RESEARCH LINES        1        2
  Our research interests focus on the study of the neural bases of human behaviour, aiming to transfer research findings to more applied health disciplines. The main research lines of our research group involve the neuropsychological and neurofunctional assessment of attention and memory in children, adults and elderly people by mean of digital electroencephalography, magnetoencephalography, and event-related potentials.
 
1    Neuropsychological assessment of attention and memory
 

The CANTAB and MENTFLEX assessment protocols allow us to examine attention and memory function in adults and elderly people. The application of computerised adaptations of these assessment tools allows for the simultaneous recording of brain activity. Evaluation of neuropsychological deficits (memory, attention, language, perception, reasoning, etc...) secondary to brain injury, neuropsychiatric syndromes, and the early detection and diagnosis of neuropsychological deficits related to normal and pathological ageing.
