Research interests are currently focused on the robust
control of unmanned, underwater vehicles and on the
development and application of signal processing techniques
for biomedical systems analysis. Particular interests
include: functional electrical stimulation for paraplegic
cycling, efficient estimation of auditory evoked potentials
for assessment of hearing and of depth of anaesthesia,
cerebral hydrodynamic modelling and noninvasive assessment
of intracranial complicance, and processing of fluoroscopic
images for measurement of spine kinematics.
Currently Prof Allen is:
Editor-in-Chief of the journal Medical Engineering and Physics (http://www.elsevier.co.uk/)
Member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Musculoskeletal Research
Member of the Control Technical Advisory Committee (Institution of Mechanical Engineers)
Member of the Publications Committee (Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine)
Fellow of the Institution of Electrical Engineers, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine

David Simpson's research interests are in the processing and analysis of signals from human subjects,
in order to improve diagnostic methods in medicine, and increase the understanding of physiological systems.
Current specific interests are:
development of random signal analysis methods, including the use of computationally intensive statistical methods
the control system regulating blood flow to the brain (interaction between blood flow, blood pressure, carbon-dioxide levels, electroencephalogram [EEG], etc. )
the responses of heart-rate, blood pressure, blood flow etc. to seizures in neonates, and to stress in adults and children
the detection of responses in the EEG to auditory stimulation (auditory evoked potentials)
cross-disciplinary learning and teaching at the interface between engineering and medicine/life-sciences

My recent research has largely concerned auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) and includes the effect
of anaesthesia on AEPs, improved stimulation methods to acquire AEPs, techniques for objective
identification of AEPs and their use in investigating cochlear function. I am also interested
in methods for objective evaluation of hearing aids and the effects of mobile phones on hearing.

As a biomedical engineer I am interested in the advancement of the Engineering Profession in general,
and the Biomedical Engineering Profession specifically. My research centers
around the use of intelligent signal processing techniques
in the analysis of biomedical signals. In particular I am
interested in the analysis of the electromagnetic activity
recorded from the brain. The analysis techniques of choice
are sometimes referred to Computational Intelligence
techniques and include the self-organised discovery of
information from biomedical data using clustering techniques.
I have a particular interest in the use of Blind Source Separation techniques,
such Independent Component Analysis, in the analysis of
recordings of biomedical signals.

My research interests are in measurement and analysis of the electrical activity of muscles,
the electromyogram (EMG), underpins much of neuromuscular assessment and diagnosis in clinical
practice. My project is directed specifically at the surface EMG signal acquired during gait.
The surface EMG will be measured from major muscles in the legs by telemetric sensors. The aim
of my work is to extract key parameters from the complex EMG signal and to present the derived
information in the most appropriate form for clinicians. At present, my work is focused on the
simulation of surface EMG signal during gait cycle and the approaches to detect the timing of
muscle activation.
