CO11: NEUROTEK LAB

Multidisciplinary group with members from the Andalusian Health Service (Neurology, Rehabilitation and Radiodiagnosis of the HUPM), members of the University of Cádiz of Psychology (neuropsychology, experimental and clinical psychology) and the School of Engineering (ESI) of computer science. We are the only group from INIBICA and the University of Cádiz with members accredited as general health psychologists with a specialty in clinical neuropsychology and clinical psychology. Our multidisciplinary team encompasses both a clinical and experimental approach to neurological and psychological pathologies using the latest technologies including artificial intelligence (machine learning, computer vision), virtual reality, neuroimaging, EEG and brain computer interfaces. (BCI). We have research capacity and experience in Aerospace and Industrial Medicine and Psychology.
