Research

Understanding signals. Building systems.

We study how neural and physiological signals carry information—and how computational models can use that information reliably.

01 · Clinical translation

Clinical neural AI

Our clinical work focuses on robust, interpretable models for routine EEG. Rather than optimizing on a single benchmark, we test how models behave across hospitals, patient groups, recording protocols, and equipment. Current work includes interictal biomarkers for epilepsy and rigorous tests of whether published systems are ready for real clinical data.

02 · Signal quality

Efficient neural signal restoration

Eye movements, muscle activity, and environmental interference routinely obscure EEG. We build compact denoising systems that exploit the structure of these artifacts while protecting diagnostically important neural activity. The goal is practical signal restoration for both laboratory pipelines and resource-constrained devices.

03 · Neural principles

Bio-inspired computation

Biological systems achieve useful computation with striking efficiency. We study recurrent excitatory–inhibitory systems, attractor-like dynamics, and connectome-constrained networks as compact testbeds for sequential inference. The emphasis is on controlled experiments that separate the effect of topology, dynamics, and learning rules.

04 · Theory

Neural dynamics & information

EEG is a multivariate observation of a nonlinear dynamical system. We use tools from time-series analysis, covariance geometry, information theory, and network science to characterise state changes and ask which aspects of a signal representation remain identifiable and useful.

05 · Neurotechnology

Brain–computer interfaces

We investigate signal acquisition, conditioning, feature extraction, and adaptive decoding for real-time neural interfaces. This work connects our foundational research on robust signal processing with systems for communication, motor rehabilitation, and assistive neurotechnology.
