Few-Shot Learning and Learnable Frontends for Remote Monitoring of Bird Populations
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2024)In response to changing ecological and environmental factors, automated monitoring of bird populations has become imperative for conservation efforts and as an indicator of change in its own right. This is particularly ... -
Flexibility in ad hoc networks
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2005)This thesis represents a step forward in our understanding of what flexibility, adaptability and reconfigurability means at the network-layer of mobile, wireless, ad hoc networks. Mobile, wireless, ad hoc networks are ... -
Flexo-elastic and electro-optical studies of some novel liquid crystalline systems
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2014)This thesis presents the experimental investigation of the material properties of liquid crystalline systems composed of (i) bent-core molecules, (ii) bimesogens composed of rod-like molecules and (iii) dimesogens composed ... -
Front-end analogue filter design for diagnostic electrocardiographic equipment
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2013)This thesis addresses the design of an analogue front-end filter for portable electrocardiographic equipment. The task of the filter is to eliminate as much out-of-band noise and interference as possible before the ... -
Handling transparency in digital video

High-level event detection in broadcast sports video
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2005)This thesis investigates semantic analysis of broadcast sports footage. A domain dependent sports video model is proposed. Under this model, the game semantics can be derived according to their relationship with the ... -
The impact of visual speech on neural processing of auditory speech
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2021)When we listen to someone speak, seeing their face can help us to understand them better, especially when there is background noise or other people speaking at the same time. Research examining the neural processes underlying ... -
Intermolecular and interlayer interaction in chiral smectic-C liquid crystals
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2008)The molecular and interlayer interactions in smectic-C phases have been investigated in detail. This topic is one of the less well established subjects in the field of liquid crystals. Various new physical phenomena were ... -
Investigating cortical encoding of auditory space & motion in humans using EEG
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2020)This work uses a novel linear regression-based framework together with scalp recorded electroencephalography (EEG) to study various aspects of spatial hearing in humans. In our first study, we showed that in an acoustic ... -
Investigating the Neural Correlates of Cervical Dystonia and Temporal Discrimination using Neuroimaging based Computational Modelling and Multimodal Pattern Recognition
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2020)Movement disorders, such as Parkinson s disease and Dystonia, have traditionally been considered as disorders of impaired motor control resulting predominantly from dysfunction of the Basal Ganglia. However, there has been ... -
Investigating the Neural Correlates of Speech Processing & Selective Auditory Attention using EEG
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2020)Speech comprehension is a remarkable human ability. Most normal-hearing people are adept at attending to a speech stream even amidst a noisy multi-talker background and parsing the layers of information it contains in ... -
Investigating the temporal dynamics of auditory processing and selective attention using continous and ecologically valid stimuli : a neural engineering approach
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2011)Auditory Evoked Potentials (AEPs) are a measure of the neural activity in response to auditory stimulation and are used in many clinical and research applications. They are obtained from the electroencephalogram (EEG) by ... -
Investigation of Objective Neurophysiological Measures of Auditory Temporal Processing Abilities and Their Applicability in Cochlear Implant Rehabilitation
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2019)Speech is the most important form of human communication. For people affected by disabling hearing loss, speech information may become unavailable causing social isolation and cognitive decline. People with mild to profound ... -
Isolating neural indices of continuous speech processing from multivariate neural data
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Electronic & Elect. Engineering, 2017)The human ability to understand speech is underpinned by a hierarchical auditory system whose successive stages process increasingly complex attributes of the auditory input. To produce categorical speech perception, it ... -
Joint caching and communication for future wireless networks
Recently, caching the most popular content at network edges has emerged as a promising technique to avoid serving all requests from the core network through highly congested backhaul links. From the caching perspective, ... -
