N. Calcini

I have a background in neurophysiology, computational neuroscience and data analysis.

My interests are mainly with understanding the neurophysiological bases of thoughts and behavior, as well as how artificial devices can be interfaced with the neural tissue.

Previously I worked on (and still work) on answering the questions of 'how much information a single neuron knows about a stimulus or event coming from the external world', and 'how does the activity of neuronal populations changes at the transition between whole brain states'.
Currently I am part of the Neural Engineering group at MACSBIO, where I am working on in-depth simulations of the integration of neural interfaces and neural tissue, especially as part of the IN-FET project: the development of a novel neural interface technology based on the capture and release of ions in the extracellular medium.
