Understanding the brain is one of the big challenges of the third millennium. Our leverage is a joint effort of neuroscientists, clinicians and computer scientists. The improvement of neuroimaging analysis is our contribution to help deal with brain disorders. Artificial Intelligence is the way to learn from brain data.
The Neuroinformatics Laboratory (NILab) rises as a collaborative initiative between the Centre for Augmented Intelligence of Fondazione Bruno Kessler and the Centre for Mind and Brain Sciences of the University of Trento in order to promote interdisciplinary research in cognitive neuroscience.
Neuroinformatics stands at the intersection of neuroscience and computer science, and it provides theories and technologies for managing, analyzing, and modeling data collected with modern instruments of brain inspection used within the neuroscience community.
The research activity covers mostly the design and the development of novel computational models for the integration, analysis, and interpretation of unimodal and multimodal brain-imaging data. The research interests include the translation of results to clinical neuroscience.
Giovanni Sitti joined NILab as a PhD student in the Cognitive and Brain Sciences Doctoral Program at the University of Trento.
