Description du projet
La dynamique du cerveau dans les mouvements ordinaires du quotidien
L’approche intégrative d’imagerie cérébrale/corporelle mobile (MoBi pour «Mobile Brain/Body Imaging») a récemment été développée pour examiner la dynamique des mouvements et du cerveau. Cette technique repose sur l’électroencéphalographie mobile synchronisée à la capture des mouvements pour étudier la relation entre la dynamique du cerveau, les mouvements et la cognition dans la plupart des mouvements ordinaires, comme la marche, l’équilibre ou l’apprentissage de tâches motrices et cognitives. L’objectif du projet TwinBrain, financé par l’UE, consiste à faire progresser les activités de recherche scientifique et technologique en Slovénie grâce à la coopération avec des institutions de recherche internationales issues d’Allemagne, de Suisse et d’Italie. Des chercheurs de pointe dans le contrôle neuromusculaire, la MoBI, la neuroscience des processus cognitifs et l’apprentissage automatique constitueront un réseau destiné à faciliter la formation et le développement de la recherche dès ses premiers stades grâce à l’échange des meilleures pratiques, à des ateliers et des cours d’été.
Objectif
The investigation of brain dynamics in most routine movements such as walking, balancing or learning new motor-cognitive tasks remains a major challenge for neuroscience. An integrative approach to investigating brain and movement dynamics was recently developed under the term MoBI: Mobile Brain/Body Imaging. This technique is based on mobile electroencephalography (EEG) synchronized to motion capture to better understand the relationship between brain dynamics, movement, and cognition in more realistic (everyday) environments. Development and optimization of this technique will provide new analytical methods for high-dimensional MoBI data in ecologically valid contexts, work with data that is not yet standard in the field of human neuroscience, and lead EEG research out of the laboratory environment into everyday situations, which become more challenging for the symptomatic population.
The overall objective of TwinBrain project is to improve the scientific and technological capacity of the country with low R&I performance (Slovenia) by twinning it with three leading international research institutions (from Germany, Switzerland, and Italy). Leading researchers in the field of neuro-muscular control, MoBI and the neuroscientific investigation of embodied cognitive processes as well as machine learning will form a network of excellence that will facilitate training and early-stage research growth through the exchange of best practices, workshops and summer schools. TwinBrain will also provide short term on-site trainings, expert visits and exchanges, as well as start working on future joint research proposals and PhD projects among partners and beyond to be continued after the completion of the project. These will lead to strengthening of long-term infrastructure capacities and facilitate the development of the proposed research area and related careers.
