Evangelia Micheli-Tzanakou
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Evangelia Micheli-Tzanakou is a professor of biomedical engineering and the Director of Computational Intelligence Laboratories at Rutgers University. Dr. Micheli-Tzanakou is also a Founding Fellow of The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and a Fellow of the New Jersey Academy of Medicine.[1] Dr. Micheli-Tzanakou's areas of interest include neural networks, information processing in the brain, image and signal processing applied to biomedicine, telemedicine, mammography, hearing aids and electronic equivalents of neurons.[2] Dr. Evandelia Micheli-Tzanakou received international attention in 1974 when she established the first Brain to Computer Interface (BCI) using her algorithm ALOPEX. This method was used in the study of Parkinson´s Disease. The ALOPEX algorithm has also been applied toward signal processing, image processing, and pattern recognition.[3]
