Research team
Neuropsychology and neuroplasticity
The activities of this laboratory revolve around 4 general lines of research: (1) design and development of paradigms and procedures for neuropsychological exploration, (2) AI approach to neuropsychological evaluation and intervention, (3) design of computational models of cognitive recovery, (4) study of the mechanisms of neuropsychological recovery and neuroplasticity phenomena in neurological diseases and mental illnesses.
More specific lines of research:
- Design and development of neuropsychological examination paradigms, procedures, and tasks that: (1) respond to the idea of cognitive integration, (2) increase the sensitivity of traditional tests in detecting cognitive deficits and impairments, and (3) systematize functional and contextual assessment.
- An AI approach to neuropsychological assessment (for neuropsychological diagnosis and functional assessment in everyday activities) and to cognitive and neuropsychological intervention (for the development of therapeutic digital platforms, for example, in the field of functional neurorehabilitation).
- Design of computational models for cognitive recovery and prediction of recovery trajectories in patients with acquired brain damage and other acquired diseases.
- Study of the mechanisms of neuropsychological recovery and the phenomena of neuroplasticity and reorganization of functional networks in order to understand the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying cognitive recovery processes.
- Design of neuropsychological intervention programs based on the idea of cognitive integration, aimed at stimulating collaboration between cognitive systems and other systems such as empathy and emotional regulation.
- Cross-cutting collaborations with projects from other C3N laboratories, providing support for neuropsychological examination tasks and the design of cognitive protocols.
