Robert Goulding holds a BSc(Hons) Clinical Neurophysiology and is a qualified Specialist Clinical Physiologist (Neurophysiology). Robert previously worked within the Clinical Neurophysiology Department at University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff and is currently undertaking a PhD (Paediatric and Child Health) with the Neonatal Brain Research Group, Cork University Maternity Hospital as part of the NEOPRISM project. The overall objective of this project is to develop an automated neonatal EEG classification algorithm, based on advanced feature extraction and machine learning techniques that could be used for constant surveillance of the neonatal EEG in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Robert also aims to combine the automated assessment of neonatal EEG abnormality, seizure activity, and other physiological markers to produce an overall index of neonatal brain health.
