Research activities
Our group focuses on developing neurofeedback therapies for neurological and neuropsychiatric rehabilitation. We employ advanced electroencephalography (EEG) techniques to identify specific neural signatures associated with brain disorders. Following biomarker identification, we utilize real-time neurofeedback to enable individuals to self-regulate their brain activity, focusing on the identified neural targets. This process facilitates neural tuning and promotes targeted neuroplasticity, aiming to restore healthy brain function. We investigate the efficacy of this approach across conditions like ADHD, PTSD, and a stroke.
By combining biomarker discovery with neurofeedback, we strive to optimize therapeutic outcomes and elucidate the mechanisms through which self-regulation of brain activity drives clinical improvement. Ultimately, we aim to translate these findings into effective, personalized rehabilitation strategies.
