Ana Sofia Hincapié Casas, PhD
September 2018-present
Mild cognitive impairment and mental health difficulties are common among patients living with HIV. Ana Sofia's project aim to identify to which extent electroencephalography (EEG), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), clinical and demographic features, selected using machine-learning techniques, decode the level of cognitive impairment of HIV patients drawn from the Positive Health Brain Now cohort.
Dimitri Palidis, PhD
October 2021-present
When controlling the movement of our bodies, we quickly make adjustments in response to errors, successes, and rewards. Dimitri is studying how learning and motivational processes in the brain respond to reward and error feedback to influence the control of movement.
