The Main Research Lines :

• A constant research regarding the progress in the algorithms of quantitative EEG investigation, and the development of new electro-physiologic laboratory technologies.
• Experimental neurophysiologic studies with chronically implanted electrodes in normal and brain damaged animals:  researches on motivation (mood), memory and psycho-motor initiative.
• Investigation of EEG maturation in normal and mentally retarded
• Experimental and clinical Biofeedback investigation.
• Cerebral Evoked Potentials generators investigation by electroclinical correlation, and by EEG Mapping
• The study of EEG Mapping semeiology in patients with nervous and mental diseases:  Cerebro-vascular diseases, Encephalitis, Multiple Sclerosis, Epilepsy, Psychic disorders, Motor disorders, Cerebellar disorders, Visual disorders, Aphasia, ALS.
  children.
• The study of Anti-epileptic drugs (and of other drugs) efficiency by quantitative EEG.
  
• Assessment of functional cerebral processes involved in mental activity, and of their deterioration in patients (with Temporal Lobe or Frontal Lobe damage).
  

What is offered to other NeuroMath Partners :

• Our expertise with a high resolution EEG Mapping system, based on source derivation, in humans affected by cerebral diseases.
• The possibility to process with high resolution techniques EEGs recorded in the 10-20 International System.
• The laboratory receives local students for training in the neuro- physiologic practice, and organizes one month summer courses of neurophysiology.

What we are looking for from other NeuroMath Partners :

• To share information concerning their progress made in the neuro- physiological research.
• To explore the possibility of creating in association a new EEG
  Mapping device, with superior technical and processing capabilities than those already existing in the current medical practice.
