Cognition, neural networks and neurotechnology
The Cognition, neural networks and neurotechnology laboratory (www.puiglab.org) investigates how neural networks encode cognition and whether they can be useful biomarkers of cognitive impairment in psychiatric and neurological disorders. We also collaborate to develop state-of-the-art neural devices based on graphene for the simultaneous recording and stimulation of brain tissue. Finally, we are also helping develop new light-activated drugs with potential to advance new technologies in photomedicine.
