Info:

My current research is related to pattern recognition in neuroimaging. The purpose is using pattern recognition on functional magnetic resonance imaging to decode brain states.

Expertise:

- 2D and 3D object recognition, invariant to affine and rigid transformations
- Multiobjective Optimization using evolutionary algorithms
- Higher order neural networks
- Pattern classification
