I am an associate professor in computer architecture and senior researcher at the Applied Computational Neuroscience Research Group of the University of Granada. My research interests include the creation of computational models to gain knowledge on how the brain obtains such an astonishing performance in so many different tasks and, in particular, motor control. Once we understand the biological bases we apply these computational models to control robots, mimicking the way the brain controls our bodies.
I have specialized in cerebellum modelling, as this small brain centre is tighly related to the coordination and movement. I feel mainly attracted by the plasticity mechanisms that support the formation of motor memories and sensorial representations.

The HBP is a European flagship initiative aiming to build a research infrastructure to help advance neuroscience, medicine and computing based on brain computational modelling. Our group is included as part of the Neurorobotics Subproject (SP10).
CEREBSENSING aims to understand how the cerebellum processes sensorial information coming from the cerebral cortex by using computational models embedded in realistic perception-action simulations.
