Research FOCUS
Neural engineering for diagnostic prediction of the human physiological and cognitive state. Advanced, original neural signal processing methods to create novel and leading-edge, patient-oriented neurodiagnostics methods but also neural prosthetics and neuromodulation devices. Analysis of human sensory and multisensory integration processes using high density electrophysiological analysis and multimodal fusion of information for neurological diagnosis and assessment. Research targeted a better understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of sensory and cognitive processing.
