Zwartveld, Stef (author)Subjective tinnitus is a sensation of sound without an external source. There is no clear understanding of the cause and pathology of tinnitus.<br/><br/>Literature suggests a combination of deafferentation of the tonotopic map , the Bayesian brain model, and the triple mode network, creating one combined hypothesis for tinnitus pathology. Based...master thesis 2024

LEI, Yuan (author)Acoustoelectric imaging is an emerging technology confirmed by in-vivo experiments that can help diagnose and evaluate peripheral nerve neuropathy. The ultrasound transmitter (TX) is required in such systems to selectively focus and apply acoustic pressure on the target volume. Within the ultrasound TX, the power amplifier (PA, commonly called...master thesis 2023

Verzijl, Hubald (author)<i>Neuropathic pain</i> (NP) affects approximately seven to ten percent of the general population. Seventeen percent of NP patients scored their life as “worse than death”. A myriad of causes may underlie NP, such as stroke or spinal cord injury. Also, damage or disease of the <i>peripheral nervous system</i> (PNS) may result in NP. One of the...master thesis 2021

van Rijn, Joey (author)Outstanding seizure detection algorithms using electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings have been developed over the past decade. These works mainly focus on best of class performance, which leads to computationally heavy solutions. This limits the applicability of these detection algorithms for hardware implementations such as fieldprogrammable...master thesis 2021

van der Velden, Joram (author)This work proposes an energy harvesting platform that is able to convert power from both DC sources (photo-voltaic cells and TEGs) as well as piezo element sources. It does so only using a single input channel to which a single harvester can be connected. The proposed system is able to differentiate between the two source...master thesis 2021
