Research Interests

Signal processing for brain signals from electrical transmissions of neural activity; Signal processing for cognition signals from mutually interacting physical stimuli of human perception; computational signal processing; artificial intelligence for signal processing; short-time and short-space signal processing.

Current Research

Dr. Nawab's current research is concerned with the exploration of novel algorithms, architectures and design environments for the processing and understanding of biosignals. This includes projects in auditory scene analysis, decomposition of indwelling and surface EMG signals, and wearable sensors for patient monitoring.
