Improved characterization of visual evoked potentials in multiple sclerosis by topographic analysis (Publications)
In multiple sclerosis (MS), the combination of visual, somatosensory and motor evoked potentials (EP) has been shown to be highly correlated with the Expanded Disability Severity Scale (EDSS) and to p
Mathematical models of contact patterns between age groups for predicting the spread of infectious diseases (Publications)
The spread of an infectious disease is sensitive to the contact patterns in the population and to precautions people take to reduce the transmission of the disease. We investigate the impact that diff
