PTSD detection from physiological signals

Machine learning models identify PTSD from non-invasive physiological signals, including heart rate variability, in a study currently under review. The lab also studies transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation as a potential PTSD treatment for World Trade Center responders with limited response to existing therapies.
