Gustavo Pamplona is a Medical Physicist working in Neuroimaging and Cognitive Neuroscience, with a focus on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). He completed his PhD at the University of Sao Paulo and the University of Zurich in 2018. He studied a network-based fMRI-neurofeedback training to improve sustained attention, the individualization of brain regions using resting-state acquisitions, and the association between human intelligence and functional brain connections. Gustavo was also a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Lausanne (in collaboration with ETH Zurich) working on the neuroscientific basis of visuomotor integration. There, he worked on several research projects, such as the neural basis of various visuomotor processes (rubber-hand illusion, mental rotation, indirect sensory experience), validity and reliability of psychometric assessments, reward and learning mechanisms in the brain, machine-learning-based brain mapping of passive movement using robotics, an fMRI-based brain-computer interface of a robotic hand activated by motor imagery. Gustavo joined the Developmental Neuroimaging Group in October 2023, where he supports other researchers in various research projects and is interested in the prediction of reading skills from neuroimaging features.
