ID 2370: Freeze of Gait detection in patients with Parkinson’s disease

Project This research aims to investigate the IMU signals recorded during the Freeze of Gait events in patients with Parkinson's disease. Freezing of gait, a common symptom of Parkinson’s disease, presents as sporadic episodes in which an individual’s feet suddenly feel stuck to the ground. Iner...

ID 2372: Investigation of Motives and Motivation in Running

Bachelor's Thesis / Master's Thesis / Research Internship / Project Running has become an increasingly popular way to become physically active and to support psychological health. Previous research indicates, that even individual sports like running are socially influenced. It has been shown, that ...

ID 2369: Incremental Learning for motor control in neuromusculoskeletal models

The exact function of the cerebellum during motor learning is a topic of ongoing research. One hypothesis describes the role of the cerebellum as a forward model whose main functions are sensorimotor prediction and error processing. It generates a prediction of the intended movement outcome based o...

ID 2367: iOS App Development for “CARWatch – An Open-Source Framework for Improving Cortisol Awakening Response Sampling”

Implementation / Master's Project Many studies investigating the cortisol awakening response (CAR) suffer from a lack of precise and objective methods for assessing the awakening and saliva sampling times. Failure to correctly report times or to adhere to the study protocol, which is common in unsu...

ID 2365: Deep Reinforcement Learning for Musculoskeletal Models

The goal of this thesis is to find a controller that can reproduce realistic and robust standing / walking behaviour of a neuromusculoskeletal model based on physiological feedback. In a first step, this should be done using imitation learning from data that we recorded in a previous study. If that ...

ID 2364: Position-Dependent Standardization of Fetal ECG for Detection of Congenital Heart Defects

Research Internship / Project / Master's Thesis Congenital heart defects (CHD) affect around 1.1% of newborns in Germany. The non-invasive fetal ECG is a promising technology for prenatal detection of CHD. It offers a safe and effective way to assess the cardiac health of a baby before birth. Howev...

ID 2363: Smartwatch-Enhanced Pregnancy Monitoring: ECG Analysis for Gestational Age Estimation

Master's Thesis / Research Internship / Project Pregnancy is a multifaceted process marked by physiological changes in the female body. Electrocardiogram (ECG) patterns also evolve during pregnancy, adapting to the demands of this transformative phase. With modern smartwatches, wrist-worn ECG monit...

ID 2362: AI-driven biomechanical golf swing analysis

Master's Thesis / Research Internship / Student Assistant The golf swing is arguably one of the most complex whole-body movements in sports . It requires significant physiological effort and precise neuromuscular control to accelerate the clubhead to more than 160 km/h in one-fifth of a second . Th...

ID 2361: AI-driven coaching for golf swing improvement

ID 2359: Ubiquitous Investigation of Overall State of Health based on Palliative Care Patients’ Toothbrushing Behavior

Master's thesis/Bachelor's thesis/Project Background A major issue in modern palliative medicine is the lack of objective and continuous assessment of the health status of patients. This status can be classified by measurement tools such as the Karnofsky index or ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology...
