Breathing and snoring sound analysis in sleep apnea. About 800,000 Australians suffer from the disease sleep Apnoea (OSA) which has snoring as its earliest symptom. We develop electronics and snore processing algorithms to classify snorers into OSA-positive and OSA-negative classes, based on advanced technology derived from speech recognition systems.
Robust signal processing theory for synthesis and analysis of spatial wavefields. This project will develop breakthrough signal processing techniques applied to wireless communication, defence and surveillance, entertainment systems, and acoustic imaging. The outcomes will produce new products. The project will also provide high quality research training for gifted postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers.
