A Generalized Correlation Index for Quantifying Signal Morphological Similarity [PDF]
, 2016 In biomedical applications, the similarity between a signal measured from an injured subject and a reference signal measured from a normal subject can be used to quantify the injury severity. This paper proposes a generalization of the adaptive signed correlation index (ASCI) to account for specific signal features of interest and extend the ...

Thermal Processing Creates Water‐Stable PEDOT:PSS Films for Bioelectronics
Advanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 13, April 2, 2025.Instead of using chemical cross–linkers, it is shown that PEDOT:PSS thin films for bioelectronics become water‐stable after a simple heat treatment. The heat treatment is compatible with a range of rigid and elastomeric substrates and films are stable in vivo for >20 days.
