Ricardo Chavarriaga

Ricardo Chavarriaga is a senior researcher at the Center of Neuroprosthetics of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. He holds a PhD in computational neuroscience and has more than 100 scientific publications on brain-machine interfacing and neurotechnologies. His work focuses on understanding and decoding the neural mechanisms that govern cognitive processes such as error awareness, attention and decision making. His vision targets a future where this information can be used to allow artificial devices to adapt to their user’s goals, preferences and capabilities so as to establish a truly symbiotic relation between human and machines.
