About the Author Iyad Obeid, PhD, is an associate professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Temple University with a secondary appointment in the Department of Bioengineering. His research interests include neural signal processing, biomedical signal processing, and medical instrumentation. His research in these fields has been funded by NIH, NSF, DARPA, and the US Army. Together with Dr. Picone, he is the co-founder of the Neural Engineering Data Consortium, whose goal is to provide large, well curated neural signal data to the biomedical research community. In addition to earlier work on brain machine interfaces, Dr. Obeid’s current research has expanded to include non-parametric unsupervised machine learning as well as concussion and injury assessment instrumentation built using commercial off the shelf sensors. Ivan Selesnick, PhD, is a professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. He received the BS, MEE, and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from Rice University, and joined Polytechnic University in 1997 (now NYU Tandon School of Engineering). He received an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship in 1997 and a National Science Foundation Career award in 1999. In 2003, he received the Jacobs Excellence in Education Award from Polytechnic University. Dr. Selesnick’s research interests are in signal and image processing, wavelet-based signal processing, sparsity techniques, and biomedical signal processing. He became an IEEE Fellow in 2016, and has been an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, IEEE Signal Processing Letters, IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, and IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging. Joseph Picone, PhD, is a professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Temple University, where he directs the Institute for Signal and Information Processing and is the Associate Director of the Neural Engineering Data Consortium. His primary expertise is in statistical modeling with application
