelation long- and short term prediction and wide range of time-frequency signal representation

- adaptive compression of the electrocardiograms with use of local signal properties and variability of local signal importance of segments automaticaly detected in the signal (head of the PSCSR grant No 8 T11E 00717), time-frequency plane coding and the irregular signal sampling.

- research on the rules of human perception of visual information. The manner in which the page or advert is scrutinized, attracting the observer attention to the particular regions have commercial aspect. The manner in which the image is viewed (e.g. RTG scan) depends on the experience gathered through the years and the interpretation skills - the pursuit of expert's eyeglobe may be useful in teaching the novices. Moreover, the expert's eyeglobe traces represent the methodology for accessing the most important information in the shortes time, therefore the scanpaths analysis provides information on the locations of the particularly important zones in the scene, as well as the quantitative estimation of their importance.
