In today's episode we are joined by Juan Gallego, a systems neuroscientist to discuss how the brain controls and learns movement. He is based in the Champalimaud Foundation’s new Centre for Restorative neurotechnology, where he leads the NeoCybernetics Lab, continuing his work on the neural basis of movement while blending fundamental and applied neuroscience.
In January 2020 he joined Imperial College London’s Department of Bioengineering as an Associate Professor, where he led a research group combining behavioral experiments, large-scale neural recordings, data analysis, and computational modeling to understand motor learning and control. Over his career he has published more than thirty-five journal articles, with funding from the EU Commission, UK research councils, ARIA, and the ERC.
This episode is part of our Tools for Looking into the Brain series which is sponsored by Scientifica, leaders in electrophysiological equipment and expertise. This series is dedicated to creating engaging and informative content exploring various techniques used by researchers in neuroscience. Find out more here.
