Research Interests
HUMAN-MACHINE-INTERFACING
NEURO-ENGINEERING
Goal: Bridging the gap between experimental and simulation approaches for the neuro- and medical sciences.
• Novel high-performance and realtime data acquisition systems for many channels (and neurons).
• Realtime visualization, analysis and data mining in huge neuronal data volumes.
• Modelling of big realistic neuron networks.
