The IEEE-EMBS International Summer School on Advanced Data Analytics in Physiology is organized by the IEEE EMBS Technical Community on Biomedical Signal Processing and the IEEE EMBS Technical Community on Cardiopulmonary Systems and Physiology-based Engineering.

This unique program offers a comprehensive curriculum that covers both fundamental and advanced topics in physiological data analytics, including:

• Advanced Signal Processing: Techniques and methods for analyzing complex biomedical signals.
• Cardiopulmonary System Modeling: Understanding and simulating the dynamics of the cardiopulmonary system.
• Cardiovascular Signal Processing: Analysis and interpretation of cardiovascular mathematics for clinical and research applications.
• Neural Data Analysis: Exploring data-driven approaches to understand neural signals and brain activity.
• Brain-Heart Axis Modeling: Investigating the interactions between neural and cardiovascular systems. 
• Physiology-based Statistical Inference: Applying statistical methods to physiological data for robust conclusions.
• Multiscale and Complex System Network Modeling: Analyzing physiological systems across different scales and understanding their interconnections.

The Summer School is designed for graduate and PhD students, as well as post-doc researchers and professionals seeking to enhance their expertise in biomedical data analytics and physiological modeling, offering a blend of theoretical insights and practical applications.

Students interested in obtaining the 5 ECTS credits are required to agree with the Summer School coordinator on a Project Work topic, and then submit their written report no later than 30 June 2025 (pdf submission by email to Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots.
