Background: Accurately measuring hypokinetic arm swing during free-living gait in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is challenging due to other concurrent arm activities. We developed a method to isolate gait segments without these arm activities. Methods: Wr...

IonBench: a benchmark of optimisation strategies for mathematical models of ion channel currents (2025)
Preprint / Working Paper
Owen, M. J., & Mirams, G. R. IonBench: a benchmark of optimisation strategies for mathematical models of ion channel currents

Ion channel models present many challenging optimisation problems. These include unidentifiable parame- ters, noisy data, unobserved states, and a combination of both fast and slow timescales. This can make it difficult to choose a suitable optimisat... Read More about IonBench: a benchmark of optimisation strategies for mathematical models of ion channel currents.
