National Project
| Advanced methods for the study of cortical connectivity during simple visuo-motor tasks |
| Tipologia: National Project - PRIN 2008 | | Responsabile: Prof. Mauro Ursino (Scientific Coordinator) |
| Sede: BO - University of Bologna |
Unità coinvolte: University of Bologna; University of Milan; Polytechnic of Milan; University of Rome "La Sapienza"
|
Descrizione
The study of neural mechanisms involved in visuo-motor tasks is of high relevance in neuro-engineering due to the significant practical and theoretical outcomes. However, quantitative instruments suitable for data analysis, synthesis of knowledge and employment in practical problems are still missing. The aim of the project is to develop advanced techniques for the analysis of EEG and for the assessment of cortical connectivity during simple visual-motor tasks. |

| Sede: RM - University of Roma "Foro Italico" |
Unità coinvolte:
|
Descrizione
Obiettivo generale del presente progetto è quello di sviluppare un sistema di monitoraggio che consenta di ottenere informazioni sui movimenti locomotori eseguiti da un soggetto sia durante le normali attività della vita quotidiana in ambito domestico (valutazione della prestazione motoria), che durante l’esecuzione di protocolli motori selezionati per stimare quantitativamente l’abilità motoria di un individuo (valutazione della capacità motoria). Il monitoraggio si potrà applicare anche ai movimenti eseguiti durante il trattamento. |
