Vito De Feo
University of Essex Lecturer
University of Essex
Dr De Feo worked for two years at the Clinical University of Hamburg-Eppendorf specializing on signal processing and causal analysis of biological signals (Local Field Potential) and point processes (neural spikes). He applied his research to modelling of the information transfer in the brain of healthy and pathological subjects (e.g. schizophrenics). He worked for four years at the Italian Institute of Technology specializing on neural population coding, neuroelectronic and information theory. His research was focused on embedded neuromorphic control systems for bidirectional closed-loop Brain Machine Interfaces (BMIs), on state-dependent neural encoders and decoders, on novel measure of information transfer in the brain, and on Brain Computer Interface (BCI) for non-responsive patients. Currently, his research focuses on Intelligent Systems for Brain and Mental Health.
