I need a #mathematician to help with a project. Ideally UK-based.

I've emailed a few folks in my uni, but none replied...

Anyone interested?

My need is nonlinear modelling of brain and muscle signals, optimisation, decomposition.

Anyone?

While SES was not associated with affect metrics, lower SES was coupled with lower HRV suggesting poverty-linked stress doi.org/10.1016/j.ij... w/ Michiko Sakaki
