Group of Neural & Cognitive Engineering Description, GNEC-CSIC
The gNeC was created in 2014 from the former GBIO (Group of Bioengineering). It was born with the aim of integrating several disciplines to give answer and technical solutions to questions about the human physical and cognitive disabilities with a nervous system's nature. The group is enclosed under the Applied Robotics unit of Centro de Automática y Robótica (CAR), one of the institutes of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC).
The principal research lines of the Neural and Cognitive Engineering group are centered on the four following topics:
Technologies for human rehabilitation, the group as a long track expertise in research studies that generate a new body of knowledge and development of new technological solutions pursuing the comprehension and control of human biological systems and its relation to the environment. gNec is determined to play a leading role in this neurotechnological field, one of the strongest growing markets in the medical technology business.
Cognitive and movement neurophysiology, gNeC has a growing interest in understanding the neurophysiological mechanisms responsible for movement and cognitive functions in healthy and pathological conditions. The integration of neuropsychological, cognitive and clinical data can lead to generate “machine tools” to support neurodegenerative disease diagnosis.
Cognitive science, the group has a solid experience in the interdisciplinary research and development of plausible architectures of cognitive functions from neurological and psychological evidences explaining brain procedures from perception to output behavior. These architectures optimized to individual subjects produce models that can serve as diagnostic, prognostic and therapy assessment tools for suited interventions.
Human-machine interaction for people with cognitive motor disorders. People with multiple physical and cognitive impairments have difficulties for using properly conventional pointing devices, what reduces their possibilities to communicate and improve their cognitive and physical skills through computers. Our research is focused on measuring the human intention to generate control commands using emerging sensor (motion, muscle activity, eye tracking, brain activity, etc.). The group has proven experience – very significant paper record in highly ranked publications and the participation in several national and European projects- in augmented and alternative communication, filtering of involuntary patterns, motor rehabilitation and objective assessment, among others.
