CURRENT PROJECTS

 

BRAIN CONNECTIVITY: We are probing deep into the anatomical and functional organization of the brain using medical imaging and electroencephalography data, in order to answer: how are brain networks changed in neuropsychiatric disorders? From here we aim to develop methods for an earlier and more accurate diagnosis.

 

PHYSIOLOGICAL COMPUTING: We are communicating with computers and devices using our own physiological signals (e.g. brainwaves and heart electrical activity) in order to develop novel gaming inspired approaches to prevent cognitive decline and for neuro-rehabilitation.  

 

NANOMEDICINE AND REGENERATIVE MEDICINE: its a come back to the origins but with a novel flavour. We are designing and building a platform for nanorobotics, working with gold and magnetic nanoparticles for drug-delivery and hyperthermia, and developing smart materials for tissue engineering scaffolds. 

 

If you're interest in these topics, please contact me!

MIBCA TOOLBOX RELEASED

 

Our Multimodal Imaging Brain Connectivity Analysis (MIBCA) toolbox has been finally released to help neuroscientists to speed up their brain connectivity research. 

 

Take a look at the MIBCA toolbox and accompanying  PeerJ paper. You may be also interested in our IEEE TNS paper with a preliminary application to Alzheimer's Disease!

BRAIN CONNECTIVITY LEAP

 

Get ready for be amazed! The Brain Connectivity Leap (BCL) is an app that allows you to see brain connectivity in virtual reality! It uses Leap Motion + Oculus Rift + Unity3D.

Check it out the BCL!
