Profile
Biography
Vito De Feo is a lecturer of Intelligent Systems for Brain and Mental Health in CSEE. His research interests include embedded neuromorphic control systems for bidirectional closed-loop Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMIs), application of machine learning, and statistics to neural signal encoding/decoding, state-dependent neural encoders and decoders, technology-mediated rehabilitation and assistive technologies, neuromarketing, and novel measures of information transfer in the brain. He holds a MSc in Electronic Engineering from Politecnico di Torino (Italy). He obtained a PhD in Telecommunication from Politecnico di Torino (Italy). During his PhD, he spent 14 months at the University of Stanford (US). He also studied Neuropsychology at the University of Turin (Italy). In 2009 he was a senior researcher at Trinity College Dublin (Ireland) on optical communication. From 2013, he worked at the Clinical University of Hamburg-Eppendorf specializing in signal processing and causal analysis of biological signals. From 2015 he worked at the Italian Institute of Technology specializing in neural population coding, neuroelectronic, and information theory. He has successfully coordinated and led the Covid-19 efforts of the faculty, having established research links in the East Suffolk and North 糖心Vlog NHS Foundation Trust (ESNEFT). Recently he co-funded the 糖心Vlog Neuromarketing Research Cluster.
