Brief Bio
Eleonora Maggioni has a PhD in Bioengineering and is Assistant Professor at the Dept. of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering at Politecnico di Milano (Bioengineering section, B3Lab). She is affiliated researcher at the Dept. Of Neurosciences and Mental Health of the Fondazione Policlinico of Milan. Her research focuses on the development of methods for integrating neuroimaging, electrophysiological, and neuromodulation techniques -mainly MRI, EEG, ECG, NIRS, TMS, and VR-and for merging gene-environment, clinical, and neural information in the study of psychiatric illnesses.

SCOPE
Technological advances have enabled the integration of information from different brain imaging and signaling techniques like fMRI, EEG, MEG, fNIRS, and intracerebral recordings (SEEG) to provide a more comprehensive understanding of brain function overcoming the limitations of each individual method.
Moreover, the increasing interest in understanding the interaction between brain activity and other physiological domains has led to new data integration techniques exploiting multiparametric and multi-organ integrative approaches.
This special session aims at presenting new methodological trends, advances, and criticalities in the field of multimodal and multiparametric analysis systems and discussing their potential in the study of the central nervous system and its interactions with the autonomic and other body systems.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- EEG
- fMRI
- EEG-fNIRS

- Intracerebral Recordings (SEEG)
- Brain-heart Interactions
- Structural/functional Neuroimaging
- Multi-scale Brain Modelling
