Assistant Professor of AI and Cognitive Neuroscience

Imagine this: you are completely paralysed, unable to talk or move your muscles. Yet, you can still think, attempt to communicate, and even move in your mind.

My research focuses on reading those brain signals and translating them into a means to communicate via a computer—a bridge between the brain and technology. For this, I rely heavily on the expertise of my IT colleagues. They assist in sourcing the appropriate research equipment, programming experiments, and managing data storage and synchronisation. Thanks to their indispensable technical support, I can effortlessly gather more reliable data, thereby accelerating my research and leading to discoveries that can enhance the lives of, for example, paralysed individuals. I am profoundly grateful to my IT colleagues for their crucial contributions.
