- Improving performance and biocompatibility of electrode arrays for brain-computer interfaces
- Functional investigation of innovative neural interfaces
- Investigation of sensorimotor functions in animal models (NH primates and rats)
- Machine learning applications to multimodal brain and speech signals
- Human neurophysiology of speech and sensorimotor communication
- Cortical recordings in human patients during awake neurosurgery
- Hardware and software development for innovative exploration of brain signals

Preferable background: computer science, biomedical/electrical engineering, biology, experimental psychology.

Where: The CTNSC is hosted by the University of Ferrara (UNIFE).
