Biosignal Processing and Classification Using Computational Learning and Intelligence

Collaborator in the project “New alternatives of analysis and interpretation for functional optical neuroimage”. Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica Óptica y Electrónica. Puebla, Mexico. Main activity: First steps towards the design of an ontology for the analysis and experimentation in Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (OntoNIRS). This includes the computing of main possible terms from literature’s papers (based on n-grams extraction using Python), evaluation/reuse of available ontologies, and finally both the design of a preliminary taxonomy and the obtaining of preliminary rules of OntoNIRS.

Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica Óptica y Electrónica. Puebla, Mexico. Main activity: Developing a tool (in Java Core) for applying statistical tests to the obtained performances of automatic classifiers. Supervised by Dr. Luis Villaseñor-Pineda Jul–Dec 2005 Developer in the computing department. Grupo Inmobiliario Mesoamericano S.A. (GRIMSA). Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas. Main activity: Developing a tool (in Visual Fox-Pro) to record and query the state of the pipelines in the homes of Tuxtla Gutiérrez. Dr. Alejandro Torres-Garcia is a Research Project Collaborator at the Instituto Nacional de Astrofísica Óptica y Electrónica. Puebla, Mexico. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the same Institute. He is currently a research collaborator in the project “New alternatives of analysis and interpretation for functional optical neuroimage,” which has as its main objective developing the first steps towards the design of an ontology for the analysis and experimentation in Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (OntoNIRS). This includes the computing of main possible terms from the literature’s papers (based on n-grams extraction using Python), evaluation/reuse of available ontologies, and, finally, both the design of a preliminary taxonomy and the obtaining of preliminary rules of OntoNIRS.
