ROBUST Conference

From 18.1. to 23.1. 2026, our colleagues from the Department of Theoretical Methods (A. Hodúr, R. Rosipal, Z. Rošťáková, V. Witkovský) participated in the ROBUST conference, the 24th Winter School of JČMF, which was held at the Vydra Hotel, Srní, in the Šumava National Park, Czech Republic.

 

Dr Rosipal gave an invited talk titled From tensors to therapy : Statistical models underlying collaborative BCI-VR rehabilitation, in which he provided an overview of our long-term research focused on neurorehabilitation of post-stroke patients in a virtual reality environment.

 

Doc. Witkovský presented a simple but effective tool for estimating parameters and errors in nonlinear regression when modelling uncertainties in measurement. His presentation was titled Iterated linearization as a simple and efficient tool for measurement uncertainty analysis.

 

In her presentation, EEG microstates from the perspective of tensor decomposition, Dr Rošťáková introduced the modified k-means algorithm, widely used for clustering of “2D” data, e.g., when detecting EEG microstates in an EEG signal, and theoretically derived its equivalence with the decomposition of data in “3D” format (tensors).
