Research activities within the Biocybernetics Laboratory are focused on design and development of advanced AI methods for medical data processing, knowledge acquisition & representation. Recently, specific attention has been given to the problems of application of fuzzy logic and machine learning to biological data processing, intelligent man-machine interface, medical decision-support systems and biological systems modelling.
In 2000 the department became the Centre of Excellence – project MIRACLE (Machine Intelligence Research and Application Centre for Learning Excellence) supported by the EC under the 5th FP. Since 1990 the laboratory has successfully participated in many EU research ESPRIT, TEMPUS, TEN, EUREKA, INCO-COPERNICUS, 5FP and 6FP projects, and some national projects funded by the Ministry of Education.
The Gerstner laboratory has established links to more than 20 universities/institutions world-wide under the scope of various types of collaborative projects/thematic networks (ILPNET II, AgentLink, EUNITE, KDNet etc.) and agreements. The Gerstner laboratory organized or was involved in organizing several international conferences, workshops and summer schools.
