output the boolean state of whether a FoG episode was occuring in real time. The learning I gained from this research led
|

|
me to pursue other related signal processing tasks to boost the final product for Parkinson's patients.
|
||||||
|
Researching other Parkinsonian symptoms led me to explore tremor detection (uncontroleld shaking of the hands),
|
||||||
|
and I implemented a real-time tremor detection model that involved a bandpass butterworth filter to isolate tremor frequencies
|
||||||
|
between 4-6 Hz, followed by an FFT to extract frequency-domain features. These features were then fed into a lightweight
|
||||||
|
1D CNN, resulting in state-of-the-art 99\% accuracy while limiting false positives. I also looked into signal processing
|
||||||
|
within my FTC robotics team, realizing that IMU data could be used to improve odometry and localization. I implemented a
|
||||||
|
custom Kalman filter to fuse IMU data with wheel encoder reading, significantly reducing drift during autonomous navigation
|
||||||
|
and reducing error buildup over time. }
