By reading this text, you brain is now experiencing neural activity with potential lasting changes. This is a form of stimulation ] as a natural process. Our lab aims to use electrical, magnetic stimulation signals to produce neuromodulation effects to design solutions to neurological limitations and dysfunctions and extend our understanding of the brain and peripheral functions.

We employ in-silico experiments that describe neurostimulation phenomenon at individual level. Moreover, experimental measurements are used to validate and improve our models and, at the same time, the developed models are used to inform experimental protocols. In addition, we are interested in observing the effects of neurostimulation at cellular level based on multiscale firing nerve models describing activity of brain neural circuits to peripheral nerves. If we are able to seize the control of neural activity we can act on the neural circuits bringing an upfront technology for treating any neuronal disfunctions or disorders.
