Eoin Thomas PhD

Biography:

I am a researcher with a background in electrical and electronic engineering and biomedical signal processing. My experience has primarily been with analysing and classifying EEG signals for neonatal seizure detection, ambulatory detection of epileptiform activity and, most recently, brain computer interfaces.
