DECO, GUSTAVO RICARDO
I am: Full professor and ICREA research professor. I direct the Computational Neuroscience group (CNS) at UPF.
I am interested in: mechanistics account of brain activity data (spontaneous and task/stimuli evoked) at all levels, i.e.: microscopic (neuronal recordings), mesoscopic (EEG, MEG, fMRI) and macroscopi (behavior).
One discovery I am proud of: We formulated and studied whole-brain models that explains the origin of resting state activity.
One thing I would like to discover next: I would love to discover the key spatio-temporal fingerprints of brain activity (and its model) in health and disease.
One article I would like you to read: Deco, G., Jirsa, V. K., & McIntosh, A. R. (2013). Resting brains never rest: computational insights into potential cognitive architectures. Trends in Neurosciences, 36(5), 268-274.
