      • Improving the information that we can extract from electrical signals measured on patients with heart diseases is a major priority for the IHU LIRYC in Bordeaux headed by Professor Michel Haissaguerre. We would like to non-invasively construct the electrical potential on the heart surface only from measurements of the electrical potential on the the chest of the patient. This helps the medical doctor to visualise an image of the electrical potential of the heart of the patient. It is known that have been used in the literature for solving this electrocardiography imaging (ECGI) problem, including those used in commercial medical devices have several limitations. This problem could be mathematically seen as a boundary data completion problem for elliptic equations. Many works in the literature have been carried * out in order to solve this Cauchy problem, but have never been used for solving the ECGI problem. Our goal from the associate team is to develop an experimental platform allowing to test various methods and compare their performance on real life experimental data.
