Neural Interfaces Laboratory at the BSICoS group, University of Zaragoza
BSICoS is a research group at the University of Zaragoza, affiliated with the Aragón Engineering Research Institute (I3A), the Aragón Health Research Institute (IIS Aragón), and the Biomedical Research Networking Center in Bioengineering, Biomaterials, and Nanomedicine (CIBER-BBN). Our group's main objective is to maximize the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) in healthcare applications through the development of physiology-guided biomedical signal processing methods. We focus on personalized interpretation (diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment) of diseases and conditions affecting the cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems. Dentro del grupo BSICoS, el Laboratorio de Interfaces Neuronales realiza investigaciones tanto básicas como traslacionales. Nuestro laboratorio busca desarrollar nuevas técnicas para estudiar las características de la comunicación entre el sistema nervioso central y los músculos.
Within the BSICoS group, the Neural Interfaces Laboratory conducts both basic and translational research. Our laboratory aims to develop new techniques for studying the communication characteristics between the central nervous system and muscles. We also work on innovative methods to modulate brain and spinal activity during periods of movement, intending to utilize these methods for the study and treatment of motor disorders caused by injuries or diseases affecting the motor nervous system.
BSICoS offers a multidisciplinary and dynamic environment in which new members can participate in various academic and social activities. We are committed to training new researchers and professionals in bioengineering and providing them with the necessary tools and resources for a successful professional future. We also prioritize the mental well-being of our employees and foster collaboration and interaction through diverse events for the mutual benefit of our members.
