Evangelia Micheli-Tzanakou
Edit ProfileCareer
Doctor Micheli-Tzanakou was also a Founding Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), and a Fellow of the New Jersey Academy of Medicine. Doctor Micheli-Tzanakou"s areas of interest included neural networks, information processing in the brain, image and signal processing applied to biomedicine, telemedicine, mammography, hearing aids and electronic equivalents of neurons. Doctor Micheli-Tzanakou received international attention in 1974 when she established the first Brain to Computer Interface (Brain–computer interface) using her algorithm ALOPEX. This method was used in the study of Parkinson"s disease.
The ALOPEX algorithm has also been applied toward signal processing, image processing, and pattern recognition.
Doctor Micheli-Tzanakou died on September 24, 2012, after a long fight with cancer.
