Consciousness

Axel Hutt

The new research team NECTARINE at INRIA in Strasbourg / France aims to create a synergy between clinicians and scientists to develop new healthcare technologies. The team researchers collaborate closely with clinicians and choose their research focus along the clinical applications. Major scientific objectives are the development of advanced online- and offline simulations of neural activity on the macroscopic scale involving new numerical techniques for real-time computation and data-driven simulation dedicated to patient-specific modelling. The specific focus of the team's research is general anaesthesia, description of consciousness and attention and neurostimulation of patients suffering from mental disorders.
