Dr. Noseworthy

Obtained a PhD from University of Guelph (1997) specializing in applications of MRI/NMR, biochemical assays and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) methods to assess free redical induced brain damage. From  1999-2003 he worked at serveral hospitals. Currently he resides as afull professor in Electrical & Computer Engineering at McMaster University. His research interests include the assessment of tissue microstructure and metabolism using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and multinuclear in vivo neclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic techniques, and the application of complex systems mathematics and machine learning to medical image analysis. Dr. Noseworthy is a member of the Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO), Institue of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) and European Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and Biology (ESMRMB).

Dr. de Bruin

Dr. de Bruin has been at McMaster for over 40 years in various capacities. He recently completed his term as the co-Director of the integrated biomedical engineering and health sciences undergraduate program. Prior to that, he developed McMaster original Electrical and Biomedical Engineering program. His research interests include The development of new computer-based systems and techniques for recording and analysing physiological signals in the basic research and clinical medical laboratories. Basic and clinical studies of nerve and muscle stimulation and recording in animals and humans. Basic and clinical studies in trans-cranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in humans. EEG signal processing and machine learning in neuropsychiatry. He is a member of the Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO) & Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
