Inhomogeneous Point-Process Models for Heartbeat Dynamics

This research activity is focused on

1) Developing Inhomogeneous Point-Process Models of human heartbeat dynamics

2) Extend the framework including nonlinear dynamics

3) Extend the framework including multivariate dynamics (e.g., respiration, blood pressure, etc.)

 

This activity is carried out in strict collaboration with Prof. Riccardo Barbieri (Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy, and Mass. General Hospital, Boston, USA), and Prof. Luca Citi (University of Essex, Colchester, UK)
