Juan Álvaro Gallego, PhD

His research focuses on understanding how animals learn and control their movements through a combination of behavioural experiments, large-scale neural recordings, data analysis, and computational models. He is also interested in applying his group’s findings to advance neural interfaces to restore function to people with movement disorders. During his career, he has published over thirty-five journal articles on these various topics. His research has been funded by the EU Commission, the UK Research Institutes, ARIA, and the ERC.
