Activities
Basic research on issues relevant to human memory and language, for instance investigating the possibility of modifying time and sp ace perception by appropriate transcranial magnetic stimuli.
In addition, research on meta-cognitive processes, the relationship of psychological cognitive processes and brain function, the relationship of cognitive functioning and artificial intelligence, mechanisms and functioning of visuo- sp atial perception and emotional state control.
Applied research in the area of cognitive rehabilitation targeting aphasic and amnesic disorders. Virtual reality implementation in the treatment of patients with neurological diseases.
