The last years neuroscience is living a deep transformation with relevant implications for cognitive science, philosophy of mind and medicine. This revolution is based on recent evidences about the brain - body interaction: Brain integrates information coming from heart, breathing system and gut. In this talk I will introduce the Brain-Body Project, focused on the development of a physiological model of the embodied mind, by means of studying the interaction between brain dynamics with cardiac, respiratory and intestinal function. To encompass this complexity, we aim developing and implementing a mathematical framework based on graph theory and artificial intelligence, allowing the study from a multi modal perspective. Previous results from the group will be introduced in this talk to show the interruption of heart-brain axis in dementia and its role as biomarker in the progression to Alzheimer disease, as well as the reorganization of gut microbiome networks depending on lifestyle.
Coffee and cookies will be served 15 minutes before the start of the seminar
