The WavesLab will be present at Trieste Next 2026 in September, 25-27. Don't miss it out!
We develop advanced methods for biosignal preprocessing, analysis, and modeling, with a focus on electroencephalography (EEG) and electrocardiography (ECG).
Our research also includes Brain–Computer Interfaces for movement control, computational neuroscience, clinical decision support, and neuromotor rehabilitation.
A central goal of the lab is to address data-quality issues and build machine learning models that are robust to the intrinsic variability of biological signals.
