Research output per year
I am a clinical neurophysiologist and cognitive neuroscientist. My main research interests are related to:
- Healthy ageing, mobility disorders, and its relationship to cognitive decline
- Electrophysiological markers of brain dysfunction
- Surrogate markers of cerebral small vessel disease
Current Research Projects
- Brain Dynamics in the sensorimotor integration and cognitive-motor control in older individuals.
- Parsing acute brain dysfunction through the assessment of EEG dynamics.
- Cerebral small vessel disease and retinal vasculature.
