Neuroscience Lab: Section of Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychophysiology

Experimental research in this area focuses, in a section of the laboratory of Neurosciences, on new technologies applied to Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychophysiology. The aim of this paper will be highlighting the link between basic research and innovative multidisciplinary experimentation. According with this perspective the projects developed in the Neuroscience Lab will be briefly described: two devices deposited as European patents, a protocol of olfactory stimulation on EEG and neurodegenerative processing, the research on women with IPV (Intimate Partner Violence disorder), projects on neuroaesthetic (applied in museum learning), a study on the marine soundscape and related brain responses, and an experimental work on an haptic and virtual interfaces and on a comparison of motor imagery training with haptic training of augmented reality, as well as training of handling real objects with grasping affordances. These topics would set out a new view of research, extending beyond the technological interfaces in neurocognitive protocols. Will be described the leitmotif of the research activities carried out over the last five years.

本领域的实验研究依托神经科学实验室的一个分支单元，聚焦应用于认知神经科学与心理生理学的前沿技术。本文旨在阐明基础研究与创新性多学科实验之间的内在关联。基于这一研究视角，本文将简要介绍神经科学实验室开展的多项研究项目：两项已提交欧洲专利申请的装置、基于脑电图（EEG）与神经退行性病变分析的嗅觉刺激实验范式、针对罹患亲密伴侣暴力障碍（Intimate Partner Violence Disorder, IPV）女性的研究、应用于博物馆学习场景的神经美学研究项目、海洋声景及其相关脑响应的研究，以及一项围绕触觉与虚拟交互界面的实验研究——对比增强现实的触觉训练与运动意象训练，并开展具备抓取可供性的真实物体操作训练。上述研究主题将勾勒出全新的研究图景，突破了神经认知研究中仅聚焦技术交互界面的局限。本文还将阐述近五年研究工作的核心主线。
