Bridging the gap of neuronal communication by means of intelligent hybrid systems
Stefano Buccelli
I receveined the Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Genova, Italy (110/110, with worthiness of publication) in 2016.
During my research as a Master Student at IIT I gained experience in the micro-electrode array acquisition system for in vitro neuronal cell cultures. I tested and validated a neuromorphic FPGA board (developed within the European Project BRAIN BOW used as test-bed for the development of a neuroprosthesis applied to cultured neuronal networks. I have also developed a software architecture in order to manage the entire setup and perform post-processing analysis in MATLAB® evironment.
Currently I am Research Assistant at IIT. My research focuses on the development of closed-loop architectures to deliver activity-dependent electrical stimulation to treat brain injuries.
