I work on the field of computational neuroscience, and my background is on neuroscience (Ph.D. Cognitive and Neural Systems, Boston University) and engineering (B.S./M.S. Telecommunication Engineering, Universidad de Valladolid). My areas of specialization are modeling and statistics, brain imaging methods, and machine learning, and my main research interest is the understanding and characterization of human brain dynamics with neuroimaging.
On this site you will find my most recent publications and some of the related research software that I have developed over the past few years
(as well as some of the programming and data-analysis competitions and art projects that I enjoy participating in when not doing research)
