Curriculum
Francesco Edoardo Vaccari — PhD
Profile
I am a young researcher within the team of Prof. P. Fattori at the University of Bologna.
My activity consists of basic brain research focusing on electrophysiological data from posterior parietal areas to understand the mechanisms underlying motor control.
I am actively involved in training NHPs and other laboratory activities.
I also analyze neural and behavioural data with dimensionality reduction techniques, GLMs etc.
