Anatole Lé\;cuyer is senior researcher and head of Hybrid team at Inria (Rennes\, France)\, the French National Insti tute for Research in Computer Science and Control\, that he joined in 2002 . His main research interests are in the field of Virtual Reality\, and mo re specifically on 3D User Interfaces\, Haptic Feedback\, 3D Visual Displa ys\, and Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI). He has been involved often as co ordinator or principal investigator in various National or International r esearch projects such as in OpenViBE software for Brain-Computer Interface s\, French ANR projects &ldquo\;OpenViBE1&rdquo\; (05-09) and &ldquo\;Open ViBE2&rdquo\; (09-12) on Brain-Computer Interfaces and Virtual reality\, E uropean Strep project &ldquo\;NIW&rdquo\; (08-11) on Augmented Walking\, a nd the European Network of Excellence &ldquo\;INTUITION&rdquo\; (05-08) on Virtual Reality. He regularly serves as expert in Virtual Reality and BCI for public bodies such as European Commission (EC) or French National Res earch Agency (ANR). He is involved in program committees of major conferen ces of his field (IEEE VR\, IEEE 3DUI\, Eurohaptics\, Eurographics\, etc) and was notably program co-chair of IEEE VR 2021\, and IEEE 3DUI 2013. He is an associate editor of Frontiers in Virtual Environments and Presence\, and formerly of ACM Transactions on Applied Perception (ACM TAP) and Inte rnational Journal of Human-Computer Studies (IJHCS).

\n\nDinesh research interests are
related to medical applications of signals and image processing and the u
se of machine learning to classify medical signals. He is a member of the
expert panel for prosthetic hand control (EU supported committee) and memb
er on Therapeutic Goods Administration the advisory panel to ministry of h
ealth for medical devices. Dinesh has also extensive experience in technol
ogy translation and been successful with two technology start-up ventures.
\n
\nDinesh has received over $4 million in research funds over
the past 12 years in research funding. He has published over 400 papers a
nd authored 3 books\, and has been cited about 4400 times. He is Associate
editor for IEEE Transactions for neural systems and rehabilitation engine
ering.
\nAbst
ract \;
\nThere has been significant progress in medical
technology that provides early stage and detailed diagnosis of many disea
ses. This has enhanced the longevity and quality of life and we are now li
ving longer and healthier\, and significantly more independent. We are als
o able to perform relevant functional activities for significant period. H
owever\, many of these diagnostics can be performed only in major hospital
s and require significant infrastructure such as qualified personnel\, bui
ldings\, and electricity. This greatly limits the benefits of the technolo
gies to be located in large urban centres.
\n
\nDinesh has been
working towards changing the above paradigm and works for the development
of diagnostic devices that are suitable for being used in remote regions b
y untrained healthcare personnel. Such devices provide automation of recor
ding and analysis of the data\, thereby do not require large buildings\, a
nd are suitable for the target audience. The success of such diagnostic de
vices is based on the development of advanced image and signal processing
techniques that makes these devices noise tolerant and provide good qualit
y diagnostics without high quality infrastructure.
\n
\nThis sem
inar\, Dinesh will discuss the process and provide examples of such techno
logies.
