Focuses on the assessment of brain networks for the study of brain complexity and functional, structural and effective connectivity. The Laboratory’s activity is specifically aimed at the evaluation of modulations of brain networks, studied through connectivity and complexity, due to neurodegenerative and non-neurodegenerative diseases (such as in Alzheimer’s patients, epilepsy, sclerosis, Parkinson’s, Stroke, …) as well as therapeutic treatment and motor or cognitive rehabilitation (such as in Alzheimer’s, Stroke, …). The acquisition methods used are: electroencephalographic (EEG) data, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, simultaneous recordings of electroencephalographic data and electrical and magnetic stimulation (EEG-TMS, EEG-tDCS, EEG-tACS).
The major innovations made by our research are first of all in the multimodal approach to pathology and in the integration of data from different origins, such as those already listed, but also as data from neuropsychological and clinical tests that allow correlation with neurophysiological assessments to follow the patient during disease progression or functional and cognitive recovery through new rehabilitation approaches such as those related to cognitive tasks and magnetic and electrical stimulation aimed at specific cognitive recovery of specific brain areas.
