Here Biomedical Cybernetics refers to the classical definition of cybernetics as applied to biological and biomedical systems, that is, the technology-abstracted study of biological and biomedical systems and signals, and concepts such as the following, as applied to biological and biomedical systems and signals: systems theory, analysis, modelling, behaviour and control; data, signal and image acquisition, analysis and processing; study and extraction of information, pattern and intelligence; understanding of knowledge directed processes; decision-making processes; and the design and development of devices to achieve the above; and the application of digital technologies to medicine, healthcare and wellbeing. While the Centre for Biomedical Cybernetics has a number of ongoing research themes such as in brain signal analysis, biomedical imaging, wearable health-care devices, patient rehabilitation, ambient assisted and independent living, MRI studies, gait and motion analysis, interested candidates are encouraged to approach the Centre to discuss their interests as related to biomedical cybernetics.
