A team from the Advanced Center for Electrical and Electronic Engineering, AC3E, led by researcher Wael El-Deredy, in which also participate researchers Pamela Guevara and Alejandro Weinstein, along with other professionals, were awarded the Anillo fund of the National Agency for Research and Development, which aims to promote scientific and technological development of the country, by financing research projects based on a collaborative, broad and multidisciplinary work.

This funding will allow the development of the VIBRAIN project, “Sensory and electric brain stimulation for neurorehabilitation: from mechanisms to clinical practice”, which proposes an interdisciplinary research program to discover the structural and functional brain mechanisms that support frequency-dependent entrainment by sensory and/or electrical stimulation, and to demonstrate its validity in the selective targeting of neural networks for neuro rehabilitation.

“This fund will allow us to form a team to study something at the cutting edge of neuroscience worldwide, where very few teams have the diversity of skills required to carry it out”, said researcher El-Deredy.

VIBRAIN is a unique initiative in our country, which has a high relevance from the scientific perspective as well as from its impact on public health, with its potential to change the clinical practice of neurorehabilitation.
