Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been part of our imaginations and simmering in research labs since a group of computer scientists rallied around this topic at the Dartmouth Conference in 1956. They would give birth to the field of AI. In the decades since, AI has exploded, especially since 2015. Much of that has to do with […]
In my last post I started with a quote from “The Matrix”. Here I would like to go a bit further and make a quick review of the top coolest applications of BCI and Neurostimulation that we often see (and sometimes give for granted) in popular movies. Neurostimulation and awesome virtual reality From my point of view, one of the […]
In a previous post I talked about biometric systems and how electro-physiological signals such as the EEG and the ECG can be combined to obtain a reliable biometric system. Today I’d like to continue from where I left you last time. I specifically want to tell you about one of the main challenges such systems […]
The traditional advertising and marketing has evolved immensely in the past few decades. As a kid I still remember that the most influential advertisement I came across was a radio ad: “…sound of a soda bottle opening, following with the sound of liquids being spilled and swallowed. Then a voice saying: Coca Cola the taste […]
As I have mentioned some times in previous posts, I am pretty sure that in the next years we will see great advances in the field of neuroscience. The 20th century was the century of physics, with great discoveries such as the theory of relativity and quantum physics, among others. I reckon the 21st century […]
On 11th November 2012, I successfully defended my PhD at the University of Barcelona. I will never forget that date and I still vividly remember all the emotions I felt that day. After 5 years of intense research, I had 45 minutes to brief the jury about the motivation, methods and results of my research. […]
When you think about biometrics, futuristic movies like Minority Report or Gattaca might come to your mind. However, the use of biometrics for authentication purposes has been around for a long time but mostly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. After that event the identification of citizens and travellers has become a priority on the international agenda and […]
