Andrzej Cichocki Lab. for Advanced Brain Signal Processing, RIKEN Brain Science Institute

The Cichocki laboratory for Advanced Brain Signal Processing is focused on developing novel and state of the art methods to extract, detect, recognize, find functional connectivity, and classify brain signals and to gain the insights building intelligent feature extraction systems. Central research interest: Multi-modal multi-sensory multidimensional brain data analysis, especially EEG/MEG, fMRI data (Human Perception: sound, vision, odors, taste, tactile), Bio-inspired signal processing - Blind Sources Separation: (Independent Component Analysis-ICA, Nonnegative Matrix Factorization-NMF, Sparse Component Analysis-SCA, Tensor Decompositions), Brain Computer Interface (BCI) / Human Computer Interaction (HCI). The neuroimaging systems of our interests include existing modalities such as EEG/MEG, fMRI, and NIRS, as well as, emerging technologies.
