Neuroscience and neuro psychology

Leveraging neural foundations of learning and memory to engineer assistive technologies and bio-inspired algorithms that enhance cognitive performance.

Overview

Investigations into the neural foundations of learning and memory guide refined AI-driven tools and interventions. Implementation of assistive technologies with real-time neural feedback and insights for cognitive enhancement in education. Neuro-inspired computing draws on biological processes to create efficient AI algorithms and hardware. Understanding, modeling and controlling of brain disabilities related to educational and cognitions processes.  Algorithmic optimization focuses on effectively leveraging insights into how humans create, store, and apply knowledge to achieve complex creative, scientific, cognitive and learning goals.
