Starting Concept

We focus on the higher cognitive functions of the brain. We understand human intelligence as the ability to understand complex ideas, apply knowledge, learn from experience, reason, solve problems, and adapt to new situations.

Research Aspects:

Redes-Neuronales-1

At the Zapata-Briceño Institute, we focus on various research aspects related to human intelligence. We explore everything from complex neural networks and brain regions to brain plasticity and functional connectivity. Our goal is to understand how these areas interrelate and contribute to human cognitive ability, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the nature of intelligence.

  • Neural Networks and Brain Areas: We investigate how different areas of the brain interact with each other during cognitive tasks.
  • Brain Plasticity: We explore the brain's ability to change and adapt in response to new information or experiences.
  • Efficiency of Neural Networks: We study the efficiency and functionality of neural networks in relation to cognitive abilities.
  • Functional Connectivity: We analyze how information flows through different brain regions during thinking and problem-solving.
  • Intelligence/Consciousness/Consciousness Relationship: We investigate the relationship between intelligence, consciousness, and awareness from a neuroscientific perspective.
Research Dynamics

We use a variety of neuroimaging techniques, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), electroencephalography (EEG), and magnetoencephalography (MEG), to study brain structure and function during intellectual tasks.

Objectives of Computational Neuroscience Research:

computacional

At the Zapata-Briceño Institute, our goals in computational neuroscience are ambitious but concrete. We seek to model neural processing, simulate complex neural networks, explore neuronal plasticity, and analyze large neuroimaging datasets. Through this research, we hope not only to better understand the fundamentals of brain function, but also to advance the development of innovative tools and technologies that can improve the quality of life and enhance human cognitive abilities.

  • Modeling Neural Processing: We create computational models to understand the underlying principles of brain processing in intelligence-related tasks.
  • Simulation of Complex Neural Networks: We simulate the interaction between neural networks to understand how they collaborate in performing complex cognitive tasks.
  • Research on Neuronal Plasticity: We explore neuronal plasticity and its influence on intelligence.
  • Analysis of Large Neuroimaging Datasets: We apply machine learning techniques to reveal patterns and connections in neuroimaging data.
  • Development of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI): We create brain-computer interfaces to study brain activity during intellectual tasks.
Other Actions
  • Collaborations with Third Parties: We establish collaborations with other institutions and research centers.
  • Exchanges: We promote academic and collaborative exchange programs.
  • Publications/Co-authorships: We participate in scientific publications and collaborate with other researchers.
  • Technology Development: We contribute to the development of technologies based on our findings.
  • Scholarships: We offer scholarships for students and researchers.
  • Outreach We carry out scientific outreach activities to disseminate our work.
  • Mentoring: We provide mentoring programs for students and researchers.

Zapata-Briceño Institute

We are committed to transforming our research into concrete actions that benefit society.
