Ricardo Chavarriaga is a senior researcher at the Defitech Foundation Chair in Non-Invasive Brain-Machine Interface, Center for Neuroprosthetics of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. He holds a degree in Electronics from the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Cali, Colombia and received a PhD in computational neuroscience from the EPFL.

 

His research focuses on robust brain-machine interfaces and multimodal human-machine interaction. Specifically, the decoding of cortical potentials that convey information about the user's cognitive processes. In particular error recognition, anticipation of future events and decision making. Furthermore, he investigates on how the exploitation of such processes can be integrated with shared control principles and hybrid approaches for BMI control of complex devices.
