RESEARCH TECHNIQUES

 

NON-INVASIVE BRAIN STIMULATION

transcranial magnetic stimulation We use transcranial magnetic stimulation to measure the excitability and modulate the activity of different regions of the brain that are involved in various aspects of cognition.

 

NEURONAVIGATION

NeuronavigationWe use neuronavigation to visualize the brain in vivo and improve the accuracy and repeatability of our brain stimulation and neuroimaging protocols.

NEUROIMAGING

 We use electroencephalography to assess changes in the activity of different areas of the brain at rest, during sleep and during different motor and cognitive tasks.

CARDIORESPIRATORY FITNESS

 We use exercise tests to assess the physiological response to exercise of our patients and participants. During these tests we measure cardiac activity, blood pressure, oxygen consumption, and biomarkers.

MOTOR BEHAVIOR

We use different motor learning paradigms, including serial reaction time, visuomotor-tracking and ballistic tasks involving both upper and lower limb, to study the capacity to learn and retain motor skills.

BLOOD BIOMARKERS

Blood BiomarkersWe measure the concentration of proteins such as Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), which are related to brain plasticity processes required for motor recovery.

GENOTYPING

GenotypingWe use genotyping to explore how specific genes determine the recovery after brain injury or the response to different rehabilitation strategies such as cardiovascular exercise.
